Bill Pador > "Horse Farm" I've been really busy with some personal stuff so I grabbed one out of the archives from the fall. I shoot this at my favorite horse farm around the corner from my house and since I have been playing a lot with B&W and Sepia's the last few days I figured I would develop this one into an antique sepia with selective color and use some burning & dodging techniques to bring all of the detail into play to really make it pop. I couldn't resist bringing the rusted fence back in color, it had some really cool texture to it. Thanks for everyone who has signed up at www.photographycorner.com and made your 5 posts so that your ready to vote for my image next week. If you want to help me out and haven't signed up yet please see the intructions posted on yesterdays POD. Hopefully this will be my year to take a prize home, I could really use it ;) Best Regards, ~Bill~
Bill Pador > "Fading But Not Gone" Today was a so so day here in good 'Ol New Jersey, the weather is rapidly changing to a winter feel needing a heavy jacket and warm shoes to walk about but even so our fall colors are fighting to stay around even after our first snow storm yesterday of 6" which just about wiped out what little leaves are left but melted just as fast as it came, but you can still find glorious colors scattered about the forest & mountains. I didn't have to go far for these remnants of Autumn, just a 30 second walk down the street from my house which presented this scene which shows the light shades of browns in the grass that has gone into hibernation already, gray sky with a tad of blue for teasing purposes and some fading colors fighting to stay alive if just for one more week. These trees survived the pounding of mother natures winter fury yesterday so I thought it would be nice to capture & preserve the last memories of the best Autumn colors I can remember in recent memory here in NJ. So say good bye (MAYBE) to my glorious colors of days gone by, winter is finally here my friends! Enjoy your day everyone, the weekend is almost here ;) ~Bill~
Bill Pador > "First Snow Fall 2008" Hi all, first I want to apologize to my partners in the Challenge for being MIA for a few days. I was unable to complete the assignment due to a slight illness over the weekend and then a family emergency kept me from signing on to the internet for the last 2 days. Even if I would have completed my challenge there is no way I would be able to compete with the others submissions as they all did a wonderful job and I was just having a terrible week creative wise and then the problems over the weekend, Monday & Tuesday really slammed the door shut for me. Everything is back in order with the emergency so there is no need to worry about anything. Today's shot is just a quick one from my front door showing our very first Snow STORM we got today with over 6" causing massive havoc and terrible road conditions shutting down just about every major road in the area with accidents, fallen trees and cars off the roads in ditches. It was an unexpected storm and no one was ready for it, my kids were even 2 hours late coming home from school as the buses were unable to navigate the roads. This shot was taken just as the storm was getting here and the accumulation started gaining speed very fast after that. Oh well I hope it gets warm tomorrow and melts this crap, I HATE snow and it's not a very good thing for my back injury either, makes life a painful reminder of all my injuries with weather like this. Best Regards, Bill
Bill Pador > "Lake Side Reflections of Color" Some of the colors found by a Lake Community here in NJ. It's a gorgeous day here today and I'm enjoying a quiet relaxing day catching up on some TV & no kids in the house for a change. Hope you all are having a wonderful day as well. ~Bill~
Bill Pador > "Autumn Colors Fade" As the Autumn Colors Fade they still present a colorful landscape here in New Jersey. The leafs are falling quickly and a nearing rain storm will probably knock a large amount of color from the trees as it passes through. I guess it's time to start firing up the Still Life studio indoors real soon and begin the winter practice of house hold macro shots. I've started writing down a bunch of projects to do for myself for when the time comes to be stuck in the house so hopefully I can keep myself busy and the ideas pouring from my brain. Sooner or later I'll be just like the kid on the old commercials staring out the frost covered windows looking at his bicycle all covered up in the back yard wanting spring to come LOL Have a great weekend everyone and hopefully there are still some fall colors in your neighborhood. ~Bill~
Bill Pador > "Coming To an End" Well the Fall Colors have treated me very well this year. It was a very exciting & productive season for color hunting and my successful trips day after day are now coming to an end. The leafs are falling from the tress faster then ever after a strong 10 day period where they were in full swing. Now as I look around they seem to be disappearing as fast as the clock hands sweep around every 60 minutes, bringing the dreaded winter months closer & closer. I still have a TON of images to process from my outings but they will get put into my Fall Colors Gallery soon. I wanted to do it yesterday but a last minute client booked a session that took me all day & not to process for gift purposes and my clients come first so I stayed up until 4am completing the job of processing over 800 images from the shoot. This shot comes from a spot around the corner from my home again and I liked the way the colors blended with the nice blue sky. Very little processing was involved, regular sharpening and a re-size is about all involved here. I hope you all enjoyed my Fall Color presentation this year and I look forward to grabbing some nice winter snow & ice scenes this year. I have a few SECRET spots I scouted during the summer so hopefully they pan out with some good images this year. Have a Great Day Everyone ! ~Bill Pador~
Bill Pador > First let me start by saying THANK YOU for "ALL" of your wonderful comments on yesterdays image, I was very proud of that one but had no idea it would be such a hit with you all. I'm going to be entering that in a contest for fall colors that Karina has turned me onto and will also be using my Lake image from the other day as well, and have to choose just one more since they allow 3 submissions per person. I've actually had a FANTASTIC day today not only because of your comments but I was just contacted via email from a long lost friend & family member this morning whom I was so close to I used to consider him my cousin and after he divorced my cousin we lost contact for the last few years. He found my web site some how and we talked on the phone just now and it's like we never missed any time. It was so wonderful talking to him and we have now promised each other not to lose contact again. So that topped off an already happy day for me. This shot was taken on the way home from that FIRE ROAD shot and is actually where I turned off this road to the fire road. So I figured I show you what I was already looking at before I made my detour LOL. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and again Thank You so much for all your wonderful comments & support, I am one very happy artist today ;) PS: If you'd like to see the other 11 photos from this series go to my FALL COLORS 2008 GALLERY where I posted them today Best Wishes, Bill Pador
Bill Pador > "The Magic of Nature" I think these are Red Maple Trees, I saw them as I was driving down the street and the pile of falling leafs caught my eye along with the fence. The cool thing about these trees is that they line a Christmas Tree farm (in the background) which is funny to me to have the fall doing there magic putting these to sleep while new born trees will continue to grow in different stages until Christmas time a few years from now just behind them. Post was done using TOPAZ LABS 'ADJUST' filter and that's all that has been done to this one. I'm up early this morning because I woke up in a great deal of pain with my back injury and had to down my meds in a hurry. I was able to get my mind off of it by texting back & forth with my good friend John (300m) who always seems to be there for me at the right time. What a great friend he has been to me and helps me out more then he knows, so this is dedicated to him as my very good friend, Thanks John ! PS: I'm now available on SKYPE - User ID is: bpphotos My Quote of the day "Seduce my mind and you can have my body, Find my soul and I'm yours forever" - "Annon..." Have a great day everyone ! ~Bill Pador~
