Thanks for looking ;) ~Bill~ I needed to catch up on my missing dailies so I posted 2 additional images which can be seen here for comments: Baseball Field: http://billpador.smugmug.com/gallery/5957529_DbeQJ/1/376934303_xpzfx Lone Doe: http://billpador.smugmug.com/gallery/5957529_DbeQJ/1/376934294_Qchhd
Bill Pador > "End of August Sunset" While out for a walk in my neighborhood last night hunting for a POD I was striking out capturing anything worth while UNTIL I took a turn toward home and saw the sun setting at the end of the street above the ball park. So I headed towards the light and by the time I got there this is what greeted me. I really liked the small blazing orange hole silhouetting the trees and the light rays springing out along the horizon. Funny how this cloud formation was only on the horizon where the sun was setting because there wasn't another cloud in the whole sky elsewhere. I thought it fitting to end the month of August with a beautiful sunset image to get ready for Septembers fall colors. Hopefully the trees will present some interesting colors again this year since it's my favorite time of the year to shoot out door landscapes. Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday weekend, enjoy your labor day and all of your end of year BBQ's. Me, I'll be home alone looking for the next POD drinking a nice cup of coffee! ~Thanks for looking~ ~Bill~
Bill Pador > "In Through The Out Door" To start off my 6th month here at the Dailies community I felt like toying around with the David Hill processed look so I did a SP (another milestone) with me grabbing a soda out of the fridge and shot it from the INSIDE of the fridge to give it a little creativity. I laid some texture down on the canvas along with a ton of processing, vignette blur, drop shadow and well just a whole bunch of stuff LOL So this is what I look like when I'm reaching into the fridge from the milks view ;) The camera was laid inside the fridge with a small milk carton holding up the lens and set on a 5 sec. delay 1/125 with constant focusing at f/6.3 to ensure I had enough DOF. It's been a great 6 months here and I look forward to many more with all of you who have become my very good friends. I wish to Thank You all for your constant support and inspiration and for sharing all of your wonderful work with me as well. You all have helped drive my creativity to new levels everyday benefiting my art & mind. So Have a great day everyone & Thanks for all the warm comments on the Lily shots yesterday ! Your Dailies Friend ~Bill~
Bill Pador > It was so interesting & prosperous the last 24 hrs. for photographs for me it was hard to choose what was going up for the POD today. Funny how some days you have NOTHING & others turn out treasure troves. I got some many really good shots but after thinking about it I know everyone loves a good lightning shot so here it is. We had a fantastic storm late last night, the whole house shook & rattled for hours. Funny thing is I sat in my office all night never thinking of setting up the camera until late. This shot was accomplished by setting the D300 on INTERVAL TIMER shots, set shutter for 10 seconds exposure at f/14 ISO 400 and then set to pop every 11 seconds meaning the shutter was only closed for 1 second then opened for 10 again until 99 frames were shot (doing the math that's 1 capture every 11 seconds for 15 min. worth of work), manual focus to infinity. This was one of the better ones since the lightning crossed the whole sky and filled the frame nicely so here it is. *From what's in the news today one of the these strikes killed 1 person and injured 2 on Sandy Hook beach and 5 mor epeople struck in Hicksville NY just north of here so I better start being more careful with this stuff ;) I have a TON of great Squirrel shots and also some interesting ACTION shots while I was driving and snapping the shots off while moving LOL (Don't worry I was TRAINED to do these kinds of things while moving) and I'm very safe about it, always have at least one hand on the wheel using continuous focus and the steering wheel as a tripod. So I'll put those together later in my overflow gallery or the animal gallery to show off, some real quality shots (if I don't say so myself LOL) but i think you'll like them (Especially MOM4SQUIRRELS who gave me the inspiration for the images). BTW: For those of you who registered to vote for my images in the NJ Photo Contest (THANK YOU SO MUCH) and I wanted to tell you I submitted a few more images so if you have time to stop over and drop another couple votes I would be thrilled.

Bill Pador > For today's daily I'd like to introduce you to my 11 year old daughter Alexa, I tried to get my 15 yo girl to join us but she is not one for having her photo taken especially if it's going on the internet LOL so I stuck with one of my favorite & most cooperative models. Alexa has the most wonderful eye color that changes with her surroundings, most days their an awesome shade of blue, sometimes green and today a greenish/gray hue. This was shot in natural light coming from a single small window from the right and then in post I gave her a small dose of glamour treatment (skin softening & skin glow), eye & teeth whitening and removed several small facial blemishes (I guess from the fried food she had yesterday LOL). Also removed a slight amount of eye brow hair above her nose and that's about it. Alexa is also following in her dads foot steps and is quite the young photographer already. Her compositions are spot on and she has quite an eye for a great shot. I'm glad I have one kid that has a passion for photography, I made the mistake of getting my 15 year old a camera for Christmas last year and she promptly broke it soon afterwards because of lack of care that age tends to have. This year will be Alexa's turn, so I'm thinking about getting her a D60 or D80 if I can afford it, then we can share lenses and lower the overall cost of getting her into a nice gear kit. Thanks for looking and sharing one of the best gifts I've ever received, My Daughter ! ~Bill~ "I NEED YOUR VOTES FOR STATE RUN CONTEST" PS: If you would like to help me please click here GREAT DESTINATIONS NJ and register (it's Free) and only takes a few seconds, then perform a SEARCH using my name for People or Photos to search for my photos (you can use last or both names to perform the search).

I shot this dusk image just prior to the lone doe shot, just liked the sky colors and the way the composition came out with the clouds heading for all the proper places in frame and since I'm a few images behind on my dailies I'm filing in the gaps. Thanks for looking ;) ~Bill~

I needed to catch up on my missing dailies so I posted 2 additional images which can be seen here for comments:
