Just wondering - what is an "interestion"?
Paul Furman
Thanks Bowser!
My comments:
Ski Tracks
Interesting framing, a bold approach to filling a tall portrait frame.
Subtle cross-path.
Tree Down on Lines
Oh, the temptation to drive under that... not smart though, I guess.
Well captured.
Freeway Cloverleaf
What are the partial v-shaped (paths?)?
Eleaphant Skin?
Nice rich textures pique my curiosity.
Tree Hacked around power lines
Ha! That's by far the worst I've seen, but I guess if it works it works.
Funny there's a replacement pole lying on the ground.
Geologic Folds
Dizzying/disturbing... I like geologic curiosities.
Train Track Junction
The green area and yellow sign make a curious relief.
Palm Reading
Beautifully executed for such a simple concept.
High Tension Power Lines
Strong composition.
Welded Wire Mesh
I like the bits of twigs & bark, how they jump into the game to play.
Farm Furrows
Mine. D700, 180mm, f/2.8, 1/125 sec, ISO 800 at sunrise.
Contrast added to raw in post.
Living Room
Nice architectural harmony.
High Rise
Classic slice of Americana.
Laser Light Show
Pink Floyds 1970? <g>
Interesting to follow the moire patterns and contemplate.
Roman Aqueduct
Well captured, beautiful sky. Seems to be modern construction for
pedestrians?
Roof Tiles & Cinder Blocks
Harsh contrast. I can see this as an illustration for some specific
magazine article.
Stacked Bricks
Surprising how long I lingered on this apparently plain scene.
Barbed Wire
Is this a very long lens? I know barbed wire pretty well but never saw
such dense spacing. Nice topsy-turvy composition with the wandering wire
and leaning poles.
Lines On the Tracks
Hmm, what is this? There aren't any rail road tracks... The curvy line
must be the work of a child <g>.
Knit
Rich detail.
Ball of Yarn
The shadow and wood texture add life to this.
Mesh in Perspective
Haunting. Anxious.
Bridge Snow
I really like this. The glow does not look like f/11 but I like it.
Chinatown Corner
I love how the garish banner doesn't really even stand out much in this
dense scene <g>.
Psychedelic Orchid
Shazam! :-)
Freeway Crossing
Interesting interplay between the tall subtle poles and horizontal
roads, with the vertical buildings playing third fiddle. Um, OK I
finally noticed the Jesus billboard :-|
Cathedral & Skyscraper
Fascinating surreal juxtaposition.
Round Causeway Above
Neat architectural feature well captured. Looking the other way would
have been quite different if everyone was coming toward the camera.
Skyscrapers
The tilt works well for this. I still like the tight cropped one you
posted in another thread.
Paul Furman
Interesting question!

It was f11 and HDR with two variations of a single raw image. I put a
Gaussian blur on the background.

I tried to convey a very busy interesction, where everything merged into a

Folds in the Rinconada Fault, near Lake Nacimiento, part of the
Oceanic-West Huasna Fault Zone, California. Definitely lines and
intersections in a geological sense.

Just another cliche. I had a few other shots in mind, the Hwy 41 & Hwy
46 intersection at Cholame, site of the September 30, 1955 collision
between Donald Turnupseed & James Dean, for example.

...and this idea was also one I had considered using vineyards, but I
the salad crop with irrigation lines works nicely, along with the foggy
tree line. (Isuspect there is a stream hidden in those trees.)

With your "interesction" it looks like you had couple of beers before
responding to Paul. ;-)
Having said that, all three were interesting submissions for this SI.

Jesus. I did not even notice the fog in the stream bed! Lettuce was my
best guess, thanks for confirming. This was a ways south of Gilroy
(garlic territory in summer).

Me too.
I guess if you let PG&E play with a chain saw you are going to get bad
decisions made.
It had been that way for years, and I always thought of it as one of
the local characters, now to be mourned.

Reconsidering the fate of that pine, it had been growing that way for
many years and was somewhat off balance. I have no knowledge of its
actual condition, just its quaint shape. On one side there was the
potential to fall into Nacimiento Lake Drive, and on the other it
threatened an almond orchard. So there was probably more to the
decision to bring it down, than sensitivity to my feeling of loss.
It just looks kind of odd now seeing that stump. I am sorry to see it go.

160mm on a dSLR, equivalent to 240mm on a 35mm, so yes a long lens which did
compress the perspective a bit but the barbs really were exceptionally thick
and close together, the lens just accentuuated the effect. I wasn't
thinking of the mandate when I took the shot, it was just something which
looked good with the light and the mix of harsh man-made barbed wire on a
very jumbled fence with natural grasses in the background.

