Death Valley 2006

  • Rhyolite47
    During the Easter weekend, I took a long-deserved photo trip to my favorite place in the world, Death Valley. For the past couple of months, we've been having too much rain and it was great to get out in the sun again. I've been to Death Valley a couple of times before, and this time I tried to visit new places. This time I visited: Rhyolite, Stonepipe Wells, The Dunes (I can't remember the name right now), Golden Canyon, Artist's Pallette, Devil's Golf Course, Badwater, and Zabrieskie's Point. I took two bodies - Hasselblad 503CW (with 3 lenses) and Hasselblad SWC/M. I used Kodak TMX for 503CW with a tripod and Kodak TMY for the SWC/M handheld.

Blurry Vision

  • pedestal
    I have always been fascinated by selective focusing and shallow depth of field. To me, it is an explicit way to express the most important part of the image. For the same reason, I enjoy using vignetting as a visual effect. The series of pictures here are taken from various places including italy and california. Obviously, they are grouped as a series as they share the same type of visual effects, not because they share the same subject or geographic location.

Body Parts

  • Reading2_san_jose
    Collection of body parts taken from a variety of places. I am one of those that believes sometimes 'less is more'. In this case, I feel that by showing only parts of a body the image gives a stronger impression than a full body shot.

Equus

  • White_horse_34
    I was born in the year of the horse. Maybe that's why I am fascinated with horses. When I started photography, I was very inspired by Keith Carter (another reason why I am so obsessed with selective focusing). After buying his book, "Ezekiel's Horse", I always wanted to have a chance to take pictures of this beautiful creature. Last year, I went to Vegas with my friends, and instead of playing golf, I drove out to Death Valley. I had the slightest idea that I would have an encounter these beautiful horses.

Rainy Road

  • I took these pictures on one rainy day. Living in the bay area means that for about 9 to 10 months every year, you miss rain. This was a weird day in the sense that it wasn't during the rainy season, but you can tell I enjoyed it very much.

Winter B&W

  • #5
    One camera, one lens, I took a bunch of pictures. It was on a ski-trip at Beaver Creek, Colorado that I took all these pictures in a couple of days. Extensive use of Tilt and Shift made the selective focusing possible. It was a bright day, and I liked it when the sky came out dark.

I'm inclined to agree with you.

After all the research, I've decided to get a 'standard' version with MP finder. I don't know if I'm gonna have any real problem with the original finder, but I know that it will affect the resale price. I just felt 'safe' to buy what every one else is buying, I guess.

Your article is appealing. After reading it,I derive pleasure and benefit. What's more, your blog looks simple and elegant. I like it. WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE AND HAPPY.

This camera is the special edition "Betriebsk." version. The term Betriebsk. refers to a test camera or factory camera. In the past, Betriebsk. cameras were highly sought after by collectors because of the very limited number of cameras available with this designation. Produced in a very limited quantity, this camera is brand new, unused, with full warranty.

To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have.

ut it’s life. If challenges could always be overcome, they would cease to be a challenge. And remember – if you are failing at something, that means you are at your limit or potential. And that’s where you want to be.

Agree with your article. This one additional point I would make: there continues to be a misconception that social media users are young,

First, the original viewfinder for the M7 had the same 'white-out' problem that the M6 has. When you are pointing to a bright scene, your focusing patch turns white (bright) which makes it impossible to focus at all. Leica fixed the problem by installing the MP finder some time around 2003 and they've been providing upgrade at varying cost (I was recently offered to upgrade free of charge).
