Contest winner for our second quarter photo contest (no theme)!


First Place

Old Olcott  Peir

This was taken at Olcott Beach in Olcott, NY on Lake Ontario.  It is a 2 min exposure at sunset with a Canon 5D Mark II, 24-70mm f/2.8 @ f/16, 70mm for 120 sec. with a B+W 10 stop Neutral Density filter.  No effects were done after the fact, the effects are all from the filter.  It is tough to use these filters (but I love doing it and have many) because it is so dark that you can not compose, meter or focus through the filter.  It must all be done before hand, calculate the required exposure and then screw the filter on.  I use the camera in Bulb and use a remote trigger.  I am an engineer by trade and a complete amateur at photography ( about 1 year now) but have been working hard at it.

Little Bear Peak

This picture is of Little Bear Peak in Colorado near the Great Sand Dunes
 in the early morning.  Over 14,000 ft at the peak.  I was on my way to the Dunes at
 about 6:30am when I saw this from the truck and knew it would be a great
 picture so I pulled off.  Loved all the different layers, the right place at the right time!

Shot with my Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L and a B+W circular polarizer.

 

 

 

 
Letchworth Inspiration Point

This shot is from Inspiration Point at Letchworth State Park, NY.  In the evening I was here taking some pictures and just happened to be there when I saw a hot air balloon rising above the trees.

Shot with my Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 100-400mm L @ 150mm, f/11, 1/100s
