Yes it is I, ebsmooth, undercover of course... I scrapped the old gallery due to inconsistencies in quality and format. I wanted a more presentable, professional looking gallery. I submit the EricSBauer gallery for your viewing pleasure. BIOWith my camera I bring to you the gritty and sometimes dark side of life, the everyday things that are often overlooked. My mission is to find echoes of the past and give them a voice in the now, to find the beauty in all things "ugly".
Tools used:
Nikon D70 18-70mm
Nikon Capture 4: all I use this for is the handling of the RAW files. It can be done in
Photoshop CS but there is more options in Capture. This step consists of exposure comp and white balance adjustments where needed.
Photoshop CS: all files are converted to Lab Color to unsharp mask the light channel then its back to RGB for conversion to black and white. For this step I choose a channel mixer adjustment layer for the simple fact that I can make changes to the .PSD file if needed or if I wish to see the image in color. After all that I add a border, nothing fancy or elaborate, just a simple white border to emulate what the prints will look like.
The above steps are the same for every image I do post work on. The settings I use vary from photo to photo and always to suit my personal taste.
Prints of all my work are available for sale. If interested just drop me a line and arangements can be made.
And that's my story, what my photos and I are all about.
Thank you for your visit, it's very much appreciated!

Owww...thought a freak arctic storm. Very good that you can take a scene like this and make it into something so artistic.

Ah Eric, now this is magnificent; and I can use it desperately as well - we had a cool snap here today, it was only 114 degrees F - Absolutely superb! V

EB- I can see why this is one of your favorites... VERY well done! Youve captured every tonal range there is in this shot. And yes- with all this griping about the heat here... it is kind of refreshing to see a cold scene. But it's also sad to know that this weather is only a couple/few months away (for us here in Cleveland at least!)

...Pottersville gone wrong ( It's a Wonderful Life ) ----- actually - what ever work you did on this photo --the result is quite nice -- great sense of space -- and that bridge ( from center to right ) is really pleasing to the eye.

I remember this beauty...it's one of the first ones that hooked my on your gallery. So much detail in this image, I find my eyes trying to see every little thing. So it's hot there eh? 76 and tradewinds blowing here...might be a good time for a small vacation bud~ Course in the winter time, I would be a dead man there...Aloha~

I don't remember the original, but this one just sings! Hard to believe it was taken at night the detail and tones are so clean and good. One of my faves too!
