wjwilcox Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Silly me....I thought they were scratches on my UV filter. Very nice, Ken, as always. I will put star trails on my to do list, but not in the middle of a town square with some questionable characters milling around...some danger I do not laugh in the face thereof.

xKnuckles Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 A few from last week's vacation. Nothing better to do at night in Newark, Ohio, than play tourist and take photos of the historic district: 8:27 pm by Bill Wilcox, on Flickr Midland Theatre by Bill Wilcox, on Flickr Clock and moon by Bill Wilcox, on Flickr Midland Theatre by Bill Wilcox, on Flickr These are great, Bill. Somehow, it seems to me lthat you have managed to create the effect that they are painted on velvet. Beautiful colours. Quote "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!"

Anne, the velvet is probably the digital noise from the high ISO the camera uses to pull off those night shots at hand-held shutter speeds. Mike, instead of flying, do a road trip from Naperville to the Garden State...stay off the Interstate and the Pennsylvania Turnpike to find all the good stuff and avoid the tolls.

Mike Martin Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Mike, instead of flying, do a road trip from Naperville to the Garden State...stay off the Interstate and the Pennsylvania Turnpike to find all the good stuff and avoid the tolls. I actually did a big road trip this past weekend. I drove from NJ to Columbus, OH for a wedding and back to NJ. I should have done exactly what you said, it was a beautiful day on Sunday for my drive back. I'm such a geek though, I spent most of my drive listening to photography podcasts instead of music. I actually took several hundred shots at the wedding for my brothers step-son. There was a wedding photographer there but from what I've seen they should have some more time searching for someone. The wedding photographer came to me for batteries for her flash, she didn't bring any....I had 16 AA's in my bag. I was pretty happy with my results. http://mikemartinphotography.pass.us/sankerwedding/ Quote -Mike Martin Casio Mike Martin Photography Instagram Facebook The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network The opinions I post here are my own and do not represent the company I work for.

KenElevenShadows Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Mike, what photography podcasts do you listen to?

Mike Martin Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Mike, what photography podcasts do you listen to? The first ones I started listening to were from these guys: http://improvephotography.com/podcasts/ They now have a few different podcasts in their group. One specifically on portraits as an example. I don't always agree with them but now that they seem to have a group of hosts its good to see that they disagree with each other from time to time. There has definitely been some very valuable information there. Avoid their one called Thoughts on Photography - the host and the audio quality makes it a bit to painful to recommend at this time. I also subscribe to the full podcast feed from TWIP - This Week in Photo: http://thisweekinphoto.com/ Several of the shows I started thinking this isn't for me have ended up being very insightful. I'll add that I'm amazed by the popularity of photography lately along with all the websites that are making money teaching things about it. As far as the podcasts go, there isn't anything quite like it in the music world that teach the basics of MIDI...keyboards and more. The SonicState podcast is always on my list but that is more about gear than instruction. There are lots of parallels between the music and photography world but this is one area that is different. Anyway, just thinking out loud.

We did the same drive last Thursday...NJ to Newark, OH, which is about 30 miles east of Columbus. We took side trips through Bethlehem, PA, where I used to work, Connellsville, PA, to watch trains and antique shop, followed US40 for a while to avoid an accident on I-70 and stayed in Newark for the night. Just south of Newark is the Dawes Arboretum and a Mail Pouch barn (my first!). Quote www.wjwcreative.com www.linkedin.com/in/wjwilcox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the signs for the Dawes Arboretum and was tempted to stop. Next time...

Joe Muscara Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 http://mikemartinphotography.pass.us/sankerwedding/ At first glance, I thought that said kanker's wedding. Those shots could have been taken by a pro, Mike. Nice job. You could start charging money. In fact, most of you in this thread could! Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

RABid Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Don't like those little pesky things like clouds get in the way of your star trails photos! Set your camera on a table, let it click away, and go get something to eat!!! The clouds plus that length of star trails give it a feeling of rain which I really like.
