Went to visit Katie this afternoon - not a good visit, but I'll post that in the private thread. Clearing my mind, frustrated, I grabbed a quick lunch and headed in to the industrial zone of Ft Smith. Here's a set of 4, all shot on the D70s with the 18-35mm. I've begun bracketing as much as possible with the D70s, usually .7 to a full-stop either direction. The RAW/NEF converter in CS2 gives me enough power to push/pull as I need to, but the bracketing gives me a bit more room to wiggle. All are filtered with the TLR B&W conversion actions, adjusted a bit more as needed via levels/curves/shadows-highlights, and a bit of unsharp as well. The 18-35mm is a very sharp lens. These all shot at f11. I think the first one here is a wall-hanger. Your mileage may vary. All versions are hotlinked to large versions. Might look good as your desktop wallpaper. Looks good as mine. Hope all are having a decent weekend. Craig     |

Sounds like I might be having a better weekend than you, though I certainly haven't made anything like as many interesting images in the last few days...

Lot of grain in those first two Craig. I'm assuming corn?  |

Last time I ordered a French Dip, some dude, with a beret, came mincing out of the back, doing a bad Jerry Lewis impression.

Craig, that first shot it bee-yootiful! I love the dark sky and the white clouds. As I'm looking at your post, it's lunch time, and now I want a roast beef sandwich au jus (as we say here in Canada) ... yummy!!

The first one is wonderful. Show it to the plant manager, I believe you have a sale there.

pardon the ignorance of a lad from Oz, but what is a french dipped sandwich Thin sliced roast beef in a French bread roll, served with a small bowl of the broth the beef was reheated in (usually a savory mixture -- I make it from beef boullion, garlic, and a few spices). Dip the end of the sandwich into the broth, then try to eat the wet bit without dribbling it on your tie, shirt, pants, small children, etc. |

The first is a great dramatic shot & the last just screams Americana. Nice work.

Wow, Craig. That first shot is inspirational. I travel to Oklahoma each year, see similar scenes, but have never captured one that well.
That's the spirit of Learn:Teach:Grow!

AND sounds reasonably healthy...no deep frying In brussels you can something similar for breakfast It's french onion soup served with a thick slice of french bread topped with melted cheese..actually, come to think of it it's not similar at all |

It's french onion soup served with a thick slice of french bread topped with melted cheese. Without the floating bread, cheese, and time under the broiler to melt the cheese, it's just onion soup; with that stuff, it's *French* onion soup... The cheese, sadly, has a fair amount of saturated fat, but this serving method doesn't usually have much cheese. The bad news is, I could easily go through two or three bowls of this... :eek: |
