This one is just because . . . Because I haven't played with my favorite B&W in a while and thought I should go back to having fun in the dark room with a simple image and try to create something out of it. How'd I Do ?

Bill Pador > Hey how's everyone doing this weekend? Me I've been VERY busy lately working my butt off. I just shot the Junior Prom tonight and have a Sweet 16 booked tomorrow night. Talk about a LOT of post processing this week, Whew ! I'm looking at about 50-60 hours easy. Hey it's money in the bank though right! I'm sorry I've been just a little behind on my comments this week, I haven't been feeling well and now all this work but as always I will get to you if I missed commenting on your work the past few days. I did a lot of catching up the last 2 days but I have more of you to get to and I apologize for that. So thank you all for your continued support and have yourself a great weekend.

Oh the shot, it's just a small image of a corsage my daughter brought home from a party the other night I saw laying around and took a quick capture of it, then played with focal point and some framing fun. Hope you like it, it smelled WONDEFUL !

Best Regards,
~Bill~

Bill Pador > Just a close up of the Wild Flowers I found the other day in the field. Hope all you mothers had a great Mothers Day yesterday

~Bill~
Bill Pador > Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers out there.

I spotted this wild flower field the other day while picking up my daughter from school so I stopped yesterday to grab some shots. The hills of New Jersey have filled with color & lush forest now.

Then last night while driving on Rt.# 80 I grabbed a beautifully colored sky thet I've also added to my gallery since I'm a few days behind. It can be seen BY CLICKING HERE

Have a Wonderfful Day All

Bill Pador > HAPPY FRIDAY Everyone ! The weekend is here, Yippy ! I was out front of my house shooting some tulips again and I saw these two really cool flowers. This is NOT a trick shot, these 2 Tulips were right next to each other and both of them looked almost exactly alike with one pedal drooping down even at the same angle like this and other pedals in the same basic pattern. I couldn't believe what I was seeing so I had to post this one and title it Mirror Mirror LOL. In post I did a soft focus layer, enhanced color & contrast then added the framing. I got some awesome bokeh on this shot don't ya think? That's grass in the BG. . . 

I've been up all night with spine pain again but it's under control with my meds but just too uncomfortable to sleep so I stayed up and learned some new tricks & techniques using LightRoom 2 during the night. I also created a whole bunch of new Artistic PRINTING LAYOUT TEMPLATES so I can just drop image(s) right into the template to print. I THINK they can be Exported and then Imported from my system to yours and if that is possible and anyone wants the templates let me know and I'll email the to you. It will save you a bunch of time setting them up yourself and I did some really cool one's for Artistic purposes that can be printed to a .jpg file instead of on paper and then can be posted on your sites (Things like triptychs, multiple pano's, special portrait displays etc.) If you want them drop me an email at billpador@gmail.com OR CLICK HERE TO EMAIL DIRECT and I'll jet them back to you. Maybe I'll use one tomorrow so you can see what I'm talking about. . . 

Wishing you all a great Friday and hope your as excited about the weekend as I am

Best Regards,
~Bill~
Bill Pador > Well this week hasn't been too good for me health wise. My injuries have taken their toll once again especially with the rain we're having but today is a bit better. I've done nothing but sleep on & off the last 2 days but I still feel exhausted because it's 45 min. on 30 min. off type of sleep, while tossing & turning in pain. Ah the life of being disabled really is interesting LOL. I'd pay anything to be normal again but that just isn't going to happen so I'll smile when I can and keep praying for a miracle to happen some day.

This is another of my tulips that came up this week, nothing special but they sure do smell wonderful. Hoping that each of you is having a wonderful week and have yourself a great weekend. Hopefully I will be getting 'Smiling Joe' on his way around the world some time next week. I can't wait to get this project off the ground and start seeing all of your wonderful photos coming in. Once Joe meets up with his Traveling Partner things should go smoothly, I've spent countless days & weeks preparing this project so hopefully it will run smoothly, then it's all up to you and your wonderful skills to make this 3 year dream come alive. Thank you to every one who signed up for the project to make this a success, I'm very excited to see the results.

God Bless & Have a Great Weekend Everyone !

Bill Pador > Well it's a nice cool Wed. here at 65' which is 30' lower then yesterday but our normal late April temps. More tulips have popped up in my garden so my flower dailies continue. I was able to get this one when the sun was lit on the top of the tulip highlighting the yellow parts nicely and then choose to go selective color with it to really bring the detail of that sunlit part out.

Hoping everyone has a great hump day

PS: This is Now Hangin in my Living Room as an 11" x 14" Matted Print I liked it so much ;)

Bill Pador > "Spring Has Arrived"
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, I did ! The Sweet 16 shoot went well last night and today was a gorgeous 90' Sunny Day built for photographing everything in sight LOL. I took my 99' Camaro out of cold storage in the garage, put the battery in and fired it up with the first key turn. I took off with camera bag in hand stopping first at a local Ford car show where I shot some Mustangs, Shelby's and a few other odds & ends that I will put in my Extras gallery tomorrow. Then I did a 90 minute road trip just listening to music and the sweet exhaust note of my 800 HP Camaro. Upon arriving home I spotted my Tulips reaching for the sun out of no where so I took some shots of them too. This was shot with my trusty & favorite lens the Tamron 90mm 1:1 Macro, this was by far the best lens price/value I've ever bought & so much fun to use.

I got a massive migraine from being in the sun & wind all day along with having a really sore back from working last night which is always normal the day after. So I'm gonna lay down and relax until this headache goes away then return to see what you all shot over the weekend too ! Oh tomorrow I'll report on the SB-900's first outing in a professional environment, I have mostly good news but also one MINIOR cough.

Best regards,
~Bill~
