Bill Pador > Fall / Autumn Colors 2008 photo
Bill Pador > "The Road to Color" 10/16/08 While Driving today I got stuck behind a SLOW POKE on the only single lane road leading out of town and was getting frustrated so I jumped off onto this small fire road and was shocked by the colors in this tunnel like ride. it was raining pretty good all day today so there was no sun and nasty puddles everywhere but I was able to snap this by opening my sun roof and sticking the D300 out on constant focus and shot it while doing about 10 mph. I was amazed by the composition I was able to get since I was in the center of the road and being above the car it gave me some extra height then the usual eye view, I think it worked out pretty well LOL. In post I did a minor contrast adjustment and small crop off the bottom, that's it! I'm enjoying the colors here now but I see them disappearing very rapidly so I'm going to try and get some shots everyday now until their gone. It's supposed to get very cold here starting tonight in the 50's as a high during the day and low 40's to high 30's at night Brrrrrrrrrr. I got some other shots from today to process yet but I will be putting them in my Fall Colors 2008 gallery when there finished. Hope you all enjoy your day, Bill Pador
Bill Pador > "Happy Mistake" "seeing it bigger is better" I felt it was about time I looked to do an abstract piece since it's some of my favorite things to photograph for fun and I haven't done one in a while. So when I left the house before I started thinking of what I'd like to do and as I drove down this one lane road (all 9 miles of it) to the main highway I started cranking off some frames at the road side, lakes etc. as I passed them using a slow shutter speed after choosing an aperture that would allow me enough light but slow everything down to blur the road side out. Well this one turned out to be a HAPPY MISTAKE and was not planned at all. I was just testing my settings as I drove about 45mph and using my right hand I laid the camera across my left forearm out the window and got this one. I didn't even see what I had until I returned home a short while ago and started looking on the monitor at my results LOL. I really liked the lines in the road, guard rail and tree blur but then to have the image in the mirror be so in focus and having the road curve off into the blurred road like that really gave me a smile, with the telephone pole and bright sky right in the middle of the trees up top between the shadowed trees, now that's a abstract mistake I'll take any day ;) This is straight out of the camera except the file size was downsized a bit, I tried a few things in post, even some frames but everything I did seemed to screw it up one way or another so I just left it alone. Hell I liked it so here it is but I was torn between this one and my ALTERNATE HERE in my over flow gallery, which was a car passing by a short time after this one was shot and reminded me of that car from that scary Car Movie "CARRIE" from the Early 80's (OK so I'm dating myself LOL) what do you other MID AGED folks think? Does it remind you of CARRIE too ??? CORRECTION: Thank You LESLIE for pointing out that the car movie was was "CHRISTINE" and not Carrie !! That's definitely the one I was thinking of ;) Ma-halo ~Bill~ "ATTENTION NIKON D300 OWNERS" ! ! !

Bill Pador > While driving around my neighborhood for my POTD today I stopped at one of my favorite local photo holes - The STUD FARM! So while walking from one side of the field around the barn I saw this scene and figured it would make a nice capture with the hilly road fading off into the distance and really banging out some big time bokeh with a large f/stop. Well I was right LOL I have some nice horse shots which I will post 1 or 2 when I go through them in a little bit.
Bill Pador > This 300+ lb. Black Bear was photographed walking along Weldon Rd. in Jefferson NJ June 5, 2008. He was well behaved and not aggressive at all. I believe he was waiting for his chance to cross the road but once I spotted him and started to photograph several cars pulled over to watch this beautiful animal in it's nature state, after approx. 15 min. I guess he got tired of watching US and strolled off into the woods looking for some dinner. It was a very exciting experience for me as I had never been this close (approx. 30') to such a large bear before. Just a wonderful adrenaline rush was had by all. . . 'Bill'
