Only available in Southern California: "Dial-A-Healing"! Hey isn't that God's providence?? A little Velvia look applied via Nik Color Efx Pro. Hey, now it's Healing in Living Color!!

Those colors are amazing, indeed! I love those two lines of the car (is it a paramedic?) and sidewalk crossing.

hmm, i find the colours abit too bright & stark but perhaps it works for this photo - being an emergency that suppose to scream out =)

nice lines and almost graphic quality

interesting subject. you should send this to Audi!

very nice!

la classe pour le sujet et ce traitement en valeur de gris

beautiful picture, worthy of a new generation car advert. congratulations for controlling the light and shadows so very well.

Excellent treatment - love the grain.

Best,

This is a very interesting composition, but I'm not sure if it gives me the feeling of how spectacular and huge the mountain must be in real life.

Death Valley area, circa 1979, Ektachrome scanned.

Another scan from the late 70's.

Clyde,

Lovely feel and work on this shot. The spacing of the gulls is great as is the exposure. Clyde, I was wondering if I might email you re: an interview I have on Monday with our local community college. My email is jon@jvgphoto.com

Thanks,
Jon

The tones that you have captured here are wonderful, Clyde. I agree with Jon that the gulls add greatly to the interest, and I love the dark water and shapes in the foreground. Go the 70's!

Dave Marcis crashing in a NASCAR race in 1975. I know it's soft, but brings back lot's of memories for me.

Very dynamic, and abstract! But I don't have a clue about what I see here, and that's what I don't like ;)

The colour and simplicity of the composition work very, very well with this image, as do the small areas of sharp focus and other places out of focus. I don't need to know what it is (although I am curious) to enjoy.

I shot this a few days ago outside my front door. These are the “threads” of a Washingtonia filifera (filifera - Latin “thread-bearing”, also known as California Fan Palm). I shot this with my Nikon D7s and a Nikon 60mm Micro f2.8. This reminds me of the LA freeway interchanges or maybe a free map.

Interesting and yes, dynamic is a good word to use. Nice dof.

I like this, too. I don't mind that I can't figure out what it is. Looks like a MAC desktop picture....

Colour - great. DoF - great. Composition - great. Exposure - great. Subject - great. So what do I think of this image - great! Well done, Clyde, I wouldn't change a thing.

It almost looks alive! Great lighting and dof.

Interesting capture

Great I love the color and the composition of this one.

Nice frame and great work with shadows

@Misu, thanks for you comments. There is no "noise" in this image. This is a scan of an Ektachrome slide, so what your are seeing is film "grain".

Clyde,

Great shot - a little bit too static - but that's what you get for shooting radio towers!

Best,
Jon

Ahh Jon the punster!!

NIce, but you don't have any from farther up the coast at Point Montara, do you? It could be a series!

No, I don't think so. Back in the day the only place I ever got to above San Fran was McKinleyville just above Eureka, if I remember right. Haven't found any from that trip even.

Shot a the right moment... perfect!.

There is something strange about the depth in this image. If I look only to one of the big black rocks, it seems they have to be much further away then I look to the whole scene. Did you use a super wide angle lens or something? Anyway, it gives it a magical touch and I keep looking at it.

In the day photography was quite simple: Minolta SRT-101 with a 55mm f1.7 lens and a couple of rolls of film. You could use that camera to chock the wheels of your pickup truck to keep it from rolling down hill and then go out and shoot this...

Clyde, you have captured a very dramatic moment here. I like the way that you have balanced exposure with shutter speed to freeze the wave and not lose the interest in the sky. For mine, the rock in the left is a little darker than you might ideally want, but this is a difficult lighting situation in which you have found a fantastic compromise.

I love the power of this image. That massive wave crashing on that towering rock is just so intimidating. I also like the noise from the film grain that's absent from most photo you see today. I agree with sfkp, you nailed the decisive moment.....

Clyde,

Very nice shot - I so miss the days of film. Thanks for posting.

Cheers,
Jon
