The Bamboo Forest and some great Twitter Lists to follow

Today’s daily photo was taken while exploring the wilds outside of Kyoto a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful place! The walk took me into this giant bamboo forest. After strolling through it for a short eternity, I set up for shot. This is a standard 5-exposure HDR; it was shot with a 14-24mm lens. For those of you new to the site, you can find out more about my process in the HDR Tutorial.

Some Twitter Lists for You!

As you guys know, I’ve been using Twitter for the past 27 years or so. Over that time, I’ve built up a good list of people to follow. Now, I can share this list and more very easily with you. When you visit the links below, you can “Follow” the list. Or, you can also go through and follow the individuals. Any questions? Just ask below!

Do the good people on here a favor.  Follow the list, and then go through and follow some of the most interesting individuals inside.  Twitter is better once you build your own personalized list, and this will be a really good injection of inspiration into your world, I hope!

After you follow the lists and some people therein…

Then you can then easily switch to that “channel” in Twitter to see the latest. Also, very soon you’ll be able to add that List as a Column in Tweetdeck, a program I highly recommend. As soon as they enable this, I’ll come update this post!

And, of course, be sure to tell your friends the fun of lists, especially those new to Twitter.  If people start out by getting good links with nice art and funny comments, it makes it a much better experience from the beginning!

    I’ve got to say, this one is one of my favorites I’ve seen! I love the transition of color from the bottom up and the very smooth greens. Awesome photo!

    I am looking for a dslr and I was wondering if you have had any experience with the d80.Is the thumb pad annoying? Thanks in advance, John.

    Wonderful spot to wander in, Trey!! Great picture. Wow, I didn’t know twitter has been around that long. I didn’t join twitter as I have enough in my life going on already, lol. Have fun, those who do. Thanks for sharing!!! Have a great day!

    HI! I’ve just came across your blog and I’m absolutely delighted!
    Already in my fav’s bar for a daily look up…
    Thank you for your great work!
    Keep going… :-)

    Congrats from Ge in Lisbon, Portugal

    Thanks!

    Mark – yes it is one of my favorites too. I even put it on my own desktop !! :) hehe

    John – I have not used the D80 I am afraid. I do have a “Digitial SLR Recommendations” area there on the right, though

    Gail – hehe – I understand… maybe some day! Actually, many people get on Twitter because it can “reduce” clutter by having you only follow a few things rather than a million! :)

    Ge – Thanks… I’d love to come to Portugal some day!

    Really nice work on that shot. Love the angle and the processing.

    I love this photo. The green light and the spots of sun coming through the tree roof is wonderful. The wide angle view sucks me into the photo. One of my favorites in this blog. (The image partly reminds me about the Flying Dagger movie.) Cheers, Albert

    Beautiful shot Trey. I very much appreciate the aftermath work, esp the sunlight shining is brought out exceptionally well without spoiling the shot but it rather adds beauty to the shot.

    @Trey:
    Thanks anyway.

    Excellent! Another example of why I started liking HDR again (didn’t care for the overdone stuff I had been seeing when initially introduced to HDR and had written it off).

    You can really imagine getting lost and submersed in the beauty and tranquility of this place, I think little other photographic techniques would do this scene justice, really where HDR runs ahead.

    Those Twitter lists are really rather good, I quite like the right-side of the brain list; good for looking at other artists and creatives works and experiments.

    Thanks!

    Jack – glad you like those lists — If you find some, please give some recommendations too! :)

    Trey,

    Does your HDR book give the camera settings and lens for the images shown?

    If it does it would be a nice reference for those like me that are newbies in photography to understand the fundamentals of lighting and such. If it did I’m buying it.
