Spoiler Alert: My bucket list is trending now

Just thought I would use those terms before they become banned, as mentioned in this years list. Speaking of buckets, these lifts caught my eye the other day and thought it would make a good colorful pic. I liked the snowy wall background which created a nice uncluttered, almost abstract, setting. Please click on the pic for best view. I’m seriously…

Another photo

In black and white, as promised. Somewhat of an industrial abstract. I like the texture of the rusted metal, which works particularly well in black and white. And speaking of black and white, don’t forget to check out my photo on page 218 in the current issue of Black & White magazine (#95) as mentioned in my last post, available…

Well in hand

I thought I would rework an image I had in my files from a while back. This was taken in an environmental warehouse at a former employer. I always liked the gloves “reaching out” towards the camera and the lone light-colored glove. It’s bordering on creepy, so maybe that’s why I like it. And by that I mean I don’t…

I need to get to the point

A roadside find I came across today. These skulls and antlers were on the side of a barn in West Virginia, which was literally right next to the road . Besides the collection I really liked the matching patina of the bones and barn siding. They all kind of blended together, which made it a little difficult to photograph. So I…

Keeping with the landscape theme

I thought I would post another landscape type photo since it kind of fits in with the mood of the last photo. Though in this case I have the added element of water, which makes for a nice tidy reflection. I titled it “Tiger Lines” because that is what the pattern reminded me of, color aside. Or maybe because I just ordered…

There for a reason

I saw this farm fence today and I thought the location of it warranted a photo. The fence itself is nothing unusual, just the normal post and wire ensemble, but as you can tell, the background sure looked crazy. The fence is on the side of a country road and immediately behind it is a ravine, where the large, scraggly tree…

Trees seem to work

In my continuing multi-exposure experiments I have come to the conclusion that trees seem to work best for the technique. I was out in the park today and tried to incorporate other elements into the photos but I found that things with harder, straighter edges don’t seem to work as well. Also I need to be somewhat of a distance…

Zeroing in

A continuation of my multi-exposure experimenting. I’m sticking with the autumn theme for now until I can get out to shoot a better variety of subjects. I have ideas at least, if I can only find the scenarios I have in my head. I want to incorporate more defined elements, not so much nature, to give a little bit of a…

Making an impression

In order to get my artistic mojo back I’ve been trying to get outside of my own box. One thing that I have been playing around with lately is multiple exposures. As I mentioned in a previous post, my camera has the ability to take up to 9 exposures on one file and I have been trying to find some suitable…