It's a guided busway in Cambridge UK. The council has spent lots of cash
building a concrete guideway for specially adapted busses and it has been
finished for ages but it's not going to be opened until a secret snagging
list is fixed, if ever. In the meantime it provides lots of opportunities
for alternative uses. Although there is a cycle path of sorts alongside it
the surface is unpleasant so people have taken to cycling along the tracks
themselves as they are smooth. They're a bit narrow but as you can see
plenty wide enough provided you're not too drunk. Photoshopped out of the
picture is a triangular red warning sign telling people not the go on the
tracks, I thought it distracted from the photo and clearly the cyclist
didn't think much of it either.
I took a whole heap of shots from this one location with the idea of
blending them together to give a wacky focus effect. I may still do it but
it takes a lot of work and I simply haven't had the time.

A close-up of skin that's over-processed and grainy from using an ungainly
(pun intended) amount of ISO to get enough DOF is what stands out in your
"creative eye"? Wow. No wonder you shoot the crap images you do.
Then again, considering the other submissions, I guess it is right up there
with the rest. That's anything but a compliment by the way, for any of
them. It's nice to see that no professionals will be losing their jobs to
any SI submitters again this year. (heh, that made me chuckle)

I think I located your photo site and the stream and treeline are there.

So you like to follow fault lines as well? I am sure you are aware that
valley follows the San Andreas all the way down through Parkfield, and
out to the Carrizo Plain.
BTW, have you done the hike through Pinnacles NM?
I think it is time for me to do it again. I last visited some 10+ years
ago, and it is just a short drive away.

Yep, I had fits picking my other two pictures, and might have been

the others I liked quite a bit but didn't use em..

Naw, I liked the "Jesus Saves" sign.. Makes it a tad more mysterious,
and makes one ponder a bit more as they look at it..
But that's just me.. :)

Yep, I can see your point.. I was trying to avoid using all
"building" shots, and kind of like everyday scenes. Actually to me,
having the cars and people are parts I like for a shot like that.
But I think I could do better on future shots. That was a spur
of the moment snap taken through the windshield of my car when
I was driving through the intersection. Which BTW, being an
intersection was another reason I picked it.. I thought it fit.. :)
>

Yep, again I can see your point. On that one, to me the appeal
was the angles and texture. Also, part is what you can't see.. IE:
you can't see the top of the left building, so it's almost like it
goes
forever.. But I can agree, nothing really spectacular... I just
thought
it "framed" fairly well I suppose.
I may well have chosen other pictures.. I knew I was going to use
#1 as it was my favorite, but the other two I might been better
off picking others..
Anyway, thanks for the comments, and BTW, any negative comments
don't bother me at all.. I'd rather hear what people really think..
Here are a bunch of others that I shot in the process..
The first four were pretty strong contenders in the final
choosing, but they lost out being I could only use three..
407 is a different version of #1.. I almost used it, but
decided to go color at the last minutes..
dt10 is an uncut version of #1.. I did cut the right hand building
and left hand trees for the final image..
I liked 300 as it looked like the building was getting a jump
start... :/
301 I just liked cuz the colors looked good to me..
The rest were just ones I churned out as I weeded
through all the images. I came close to using 209
at one point, and ditto with lines00..
I had fits trying to choose.. :/ Also.. to the other P&S
user.. Don't feel like the lone ranger.. That's what I'm
using right now. And I'm in no big rush to buy a DSLR,
although I'd certainly like to have one. The lens prices
give me sticker shock though..
With the Sony W290 I'm using, I have the downsides
of the smaller sensor vs some of the better cameras,
but I don't have any real complaints about the Zeiss lens
considering what I paid for it, which was $87+tax for that
one.
I actually have two of those just alike. One I'm going to
convert to a trail cam later for critter pictures.

And, I nearly fell through the ice. I was skiing too close to the
intake for the local water treatment plant when the ice "creaked" just
a bit. Luckily, my weight was distributed by the length of the skis. I
had to either back off or drop the 5D II to shed weight. I kept the
camera.

Beats me. Next trip to Indy I'll drive by and see if I can figure them

LOL, yes it's just off the page to the north. I was curious and also
looked it up on google maps. If you zoom in you can see a gravel turnout
on A-Line Highway, the winding view is looking north from the pullout,
we pulled over & spent the night there because Pinnacles campground
closes the gate at 8PM. Test run for a friend's van/RV. Fun watching the
farmers do their thing in the morning while I made crepes & sipped fresh
coffee.

