Bo_Lorentzen Posted May 25, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Photographers will pose themseves in some really strange ways to get a picture. When sorting and posting images from Saturdays run to Death Valley, I noticed the grap shots of my friend Bill. M8 with CV 15mm 4.5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo_Lorentzen Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted May 25, 2009 A few shots from the above selected positions.... Bill and I took the day for a Death Valley run Saturday morning. He was shooting film and I was shooting the M8, along for the ride was my new 15/4.5 Aspherical Super-Wide Heliar from Camera Quest. I had coded it as a 21mm to avoid the menu for the wate. but one of the images with a completely even tone make me question that choice a little. Interestingly, on the way home departing scottys castle, we chose to go north and left around the top of the Death Valley and got to enjoy this fantastic scenic route home. arrival at home around 1am. Naturally the trip included a few more lenses, particularly the 75 and 35 did see a good deal of action, the 28 was kind of ignored because every time I wanted wide the 15 got pulled out. The lens have a UV/IR filter and camera was set to on and recognize. This was really a very enjoyable lens to shoot with and I found that it probably was involved in close to half of the pictures from the day.

Marquinius Posted May 25, 2009 Share #3 Posted May 25, 2009 Bo, Both series appeal to me, one for the way you depict your friend and the other for what you saw of Death Valley yourself. What a place! Not easy, with the harsh light! I wonder what it looks like at dawn or dusk. Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted May 26, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 26, 2009 Bo, Great pictures all. Perfect lighting,clarity and color. This reminds me of a trip My wife and I made through Death Valley some twenty years ago, only we did it in early August. Bad mistake!!! It was so hot we didn't even stop to get many pictures. I was more worried about our car overheating. Nevertheless, it was an unforgetable adventure. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonkirk Posted May 26, 2009 Share #5 Posted May 26, 2009 You've proved your point very well: the successful pictures show that dignity has no place in photography. Kirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted May 26, 2009 Marco, thank you sir, the second set of images was from the viewpoints depicted in the first set. Paul, Death Valley in late summer is pretty hot, however I have had good fun bringing guests even then, the heat simply is a experience in its own right. Kirk, thank you sir. .

soleforeal Posted May 26, 2009 Share #7 Posted May 26, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great series. I enjoyed how the photographer is shown shooting and the beautiful results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted May 26, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Bo, interesting series. The light is as sharp as a knife. I like very much the pattern of the dried up mud (some cyan drift in it?) and those rusty pipes crawling in the sunlit desolation. Strong pictures.

Rolo Posted May 26, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 26, 2009 Bo, nice set of images. Particularly like the under pipe shot an suspect it would yield a great B&W shot. Rolo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
