Available

This was taken after spotting it off the side of the road, I pulled off at the nearest safe spot as the roads were coated in ice and snow at this point in time but I am pretty happy I did. There was something nice about this old sign that has been there long enough to completely loose all of its vital information other than the fact that the land is available. Maybe I could buy it and set up a little house in the middle and let it be over taken by all the kudzu vines. You can see the texture of falling snow if you look close. Oh, and yep its a desktop, see below for a link.

Winter Lake

I know these are a bit dark but thats just because the sun had already set and I really had to run around the lake to get to these spots before it was totally dark outside. This and it was snowing heavily at that point and the wind was freezing me. All in all it was an impromptu shoot as I was driving back home form a job site in crazy snowy/icy road rush hour traffic heh. In other words I didn’t have much time to think about the shots, I just sort of took them and hoped for the best. The poor 5D was totally covered in snow and water when I hopped back into the car but it has survived worse. So they did not come out totally horrible, just a bit soft because I was shooting at a wide aperture to compensate for the fact that I had no tripod in that dark weather but I decided to share them anyhow for those of you in the mood for a moody photo of a snowy lake.

Winter Light

The fiftyfootshadows version of christmas lights, aka. another random, short low quality video that I played with until something interesting happened. Not to much trickery though, just a clip I shot with my phone while driving down the street through a bunch of big balls of christmas lights. I was told that the music I chose was scary but it fell together well with the timing of everything so I’m going to stick with it heh, enjoy.

Summer Inside Winter

New desktop! It’s been a while right? Early this morning I woke up to go shoot a photo for the our window project and took a number of nice photos as the sun rose over a lake at a park nearby. In the photo that one bokeh circle there under the glow of the sun is the reflection of the sun on the lake, it was really beautiful out and I have quite a few more images I will turn into desktops from this little shooting venture so keep an eye out for more

India 120 help

Hello everyone, I wanted to take a moment here to ask for a little help with my photo processing. I try not to ask for anything around here but I am really starting to wonder what is to be found on my medium format rolls from India that I took on my Hasselblad but I simply dont have the money to get them developed! All I need is around $40-50USD to get them all developed and so I thought I would make a request for a couple of dollars from readers to see if I can get them done. With the holidays and bills and the trip I just don’t have enough left around to get them developed.

If anyone cares to help me out with the entire $50 for the cause I will happily also let you pick any of the images from the rolls and I will order a 12×12 print of any image from the rolls. I plan on scanning them in and I will make a special gallery for you to pick one from where you can see all the good shots from the rolls before anyone else

Any help though would be fantastic and hugely appreciated. If anyone would like to have something in return for helping out I’m sure I can work out an 8×12 of any desktop image for anyone who gives $25. I will be making print sales a more permanent addition to fiftyfootshadows.net but it will most likely cost a bit more than that when it does happen so it may be a good time to buy a print of your favorite desktop. As with my other print sale there are a handful of desktops that I can not print for various reasons but I will work with you to make sure you’re happy!

Also, the prints will most likely not get to you until after the holidays… sorry about that! Just a symptom of the process.

Really at the moment I am honestly just trying to raise a few dollars for the photos and if you can not afford a print or whatnot even just $5 would go a long way I think. Like buying me a cup of coffee hehe… I will hold up this offer until I manage to get them developed. Hopefully sooner than later.

Just send me a mail if your interested in a $25 print or the $50 india120 print at john(at)fiftyfootshadows.net otherwise you can use this handy donate link below for little bite size help.

Thanks for reading and for the ongoing support of my project here on fiftyfootshadows.net. As the new year kicks in I have plans to touch things up around here and begin posting a good bit more often. Otherwise, I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and I will talk to you again soon!
