Thanks, everyone. I haven't been posting many photos mostly for the simple reason that I haven't had any worth posting lately, and also because I've been fooling around a lot with non-Pentax film cameras.
I've been fooling around with the
camera on a stick thing a pretty good bit because I want to give it a try during our local festival this coming August. It should at least make shooting the thing interesting and maybe give me a few photos that don't look like every other Japanese festival photo.
The second shot was taken in inch-worm traffic on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway late one rainy afternoon. I just pointed the camera out the window in the general direction of the factory and fired off a few shots, hoping to get something I could work with. It benefitted a lot from post-processing, which included a color faux duotone using light grey and dark grey masks in grain merge mode. Curves, light USM, cropping, and bump mapping finished it off.
The third photo is from inside the Hanjin Shipping Lines container yard in Tokyo and was taken on a night with pretty heavy rainfall. What appears to be the setting sun is in actuality the strong sodium lights that illuminate the yard for night work. I didn't "correct" the WB since the color rendition is pretty accurate to what the place looks like under those lights and I really liked the way it worked on the wet asphalt.
Here is another shot taken a few minutes before of the ship
Hanjin Helsinki which was undergoing loading and unloading operations. The rainfall can be seen in the ship's spotlights. This one had the WB corrected:
Pentax K100D / DA70/2.4 Limited
