Pictures at an Exhibition - the photography thread

Nice ones by the way, Jesse - I'm looking forward to doing some snapping this summer 


Just took this one as I was getting some tea - using my new toys, of course.

Wonderful pictures people. I am particularly interested in the ones of the countries that aren't America. I guess I've gained an obsession over the past few months of the world beyond my sheltered life where I was raised. Even though you can see similar scenes in this country, just knowing it's from a place further away adds to the mystery.

In the southern part of Minas Gerais, a Brasilian state, we found these landscapes trimmed by an empty paved road.

Maui sunset on honeymoon, 2002.

And some original artwork:

I did the cloud painting as a teen, inspired by sunrises I had seen on the morning bus rides into school, and of course the artwork of Roger Dean. .
The second one is an ink on board I made from a Polaroid photograph that was photocopied onto a transparency, projected overhead on the board, traced off, and finished off by hand with ink and some airbrushed ink.

What could be better than pictures of pictures that aren't really pictures?

I now return you to your normal pictures at an exhibition thread.

But wait, before I do, which version is your favorite?

The original Mussorgsky piano?
The orchestrated?
ELPs first version?
ELP's live version?

All your answers must be phrased in the form of a photograph.

I stand corrected and should know better as I have the Manticore box set version and the original version which was indeed live.  The live version I was referring to was the 1979 Emerson, Lake and Palmer In Concert condensed version with an orchestra.

Here's an experiment in lighting and HDR effects, anyone want a particularly proggy picture!?

What he said!  A nice frame is a nice frame, no matter the equipment

Hahahahaha, you have Aqua Globes in Canada! I guess it makes sense though, since as far as I know it's the only As Seen On TV item that actually works.

Another simple one of mine I like a lot:



Always reminds me slightly of Tangerine Dream's 'Ricochet' album cover
