Bruce Lukaszewicz (BELphotos) > This is Elmo the Magnificent. I made this photo on slide film in 1981 at a local children's zoo. I shot this with my three and four year old sons hanging on my legs - now that I think about it, they probably steadied the shot. I used either Ektachrome 64 or Kodachrome 64 slide film using my Nikon Ftn (circa 1970) with a 50mm 1.4 lens. I had it transferred digitally about 18 months ago with about 1000 other slides. The transfer was made by ScanCafe, and they restored it perfectly. The only post processing that I have done is to crop it and add the copyright. As I was perusing my libraries during the latest rain storm, I came across it and thought that I would share it with you.
Bruce Lukaszewicz (BELphotos) > This is a followup to the BAMBI did it photo. After $290 worth of parts and about eight hours work, it's back to normal. The color is off because I didn't feel like painting it. The original paint is well faded from the southwest USA sun, so the match would not have been perfect anyway. This is the way the plastic comes, they call it primed, I call it shiny black. Works for me. I'll tell you one thing I learned from all this... I'm getting too old for this stuff. My back is killing me today!!!

Bruce Lukaszewicz (BELphotos) > Taken on Interstate 40, while passing through Checotah, OK. Yep, that's the name of the road. Locals will tell you that it is an accurate description of that road when it rains. 

I was trying out my "dash cam". I mounted my Canon PowerShot A720 IS to my Joby Gorillapod. Then wrapped the pod around the edge of the dash. It held pretty good in movie mode. However, when I switched back to stills, every time I touched it I had to re-wrap it around the dash. 

I think for a "dash cam" one of those bean bags with the tripod screw would be more appropriate. Hey, when you're driving cross country trips you have to keep your self amused.

Bruce Lukaszewicz (BELphotos) > (2007-12-28 Mt. Charleston, NV) This started off as a normal photo of a piece of apparatus. Several people have pointed out what appears to be a cross and flames in the reflection of the truck just above the rear wheel. All I can say is... it's eerie. This was a beautiful sunny day and R-41 was at a medic call on Mt. Charleston for a broken leg - no fire involved.
