Bent out of shape!  by orangecrush

Bent out of shape!

Took the girls on a quick hike to the Old Mission Dam. While I was there I notice this lady taking pictures of bushes and rocks, getting down in the dirt! I was so tempted to ask her if she was a 365er but I just couldn't get myself to break her serious concentration! Now I know what some people must think of me while I'm squatting in the flowerbeds or laying on the sidewalk! :o)
beautiful composition, Fav

Love this Jerry, stunning in large. I know what you mean, I have become quite scruffy since I started this, when out and about I wear clothes I ma not too fussed about if I lay on the ground with!

Beautiful capture of the interesting landscape. People love it when others ask the questions. We are all too reticent. I'm trying to change that!
January 24th, 2013  
What an incredible capture. Beautiful in b&w. A fav.
January 24th, 2013

I wonder if it was Karen H, lol...she gets down & dirty! Lol
Great B&W Jerry...love the way the clouds are an extension of the branches!
January 24th, 2013  
Nice landscape!
January 24th, 2013

We all look a little strange at times when getting our shot, lol. Nice processing, this could have been taken close to my house :)
January 24th, 2013

Great choice on the B&W. beautiful shot.
January 24th, 2013  
I love how the clouds mimic the trees
January 24th, 2013  
Very nice. I think B&W makes it great!
January 24th, 2013  
I really like the B&W!! Such interesting lines.
January 24th, 2013  
love the conversion. beautiful!
January 24th, 2013  
For me this photo feels like its got a real sense of movement, even though nothings actually moving. I think its the lines of the trees or the swirl of the sky. Really beautiful Jerry.
January 24th, 2013  
Brilliant capture. Looks like dueling, cloud-wielding trees.
January 24th, 2013  
Love how you centered those amazing clouds between those trees. Even better in b&w.
January 24th, 2013  
Super shot. And so sharp!
January 24th, 2013  
An absolute FAV. I love the cloud formations, but ultimatley the trees did it for me. Love it!
January 24th, 2013  
fav............amazing B&W!

Amazing photo! Beautiful composition and it has another world feel! Fav
January 24th, 2013  
Great shot Jerry. I often get weird looks from our neighbours when Im wandering about he paddock getting shots of webs or weeds too. Im sure they think Im loco!
January 24th, 2013  
Wonderful B&W Jerry. Fave.
January 24th, 2013  
holy cow! that sky is wicked!
January 24th, 2013  
That sky is magnificent. It's only when you see someone else taking pics that you wonder if you look the same. I must say I've given up worrying what people think when I think I've seen the angle I want to shoot from!
January 24th, 2013  
Lovely B&W :)

I often wonder what people think when they see me kneeling in strange positions or lying on the ground :)
January 24th, 2013  
Great contrasts and zoning
January 24th, 2013  
This is awesome Jerry! Love the movement in the clouds and the black and white really brings out the contrasts! Fav!

January 24th, 2013  
STUNNING!
January 24th, 2013  
This is gorgeous, Jerry! I love the swirl of the clouds and it looks great in b&w. I had a similar experience yesterday. I saw a man at the beach with a camera and it was so frigid out that I thought he must be a 365-er because no one else would be crazy enough to brave the cold for a photo.
January 24th, 2013  
very nice!!
January 24th, 2013  
Nice black&white scene
January 24th, 2013  
WoW!!!! I'm loving this!!!! Gorgeous shot!
January 24th, 2013  
Dramatic
January 24th, 2013  
I saw someone today getting in a tangle trying to get a shot off a bridge and thought 365er
January 24th, 2013  
Fantastic shot !
January 24th, 2013  
How wonderful the clouds waited for you to get your camera in the right position. a fav!

This one "rocks!" Dynamic, Jerry.
January 25th, 2013  
Spectacular! Fav.
January 25th, 2013  
Stunning photo!
January 25th, 2013  
Such an interesting sky in b and w!
January 25th, 2013  
Love the contrast
January 25th, 2013  
This is such a wonderful image! The trees on either side of the lines from the clouds fits perfectly.
January 25th, 2013  
Ooooo, all threat and drama. Very very nice.
January 25th, 2013  
mysterious and fabulous! :)
January 25th, 2013  
This is brilliant in b&w!
January 25th, 2013  
ooooooo...fav! Your composition is so perfect! I love the way the clouds have the same angle as that tree on the left...beautiful!!
January 25th, 2013  
Splendid B&W!

Lovely composition and great monochrome conversion, I love the sky!

Such a wonderful photo in black and white!

Wonderful shot Jerry
January 26th, 2013  
I love this!
January 26th, 2013  
Wonderful shot - the wispy clouds set it off brilliantly. I often think we should have '365' pin badges for our camera straps or something to identify us! :)
January 26th, 2013  
@filsie65 great idea! Although sometimes I wouldn't want to be identified! >:o)
January 26th, 2013  
Looks stunning in monochrome.
January 26th, 2013  
The clouds and trees are a perfect match. Beautiful b&w.
January 26th, 2013  
Great looking landscape
January 26th, 2013  
Really like this shot Jerry, excellent!
January 26th, 2013  
Beautiful!
January 26th, 2013  
This is absolutely gorgeous :)
January 27th, 2013  
Has such a dramatic effect in B&W....but I'm still a fan of colour! and a fan of yours too!
January 27th, 2013  
wow, the trees look like they're parting for the clouds to pass. looks like nature in motion. so great!
January 27th, 2013  
Love how the trees are mirroring the sky ! I was in London the other week and saw someone in a strange position taking a photo of the entrance to a subway - I too was dying to ask him if he was a 365er !
January 27th, 2013  
B&W landscape work can be outstanding when the time has been taken to do it right. Starting in the field and composing the shot, selecting the right settings on the camera, making sure the focus is sharp, having a creative sense of how to use the light. These are things that can't be done in photoshop and are the base for creating fine art pieces. I appreciate the professional effort - this is a stunning example of fine art photography, well done!!
January 27th, 2013  
Oh my, love the drama you have captured. Perfect in b&w. Interesting how the cloud formation mirrors the gnarly trees. Love it.
January 27th, 2013  
Beautiful shot and scene. Nicely done.
January 28th, 2013  
Beautiful. Love the contrast.
January 28th, 2013  
Lovely shot, perfect in b&w

January 28th, 2013  
Beautiful shot! Love how the clouds are following the shape of the tree!
January 28th, 2013  
wow! Fave, Jerry!
January 28th, 2013  
Beautiful shot - Love the b&w!
January 28th, 2013  
Love the clouds mimicking the line of the trees...or is it the other way round ?! :)
January 28th, 2013  
I love the contrast between the different textures of the sky, trees and rocks. I must have a go at B&W, Don't think I'll be able to match this.
January 29th, 2013  
lol. :D I love this, the landscape really does look like it's been caught in a bit of time warp! Love it in black and white too, really brings out the contrasts in the sky and the landscape.
January 29th, 2013  
I like the wispy cloud
January 29th, 2013  
Fav for me Jerry
January 31st, 2013

Great b/w. Getting in the dirt paid off.
February 2nd, 2013  
Awesome B&W
February 2nd, 2013  
The sky looks like it was taken with infrared film and a red filter, I love the dramatic contrast between the dark sky and white clouds, the white rocks in front create nice contrast and depth also, man, you are good!
