I don't know if you can claim the Old Man of the Mountain.  The whole area was socked in by fog, for about a month, but the fog had lifted, just about the time I arrived with some friends at one of the scenic overlooks.  I shot two maybe three frames with my LX and probably the M*300mm f4.0

There was a famous natural bridge on Aruba. In 2002, I went there to photograph it. Shortly thereafter, it collapsed into the ocean. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aruba_Natural_Bridge About a year later, I went to photograph the Old Man of the mountain, the symbol of the State of New Hampshire.

An interesting use of technology and photography. Like traveling back in time! Directions: There are phots from 1944 Click on the photo anywhere and it will become 2014. Click again and it will go back to 1944. Then scroll down for next photo.

Yes, that's true, but to my eye, it's quite surreal.   In addition while the water level on the left looks much higher, there's no size reference, except for the figures that on the beach to the right, which I didn't notice until well after taking in the apparent water level difference which

I'm butting in to suggest the reason for the water level disparity is that the left side shore is not visible. J Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 15, 2018, at 10:30 AM, P. J. Alling wrote: > > The impression I get is that the water level on the left is magnificently > higher than on the right, a

John, previously I only sold my gear on PDML and PentaxForums. I sold few items to local photogs who were from the same venues... I'll have to really research that as I've no idea as to how these things are done here. You're right about the taxes though as of recently, it has become quite all

The impression I get is that the water level on the left is magnificently higher than on the right, a trick of perspective. It gives the image an Escheresque feel.  I don't know if that's what you intended, but in my opinion you achieved it.  I like it. On 12/15/2018 3:42 AM, Larry Colen
