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.

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
Well looks like the time has come, I will be in India until December 3rd traveling by train all over the place. Who knows what will come of this trip but I am most certainly excited about it. I want to thank everyone who supported me with print orders and those who did not get in on time we will work it out when I return. I may stop by here to say hello if I find some wi-fi for my iPhone which is the only technology I will have with me. So Needless to say there wont be much happening here over the next three weeks but I will return with a bunch of new photos to share I hope.
Wishing everyone all the best, thanks again for reading, I’m not sure if I could ever say that enough. See you again in a few weeks! -J
Fall
Its been a while since I made some shots like these and while I know we are all in the tail end of fall I figured its never too late for a few golden leaf shots. I will be leaving for a few weeks soon so this is probably the last new desktops for a little while so I picked a bunch of them to share because who doesn’t like a bit of variety or choice right? Hopefully everyone finds something to enjoy among these and hopefully everyone reading is having a nice fall. Although Ive been sick these past few days I for one really welcome the cool of the fall and Im looking forward to the changes that it brings.
To download all of these in one big zip file pack simply CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE to download them all in one click. The reason I use a zip, for those of you who wonder, is simply to avoid people hot linking which happened a lot when I would simply link to the jpg’s. This and it allows me to attach my terms of use to each desktop downloaded so its clear that these are for personal use only. Thanks and enjoy!
PRINTS
UPDATE #2: Thanks for everyone that participated! I am not able to take any more print orders as I travel. Those of you who missed the chance I think I will open up the floor again in December for prints so check back then for more!
UPDATE: all the auction prints below are now being sold on a first come first serve basis, see this post for more info.
Well, the time has come, I have chosen five film images to offer as prints for this sale to raise money for living expenses on my trip to india. They are being offered as the first edition of them being available to anyone in print form and many of you who follow the site know that the opportunity does not come up too often.
The images below will be printed as 8×12 prints, a size that will maintain the original aspect ratio of the 35mm negatives. While I considered a larger size I feel this is a good size for a 35mm print not too small but not so big that the small negative starts to show its limits. They will be printed at a trusted high quality local print shop on glossy paper because, personally, I feel glossy prints work best with color images nicer color, contrast and sharpness. I can provide further info on that if you would like to know. Keep in mind that the printed images may vary slightly in color, saturation, and contrast as not all computer screens will present these the same.
For the pricing, I have decided to put these up for sale for one week as an auction hosted myself here on the site. I will start the biding for each print at $35 USD and each day I will post the current price it is going for and on the last day there will be no crazy last minute bidding war like on ebay, I will simply take the highest offer.
Please submit your bids to john(at)fiftyfootshadows.net (bidding will be in USD)
The Auction will end on Sunday November 1st at midnight (Eastern US time) and I will send the high bidder for each image a Paypal mail asking for the amount of the ending price. Shipping will be included if it is within the U.S. but if is outside of the U.S. I will add $5 for shipping via airmail. I will ship them on Wed Nov 4th.
In addition to this I will also make available any desktop image here on fiftyfootshadows as either an 8×12 for $25 during this week only. I will collect orders for them and ship them on Wed Nov 4th as well. I will let you know if for some reason I don’t have an image available as a print from the desktop selection for various reasons and this excludes the desktops made from film images.
Thanks so much for your support everyone! Every little bit counts right now and I am happy to finally offer a few photos as prints to readers and I hope you guys enjoy the opportunity. All the best and I will keep you updated here on this post as the week moves forward.

Blue Ridge
Shot this off the side of the road outside of a car window on the way home from a job. I just missed the peak moment to take a photo there it seems so its pretty dark and a little noisy so I softened it up a good bit, as you can see. It has been so long since I posted some kind of nice landscape type nature shot for a desktop that I thought I would toss this one up for those of you in need.

Wooden Walls
I was out for a bike ride today and took a break next to a lake and on the edge of the lake was this old shed with these beautiful wooden walls and I immediately knew they would make for a really nice textured desktop image and luckily I had my camera bag on so I pulled out the 5D and here we go, something to share with everyone.
