Here's some photos

As promised, here are some photos and some tips on achieving some of the effects.

As most of you know I still have issues regarding digital photography. Like everything it has its good and bad points. I like being able to see an image instantly and checking out my mistakes. I can discard it or work on it in some photoshop program. I like doing things that makes it my own. You'll get a glimpse of that in a few images I'm displaying here. I like the idea of being able to take the same image in color and doing the same thing in black and white or vice versa. Of course with the right photoshop program you can do this also, but sometimes it isn't always exact. 1) in color a man chillin' on the beach in Kona 2) the same image in black and white 3) This is one of the techniques I've created. It sort of gives that fish eye effect that you can get with a lens on most SLR cameras. While walking with the camera, I aim at my subjects, but never stopping. This way they have no idea I'm taking their picture. The result is the natural look of the subjects and the curvature of the images in the picture. It works incredibly well with the black and white mode. 4) The pirate outside of the bar Durty Jakes in Kona 5) Once again I use the technique in black and white while driving, everything appears to be on an angle. 6) and again, but I like the way the clouds appear in the background. 7) When I'm around no one has any privacy. If you look closely you can see me in this picture. It's another thing I like to do with all of my pictures. Sort of like Alfred Hitchcock, appearing in his films. 8) These hula dancers are sculptures at the Kona International Airport.  Thanks for stopping by, more photos to come and more images of that same technique.
