post alternative techniques

Hi.
I'm a beginner to alternative photographic techniques. I've been amazed at some of the images I've been seeing in this thread.

Here is my first somewhat successful VDB.

Here is my first somewhat successful VDB.

Congrats on that Lake Harriet Pavilion shot - very old timey. I've been shooting over there at night recently, but bailed out on taking my 8x10. Too much snow right now.

Thanks Robert.
I really enjoy shooting there, never done so at night - I bet it's nice.

I just put this image in the tree thread, but want to show it here also.

Vaughn, awesome prints! Man I have to get back up there. There is so much depth in these images even on my screen. This is the type of imagery that got me hooked on carbon. Thanks for posting these. Now back to making tissue!

Thanks, Jim. We'll have to connect one of these days and look at each other's prints.

Thanks, Jim. We'll have to connect one of these days and look at each other's prints.

Vaughn, I'd love to get together and catch up. I need to see my son in San Francisco one of these days. It would be a good reason to drive a bit farther north to come and see you. Problem is I'd not want to leave!
