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!

Ahhh, one of my favorites from you...mistake or not this one is killer...some of my best stuff was by accident, maybe thats the secret. Excellent capture here, I love the motion in this one! Great job! Aloha!

Dude! This is just brilliant! I like how you have everything just right in the still part- but have capured that movement of the train going through (gives a great illusion of speed). I bow to you oh Yoda of nighttime B&W images!!!

This is definately one of your best images, everything is just right! I love the pov - looking down the steps - adds real depth. Superb shot, well done! :))

I think i saw it before too. An excellent one indeed. Love the light as always especially.

I think that the fact that the train stopped was a big bonus, you have got the light trails giving an illusion of speed yet still retain some of the markings on the carriages. Lovely viewpoint. Excellent!!

Awesome capture here. As much as I love trains and photography, I"ve never attempted to capture a shot like this. You've inspired me to give it a shot. Great work.
