Submission 2014

by Nik Sekhar

I wanted to dedicate my submission this year to David Lee, who was a great master of medium format 3d and who I was lucky enough to meet.  His work has been an inspiration to me.

  1. Busan Igidae park, this was a beautiful park, this picture was taken on a windy day with the waves crashing in the foreground, and the Busan skyline, and bridge in the background. This was shot with the tl120 at f/11 1/250.
  2. Gyeogju, this is a hyperstereo with 50 foot separation Fuji gf670w fuji velvia.
  3. San Francisco. I took this picture in San Francisco, please excuse, the ship motion artifacts between the two shots. Fuji gf670w 60 foot separation.  David Lee met me and drove me up to the viewpoint for this shot.
  4. Gyeongju temple:  This is a wooden bell in the temple on one of the excursions of ISU Korea 2015.

Thank you for allowing me to share my work.  I have enjoyed yours on this round

Do Not Talk To Prisoners Through Bars!

by dorothy mladenka

burnet-barsaTaken in Burnet, Texas in 2014. This historic jail was built in 1884 of hand-hewn rock. It has an apartment for the sheriff who is also the jailer. On the second floor the county library was founded. The former jail is still being used by one of the county departments. The city of Burnet is nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country surrounded by rolling hills, lakes, beautiful geologic formations and historical sites. The historic square features buildings from as early as the 1880’s and offers a variety of unique shops and eateries. Drive in or take the Hill Country Flyer Historic Train (which is what we did) from Cedar Park, located on the edge of Austin. Watch the Burnet Gunfighter’s fight it out at the Old West Town on Saturday and Sunday. Taken with the TL120, available light handheld.

 

 

Reflections on Lake Chapala, Mexico

by dorothy mladenka

folio-2Lake Chapala is Mexico’s largest fresh water lake. It is located 45 km southeast of Guadalajara, Jalisco, and is situated on the border between the states of Jalisco and Michoacán, at 1,524 metres (5000 feet) above sea level. It is a shallow lake, with a mean depth of 4.5 metres (14.9 feet) and a maximum of 10.5 (34 feet). The lake is also a critical habitat for several species of migratory birds, such as the American white pelican, and home to thousands of indigenous plants and animals. It is also home to a large contingent of expats from Canada and the United States. It is a gorgeous place and I can see why people retire here.

New Mexico Moods

Kitch Gitten Place

This Sante Fe shop keeper agreed to have this environmental portrait done in the doorway. The Open shade made Velvia the choice – interior light balanced well by luck.

Crown Jewels

I like shooting store windows – reflections vs. transluscence. Thi one is more about the stuff, the sunflowers, and signage.

Abandoned Adobe

Velvia worked wll for this lighting scenario – side sun. I love how it saturates the colors.

One Man’s Junk

I was absolutely awestruck when I came upon this scene. The picket fence, the metal barn, the broken glass, even the wires in the sky… and wow, what a sky.

 

Abandoned House, Mussoorie India

by Jim Harp

Scan000110This was the view from the Plaza hotel in Mussoorie India.   It must have been a gorgeous residence at some point.  You can see that someone is living there, or at least hanging some laundry up to dry.   Mussoorie is in Northern India at the foothills of the Himilayas.

Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop.   I used a pod-support on a deck railing.   I think it was 1/125 @f16.

“Mermaid Parade – Twin Pillows”

by Jim Harp

Scan000111Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop with a Vivitar 285H with a diffusor for fill-flash.  I believe it was f16 @ 1/125.   The TL-120 seems to do fine with flash sync at 1/125 even though 3D World only claimed 1/30.

It was bright sunny day for the 2014 Mermaid Parade, fill-flash saved lots of my shots from excessive shadow detail.

For me fill-flash is like that commercial for hot-sauce:   “I put that $#*& on everything!”

Taj Mahal Close

by Jim Harp

Scan000109The Taj Mahal is often seen just in the classic full view, but there’s quite a lot to look at when you get closer in.   MF3D is really the only medium that can convey the richness of all the marble inlays and carving.

This was photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop.  I believe it was 1/250 @f16.  No tripods are allowed at the Taj unless major fees are paid, so this was shot with the camera hanging around my neck using a Hasselblad waist level finder and a cable release.   October 2010.

The TL-120 attracted a lot of attention in India, at times I was mobbed with people wondering what it was.
