this shot looks quite processed but to good effect, pretty striking

i always like this one
One of these three. Taken at a Battle of the Bulge Reenactment in January. Shot with a Pre-war Kodak retina II and hand developed the film myself. I'm going back and editing these pictures via photoshop now to try and correct contrast issues.
Some cracking shots in this thread. What a great off topic corner of the forum One I took recently that I am proud of:

Photography is one of my great other passions. www.freester.co.uk if you are interested.
This is in my top 5 for sure.
Hope you enjoy it.

I go around town and look at the development. It's said people like to live at transition points: the beach, where water meets land; or the foot of the mountains; or near the edge of the cliff with a view. Well, I'm thinking that a city being developed is full of such transition points, but they are temporal rather than spatial. Here's three shots I've grabbed over the years, usually while riding my bike to and from work.
Regarding the shot of the crane about to chomp the dormer window... for years I took my film to a lab for processing (then I'd scan it and print digitally) and the lab was bulletproof. Meanwhile, for years I'd been looking at this abandoned old shack in my neighborhood, one block from my house, waiting for it to be torn down. When I got this shot I took the film to the lab and it's the only roll they ever goofed up; that's why the image is totally reticulated. Now I don't shoot film anymore.
Thanks David for the compliment, I didn't use a plug-in, I mostly do tilt-shifts manually in photoshop but used an action for this one. If you like, I can email you the tutorials.
Thanks very much, but in that case, I will pass. Great picture!
to quibble, this thread started off as pick one shot, right?
Not to worry! I think most of us use recycled electrons for our postings, so the impact on the environment is minimal.to quibble, this thread started off as pick one shot, right?
I can relate to that. I was at the Ho Chi Minh Museum when I came across some professionals shooting a wedding. Saw the moment and took this shot. If only those damn professionals would get out of my wayThat's a really nice image, Texaninkc.
I was lucky to get this yesterday. Lots of wedding Shoots going on and the Chinese make a huge deal of it. While their results can seem a little staged, they certainly know what they're doing. I slightly annoyed the Pros by elbowing into their shooting space to grab this one, but it only took 15 seconds so I didn't feel too bad.
