John Williams - Belleville, IL

...sorry this post does not have any Eagles, but it does have some of my pieces from an outing last year. The day ended up being way to foggy to do much of anything dealing with the Eagles, however I did get some great shots.

The first one is just the river bank and lots of fog.....




This second image, well this shot or should I say shots (14 of them in all) is a lot more complicated.




(shot with Canon 350D - SigmaXQ 135mm f/2.8 MF lens)

The above shot is the small version, you can see the larger image here - Full Size - as I said in the description this is 14 separate images, all hand stitched together in Photoshop and then sent to the printers.

The print it's self is 8 foot long, yes 8 full feet and that is the small size at 6 inches tall. If I go to the full 12 inch print, you would be looking at a 16 foot long print, trying to get this 8 foot version mounted and framed is hard enough, as well as way too expensive at the moment, I could not imagine where I would even hang the 16 foot one.

I could not resist attempting this image, the fog was so unreal and having this island sticking out in the middle of the river like this was something I wanted to capture. Since this image is as much about the weather of the day as it is the landscape, this one goes under the Weather category.

As always....Enjoy!

(forgive me if I posted this one before)
