Post by: ByeBye on October 18, 2006, 08:52:46 PM
Let's have a photography contest on the BBS. Everyone can vote on which is the best photograph but of course it will be unofficial.

Here is a recent shot I took for a client. It's called. "Shadow World" I think it captures the despair, yet the hope of an un-rented building. I like to create worlds.

I didn't know it was AA but I figured it had to be a large format camera.

It's a great pic though.

Maybe nuke had to close his artificial turf business and that's his old office building.

Would be easier to see if he didn't smear out the area code of the for lease sign.

(http://hallbuzz.com/images/homer_2006/7_22_06_funky_rocks_1024.jpg)


Historical Geology was a subject I enjoyed in College.  

My notes from 1992:

Geomorphology

Northern Kachemak Bay:  Northern side of the Watershed has layers of progressively younger Tertiary sedimentary rock, coal, and beds with plant fossils can be found along the bluffs. Common rock types include shale, sandstone, coal, and claystone, derived from sediments that were deposited in the Cook Inlet trough by former stream systems.  

Southern Kachemak Bay:  Southern side of the Watershed contains older igneous and metamorphic rock dating back to the Jurassic Period.   The McHugh Complex is an accretionary wedge. Argillite, graywacke, pillow basalt, and banded chert form a tectonic mélange of heavily deformed and broken rock. The cliffs along the shorelines in Halibut Cove offer good examples of the twisting and contorted rock layers that result from pressure, subduction, and uplift. The green, purple, black, red, gray, and layered bedrock are layered creating interesting outcrops along the shoreline.

Eskimo's guide info in more detail.

Chert is formed by the consolidation of layers of silica ooze that contain skeletons of marine microorganisms called radiolarians. These silica skeletons sink to the bottom of the ocean. As the crustal plates move, they carry these consolidated silica-rich layers along until subduction occurs. It is then subjected to more heat and pressure to form chert.

Another common rock type, argillite, is a slightly metamorphosed form of shale. The cobbles found on Kachemak Bay's beaches are often composed of graywacke, and rounded sandstone created by turbidity currents.

I hope I can pass some of this crap onto my 5 year old son before I leave this Earth.   I wish to take him to Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Shiprock, Bryce, Tetons, Glacier, Alaska, Yellowstone, etc.   Also the only place on Earth Blue Galucophane Schist can be found, in Oregon.   Instead of the seafloor colliding and going under the Continental Plate (subduction), the opposite thing occurred (obduction).

Let’s see more fisheyes!  I’ve got a fisheye lens too but don’t use it nearly enough.  Cool idea saving the round picture as a PNG with transparent corners.  I’ve filled the corners with the same color as the background; it’s smaller in file size but looks crappy anywhere else.

PS, my daughters have Swedish names: Svea, Brigitta & Annika.  Is Sveno your first name or nickname or?
Title: Photography contest!
Post by: sveno on October 20, 2006, 05:08:28 PM
thank you eskimo2 for your remark.

i have no fisheye anymore and no access to one right now. its just to expensive for the real value it gives for me. its fun messing with one tho :D

transparent png's are tho a problem for internet explorers (well in 6 still it was, those dweebs). they show no transparency, the show the default (back) color.

me likes the names of your daughters! a collection of the finest scandinavian girl names.

sveno comes from sven oehrbom (Öhrbom), a provider back in 1989 didn't wanna mess with my complicated last name, so "sveno" was born - i liked it from the first day on :)

 I refuse to live up to peoples expectations so I'll post a reply right away.  That I dont post often doesent mean that I dont read the boards. I have posted a lot more than 4 posts since 1999, it must have been lost in the system somehow.

Straighten the horizon on the lake shot and crop out the distracting object in the right foreground.  A little saturation wouldn't hurt either; the colors are a little bland.

Thanks for the tips!

Did you like the concept and the wording? I like to be a little sassy, yet refined in most of my professional art for clients.
