If I ever get rid of the wife I have had for the past 35 years... I am going to hire him for my next wedding :yes:

My sentiments exactly. I've been meaning to tell HH that but I don't want his head to swell up. But I don't care how good of a photographer he is I am not gonna get married again just to have great wedding pics. :D
 
I could NEVER be a wedding photographer. There's nothing scarier than the wrath of a bride whose wedding photos are botched. :D

HH, you deserve hazardous duty pay!
 
Back during my days when I shot weddings with film (you youngsters may not remember) I always dreaded dropping my film off at the lab, hoping the tech didn't have a hangover or had recently been served with divorce papers. Luckily, I never had a problem but was aware of others unfortunate losses. Back then when you dropped off your film the labs were only responsible for replacing the film but not the images lost. I can only imagine how many rolls ended up at the bottom of the dip and dunk tanks from improperly secured film rolls.

Digital photography sure has changed that.

Thank you. Truth is, when you make every mistake possible over the years it's no longer scary. Mistakes become experience that ensures there aren't any botched shots. And I have made every mistake. And then some.

Case and point, in this shot I forgot to pchop out the utility polls in the reflection on the lake.

This thread is about having fun and letting the creative side out.

This one started out as a photo of a bamboo grove.

I'd like to know how addylow zoomed the lens on the Chrismas tree without moving the camera? That must e a hell of a tripod... and how long was the exposure?

Sorry guys, I don't have any photo software on this to even try messing with anything... So I'm just lookin and learning...
 
I posted this in the abstract thread but I guess it fits here as well.

This is a macro of a CD under light and processed through a script-fu in Gimp.

No software needed to do the zoom effect.

To do that shot I did use a sturdy tripod but the trick lies in simply working the zoom as you expose. Start out with the image zoomed in, set exposure for about 1.5 seconds, and smoothly zoom out as you expose the shot. Each time you stop zooming will create a dot on the zoom lines.

It's easier to do than explain. My 7-year old granddaughter took the first shot below (after I demonstrated the technique to her). As you can see, she stopped several times during the zoom out (at least 7 by my count), and had a slight wiggle of the camera as she zoomed.

Give the technique a try on any cluster of lights. It's fun to play with.

This image shows four zooms over the exposure interval. It also has a bit better white balance.
