Dave,

As always there is a story behind this amazing image. When you get a minute, could you please share a little of it?

I am mesmerized by it and I just gotta know a little more. Thanks!:):):)

Before I get around to posting one final firework image later this week, I thought I'd post this consecutive pair for illustrative purposes only. What happened was a very unusual/rare westward wind for this location whipped up simultaneously as a barrage of "end of the firework show" shells were fired. It appeared to many as though some sort of incendiary device was unintentionally set off and many spectators could feel the immense debris of the spent firework casings raining down on them. Coincidentally it almost coincided at the point when the National Symphony was playing the finale to the 1812 overture. The visual was unusual to say the least.

Thanks for the positive comments and the questions, chaps.

Lens slightly refocused between frames
Different editing for noise, contrast, etc. on each file

Hi Dave. The foreground was shot with a monopod, hand held. The bird really was really there. I focused on the building and breaking wave, so the bird is not razor sharp, but I make 24"x32" prints. The sky was a different exposure to add mood. In reality it was grey and foreboding, but I added a different, somewhat more dramatic sky. It was raining, but I accentuated it in photoshop. It has proven to be very popular. I have about 70 big, matted and framed prints in a local Bar & Restaurant here, and we being a barrier island resort town, I sell to visitors. In fact I just sold that image last week. I price reasonably, and do OK; it pays for the habit! That scene has changed dramatically, as the bay front is being rebuilt with condos, etc. Polly"s Dock is a magical place. If you would like to see more, please visit my web site, and look at the tag called "Polly's Dock". Many shots in all kinds of weather.
Best regards

From my last shoot with dave.gt a couple weeks ago. This is with the X1D and 45mm. Sorry for posting the same vantage points over and over again but I haven't had much time to get out and about this summer :( I do have to say as much as I lust over an Achromatic back, I'm pretty happy with the B&W conversions I've been getting out of the X1D.

BL - I am truly flattered... Have been thinking I'd like to have a go at running workshops. Might be slightly tricky with having just relocated back to England with two young kids, but will probably do it if enough people are interested.

Thanks again!

Yours blushingly,
Ed

I just dusted off my 645D. Have not used it in 2.5 years. I spent the better part of Sunday reading the two manuals, and playing with the camera. I have only one AF lens: the 45-85FA. The manual lenses I have (I just love the feel of these old beasts from my film days): 35mm, 75mm, 150mm, 200mm, 120 macro, 300mm f4A* with matched 1.4X converter, and a Pentax 645 55mm with adapter. I started looking at some of my older shots made with that camera and lenses. Here are a few:
Thanks for looking
