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!

Now we wonder how the photographer came to this spot, without leaving one trace in the snow. VERY cool image Eric.

WOW! How deliciously bleak! I'm in an odd "cinematic" mood and for some reason I can imagine a character finding this pier while going through the rigors of suicidal tendencies. I think the mood of this piece lends itself to that particular scene, though on its own, this pier could support dozens of stories of various moods, and that's what I really like about this picture. It's also incredibly crisp and clean. Wonderful work!

Love the perspective and the fog. I'm glad for your title, because I probably would have missed those little caps while I was visually running around looking at everything else! Zoom is great ... the falling snow shows up nicely.