We could meet there some time, half way between us. Yeah it's a great
hike (although too hot in summer). I met a photo club there last year
but went to the wrong side (100 miles drive away) though I did meet them
on the summit for Condor watching. The caves are crazy, at one point,
you have to crawl on your hands & knees in pitch black across some iron
grating, with camera bag off the back, inching along...
Too bad about the split pine. It looks like the new taller poles were
part of the decision.

"Indy", as in Indianapolis? My home town. Back in my decadent
youthful days we used to think that consuming five or six White Castle
burgers before going out drinking would coat our stomachs with grease
and deter the effects of alcohol. They were 10 for a $1.00 then.

Thanks. I'm not sure "Ball of Yarn" has much merit.
"Mesh" is actually a tennis net.
Next time try to use fewer words in your critiques. Really. It takes

This was one of the later shots taken on my way back home and only happened
because I'd just wiped some mud off my other hand. I took this while sitting
on a concrrete footing of the pylon.

Took several shots of the power lines and pylons. This appealed more than

This is part of a birdwatching platform on a boardwalk in the nature

Yes, Indianoplace, home of a manufacturing plant for my company, and
numerous white castles, which I visit every damned time. I also head
downtown to one of the excellent restaurants near the football
stadium. I really like that town.

The only time I went there was to visit the Navy.
Yes, the Navy.

Did you not mean White Castles? Otherwise, Indy IN has changed a lot
since I was there. There was only one castle then, and it was pretty
dark and dingy.

I grew up there, and frequented White Castles, but I don't remember
any castles there. There was a town on the northeast outskirts of
Naptown named Castleton, but there was no castle in Castleton. Carmel
wasn't chewy, either.
When I lived there the Colts were still in Baltimore. The only
professional teams were the Indianapolis Indians (Triple A baseball),
the Olympians (NBA basketball) and the Indianapolis Capitals (American
Hockey League). There wasn't any professional football or stadium.

~1200 MW ( a 300 MW power station gives out 400 A @ 400 kV). It has 2 wires
in parallel to reduce air ionization due to strong electrostatic field
around the coductors.

A regular dog walk for us passes under the viaduct along the side of the

Trying to retain detail in the blocks, lowering contrast left it all a

It's a bit odd to look at, sort of moves on its own.

I think so, but I'm not 100% sure. It was Navy, then Hughes, now
Raytheon. Located on 21st st. Huge plant with the most amazing
flooring system I've ever seen; acres of hardwood with about a foot of
foundation to prevent any vibrations or resonance in the facillity.
They built the Norden bombsights for use during WW II, but have a very
different mission now. And there's a White Castle right around the
corner on Shadeland Ave.
Damn. My stomach gets to rolling just mentioning the name "White
Castle."

David Brenner (I forget which one) used to tell a story about coming back to
LA with a suitcase full of Tastykake cakes and pies etc. and trying to
explain to the police that they really weren't smuggling anything. They
just missed the hometown snack. LOL They are good.

Carrying cupcakes cross-country is one thing, but a sack of cold,
greasy, burgers is quite another.
My wife and I recently visited a couple that she had gone to high
school with in Rockford, Illinois. The couple was down here on
vacation. They brought several bags of Mrs Fisher's Potato Chips with
them for my wife. It's a brand that is not available in this area and
my wife dearly loves them.
I can't think of any edible product that I'd like brought to me from
my hometown of Indianapolis. Maybe a six-pack of Wiedemann's beer to
see if it's a vile as people tell me. That was the cheap beer of
choice when I (illegally age-wise) started drinking beer. At the
time, all beer tasted vile to me, but it was "cool" to drink beer.

Stegemeyer beer he brought home and drink it thinking we were so "cool". It
definately isn't the best beer, but I liked it. In later years when I could
legally buy it, Gennesee Cream Ale of New York was a favorite. Now, though,
the best most consistently good beer I've found is Coors Original (Banquet
Beer).
I can identify with the potato chips too. We have a few favorite brands
here:: Martin's Kettle Cooked, Utz's, Herr's etc.

Yep, sounds like NAWC Indy. They were de-governmentalized around 2001
or so with many of the government employees following into it. They
tried to get me to bid our product against a long standing incumbent.
(Who had a very good system, BTW).
Would have required a pretty good NRE investment on our side (FFF),
qualifying and then being permitted to bid. I asked them to pay the NRE
to get us into competition (the usual way) and they refused. So I
walked on it - they really just wanted to spook the incumbent's price down.
