Bill Pador > "Another Day Goes Away" 10-21-09 / I shot this sunset this evening at one of my favorite spots for sunsets, The Rockaway Mall Parking lot LOL. It may be funny but I have known since 1990 when I lived just across the street 200' from here and had a deck off my kitchen that faced this very mountain giving me the exact view you are seeing now and I used to sit on the deck every night waiting for this scene. Just having this view increased the value of my town house 10's of thousands of dollars when it came time to sell it. The deck & this view were my favorite part of living there. This image is almost SOTC with the exception of the long crop, basic sharpening & frame. Enjoy it my friends ! PS: Thanks for all the wonderful comments the past few days on my Fish Eye Lens series ! ~Bill~
Bill Pador > Added 3/20/09 - Field River with Mountain Background
Bill Pador > I was on a landscape shoot yesterday driving around town looking for new things to capture when I passed this old church that I've seen many times and stopped to shoot it out the car window. This image was actually shot in "Broad Daylight" and then brought into LightRoom 2 for some magic. I took the exposure down, brought up the blacks and applied some custom filters I've developed to get it down to a night scene. Then I used the new brush tool (which is very cool BTW) and painted over the areas I wanted to bring the exposure back up on. Selecting the church itself and then the wiggle pattern of snow in front of the walk way. Then touching a small amount of snow on the mountain in the background to give it some depth. Then I dropped in to CS3 and used the NIK Color Efexs Pro WHITE NEUTRALIZER to isolate the white of the building & snow to give it a more balanced color & tone along with making the snow cold with a blue hue. Finished off with a Key Line frame. I have a bunch of other shots I took yesterday that turned out good and so many others I've taken this winter that I'll post in a new 'Winter Landscape '09 Gallery' that I'm making now, I'll announce when it's up and ready to be viewed. **PS: Thanks for the comments on yesterdays abstract & smug problems. I still can't get my cookies to work, hopefully they'll fix that soon :( ***Some Good News*** I was contacted yesterday by the local High School who are interested in me shooting their Junior Classes Semi-Formal event & portrait session in May. I have to put a bid in for Monday & hopefully I'll win the contract. That would be a great gig to do, I enjoy doing those kinds of events and doing all those portraits would be awesome. Keep your fingures crossed for me ;) I already have the contract for their annual Fashion Show which is in 2 weeks for the 2nd year in a row! ~Bill Pador~
Bill Pador > "The House On The Snowy Hill" This was my alternate choice for my POD image today 1/13/09 because I was having a hard time deciding which one to put up. I really liked this shot because of all the lines in the hill side cris crossing across the mountain side and the forest tress & bushes creating such a huge geometry puzzle look to it. So I had to add this one to the Extra gallery because i felt it a shame to waist sitting on my hard drive. I went with a custom B&W / selective color I created in NIK SILVER EFEX PRO which if your not aware of it is one of if not the BEST B&W conversion software package available today. VERY simple to use and has more settings then you can shake a stick at. For more details on this incredible software plug in visit http://www.niksoftware.com/silverefexpro/usa/entry.php PS: If you own it already they also have over 30+ additional Pre-Sets you can download there too !!! ~Bill~

Bill Pador > "The River Flows" On my way home from an appt. today I stopped at one of my favorite fishing spots on the Rockaway River in my town to grab this capture. Too bad I didn't have a set of waders in my car to get the little water fall that is located just below this scene but I have to be UNDER the bridge I was on in order to get it in the frame LOL. So you'll have to settle for this one. I love the little water flow control house that is dilapidated here, it adds a nice rigid feel to the scene. I've watched the roof continue to collapse over the years and soon it will just fall in completely. This is one of the best trout spots around here and they stock the river just upstream weekly during trout season from the farm with tags on them so you know if you caught a wild or farm bread fish. The mountain you see in the background is part of the Picatinny Arsenal where they develop & test new weapons for the military. Anyway, it was an overcast day here as you can see and it really brought some nice contrast into the picture that I liked. I had to make slight levels adjustments to bring the clouds out a bit more and then some selective dodging & burning to the shadow areas but not much more to this one. Oh and a slight filter applied to bring the colors up a bit since it was so dark here. 10 min. of work and it was finished. So I hope you enjoy this next addition to my fall colors month - I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and get out there to enjoy the crisp clean fall air ;) ALTERNATE VERSION: You can see a second version in SEPIA of this image in my EXTRAS Gallery BY CLICKING HERE Best Regards, ~Bill~
