Paul's TIME

The Old Court House, Boston MA.

Nikon D70s
Nikkor 18-200mm @ 26mm
F/5.6
1/250 sec

Boston is full of this juxtaposition of old and new. The buildings surrounding the hall are a couple of centuries newer, as is the underground metro station right beneath the old building. If that's not enough time, check out the clock on the end of the bulding.

There's a little cropping and some perspective transform in Photoshop^TM to correct some converging verticals, and I also tweaked the colour palette to bring up the rather washed-out look of the brickwork.

Times Square, NY NY.

Nikkor 18-200mm @ 22mm
F/4.8
1/90 sec
Taken quite by accident, this one resulted from my accidentally hitting the shutter release while zooming. It is by far the most interesting photo I took of Times Square. I just like the movement suggested by the photo.

This image is straight out of the camera and cropped to 800px high for t'web.

Thyme after time

Nikon D70s
Tokina 12-20mm @ 12mm
F/5.6
1/4 sec

Available light plus tripod. No 'pod Plod at home. The versions I tried with flash all looked flat and boring, so I resorted to an angle lamp just out of shot. I tweaked the white balance afterwards.

Unfortunately, the extreme wide angle distorted the image big-time, so out came Photoshop^TM and the distort transform tool. While I was at it, I noticed that the WB screwed up the colour of the thyme. It's back to a more natural green through careful use of a mask and the green colour slider. Maybe I should have used a nifty fifty (that I don't own) to blur the background kettle, knives and saucepan.

As for the subject matter, think of it as preparing to cook. There's the thyme herb, and also the kitchen timer, all poised for time to cook.

TIME - Richard's Efforts

Okay its "TIME" this month folks so TIME to get your efforts in.

Inspiration didn't strike this month and running out of TIME so though I'd follow Mr. B's efforts and just use tenuous titles ;-)

To honor the departure of the Beckett's to Australia we went for a night TIME shoot of SZ road. Just had TIME to down load and PP so here are the results.
I'm sure Steven will post his HDR'd in TIME and Colin will have shot his but not downloaded yet as no TIME.


TIME spent with friends

EXIF
Canon 350D (Santa PLEASE help !)
Sigma 10-20mm
Av Mode, f22 min, about 13 sec.
-1/3 EV
ISO 100
Normal WB



What TIME is the next Metro

EXIF
Canon 350D (Santa PLEASE help !)
Canon 28-300 IS L
Av Mode, f22 min, about 8 sec.
-1/3 EV
ISO 100
Custom manual WB, shot the "white" off the track sides then tweaked in camera.



There has been some photoshop in these but not much by my standards ;-)
A sort of manual HDR composite.

I'm sure the rest of you can sneak some TIME for a couple of quick shots. Just how much time does 1/4000sec shot take.

Please take TIME and feel free with the C&C.

Cheers,
Richard B.

Time - A Wet Play Time

Ok, I am going to openly admit right off the bat that this is a VERY spurious link to the subject of 'Time" but I have decided to name this "A wet playtime" if only so that I can use it for the homework:

Then in the Global Village carpark early this morning following the three days of rain in Dubai.  As usual comments and criteque actively encouraged, and if I think of anything better before the end of the month I'll post that as well.
