Taken with a G5 + Skylight 1A filter. Converted to B&W with GIMPs Channel Mixer and some dodge and burn to finish.

Perhaps the material isn't too great to begin with, but I just can't seem to be happy with it....

By the way, those ripples in a cloud that look like a thumbprint are not processing marks - they were real and like a rainbow.

Just got home from a great night out, I got a last-minute photo pass to shoot Dead Can Dance on the last night of their tour, because my company is releasing the concert recording and we needed a good black and white photo for the album sleeve. I borrowed my friend's Rebel XT but only had a couple minutes before the show to get used to it, so luckily I took my G6 as backup because I fear the XT photos are going to be pretty bad (haven't looked at them yet). I'm too tired to look through them too carefully, I'll probably regret posting this one after i sort through them, but here's one from the G6 anyway:

I had no right to be there, the other photographers all had $5000 lenses and actual experience, and i was there with my mini-tripod and G6, trying desperately to keep my flash from accidentally going off, but at least i got some useable photos.

Took this on the beach down past this major street in the area with a G3. I just used the color mixer in photoshop and resized.

"Beach Faces" this was a piece of art work someone random made out of a wire and tied it to a sign near La Jolla Cove.... I was really taken by this selfless display of art sharing. G6
