Veggi Bowl by ryanSimpkins

Pentax K100D My wife wanted to make some salsa. She made the mistake of piling the veggies in the bowl just like this. I took the bowl from her and shot pics of it. Just a little light editing followed to give it some punch.

Sun Beams by Rick Knowles

the Boundary by ryanSimpkins

Pentax K100D I was uncertain as to how I should feel when I saw my immediate future confronting me. This piece has a subtle filter applied to hide the pixelated effect inherent in digital photography. I also tweaked the lighting a bit to get rid of the dreary effect a nasty storm leaves over everything.
morning light by Allan Erickson

Here at my home, just north of Eugene, OR. A low morning fog was around the farm and fields. As the sun first rose the fog thinned… and I was confronted with this.

Purple Haze Channels Jimi Hendrix by David McMahon

This was shot in early 2007, one of those strange evenings where a dull grey sky suddenly transforms into a riot of colour after the sun has disappeared beyond the hirozon. I moved around a lot, trying to get the best overall depiction I could, while the colours began with a smattering of light pink for several minutes before they suddenly took on dramatic orange and purple hues. The skyshow lasted fairly long, seven minutes in all, but the orange-and-purple strips were only evident in the last ninety seconds. I had used a variety of silhouettes through this sequence until I realised that the foliage of these two plane trees (with foliage similar to the maple) were perfect for what I was trying to achieve. Because the foliage was no longer very dense, I was able to use the tree on the left to highlight (but still show through gaps in the leaves) the wonderful sky. The tree on the right was spot-on to use as a motif on the right-hand side of the frame. Interestingly enough, this was the very last shot of the sequence I shot that evening. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/20 sec, ISO 800, focal length 125mm. 17-7285

Umbrellas And Cycles Never Mix by David McMahon

Yesterday, as the long, record-breaking heatwave finally came to an end and rain eventually descended on this parched state, I happened to spot this unusual sight. A young woman (a total stranger, I must add) was bent over her tethered cycle, trying to unlock it with her left hand while sheltering herself from the rain with a colourful umbrella in her right. I knew I had to take the shot. And I knew I only had scant seconds in which to do so. Even though my Pentax is weather-sealed, I decided to quickly find a covered area for protection from the rain. There was one a few metres away, and I raced there, unhooked my camera bag, snatched my camera out of it, thanking my lucky stars that I had my long lens on, took off the lens cap and switched the camera on – just as the young woman unlocked her bike. Speed (on my part) was critical. There were passers-by in all directions. I opened up the lens fully, composed this very tight frame and fired off one shot. I was determined to let the umbrella and the cycle dominate the image, not the young woman’s face. I wanted this to be an unusual, but completely unposed shot. Apart from the colours and the total anonymity of the composition, I was also drawn to the many shapes – there are arcs of circles, as well as several striking rectangles in this image. As I took a second shot, a pedestrian walked in front of me. In all, I fired off four very quick shots, but this, the very first one, was closest to what I was trying to achieve. But the story doesn’t end there. As I walked to the car park, I wondered how on earth the cyclist would manage to ride away while holding the umbrella in her hand. In a few seconds, I had my answer … There she was, several metres away, not riding the bike, but wheeling it so that she could protect herself from the rain with that colourful umbrella that had caught my eye in the first place. Maybe one day she’ll see this image and smile at the memory ….. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K200D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F5, 1/60 sec, ISO 800, focal length 300mm. 120-1245
A Bokeh of Gems II by Eva and Klaus Weber-Wanjek

Macro work with a tripod, my Pentax k20d, halogen light and crystals. This was purely experimental work, toying around with DoF and trying to achieve the bokeh effect. Just a tiny bit of enhancement and cropping. The goal was to achieve some background images on which to base Winter and/ or Christmas greeting cards, like: Some of the images I just find beautiful (more or less) straight from the camera.
