Lo there icrontians!

I regularly eat post-midnight breakfast with this guy from work who talks about Icrontic all the time, and after hearing about it for awhile I decided to join. I joined to read/post about gaming, but holy crap there's photo geeks here! sa-weeeet!

So here's the obligatory greeting message. I'm Josh. How-ya-doin'. I used to take pictures. I haven't clicked my shutter for anything outside of an eBay auction in over a year, it's time to fix that. Maybe here there will be inspiration and competitive motivation to get to work...

I really like selective color shots:

I'm also a Squirrel-Whisperer:

My latest kick before I went into hibernation was exposure tricks that are intended to make the viewer wonder how I got the shot without photoshop:

I've been digging out my gear and getting other nonphoto projects out of the way to free up some tabletop space. All I need now is a good idea...

...sigh.

    I'm no photographer (lol point and shoot), but I know outstanding and technical shots when I see them. Excellent work, and welcome to Icrontic. :)

    The squirrel shot was fun :D I'm about 8 inches away from the little booger taking that shot. I actually communicated with it. It was digging in the snow for food, but the top surface of the snow was kinda frozen so it was hard. I'd poke a hole in the snow, he'd shoot right to it and check for food. I was waiting for him to bust out into a Disney song about looking for food or something.

    Welcome, Josh! Love that third shot a lot. Welcome to the photography forum - I'm really looking forward to your work. Gotta push myself back into it as well, actually.
