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…

Hmm, I got nothin’

So how about we spice it up with a taste of spice. I don’t have much to add to this photo except that I kind of like it. I like the warm colors and I like the circles. Circles are cool – when you can find them.   Hey, what the hey, I may as well throw in a few…

Ghosts of the machine…….NOW with bokeh!

How about a few shots of what was a piece of construction machinery that burned up? The machine was hauled away but some debris remained. Melted glass (in a nice aqua color, I might add), burnt rubber, and steel. And while we are at it, who can’t resist bokeh? Everybody loves it! So when you add bokeh to trash it…

Had to get out of the rain

Day number 6 of rain on my vacation so I thought a nice diversion would be to visit the Phipps Conservatory and enjoy a little color….while staying dry of course. The tropical “rain” forest wasn’t too inviting 😉 but all in all it was a nice place to enjoy some different scenery and exotic plant life. Photography-wise I just took the…

Back tracking

In a fit of nothing better to do, I went through some of my old photo files with a hopefully fresh look at some of my past work. I like to do that on occasion just to see if I missed something the first time around, or perhaps see if I can process a photo a different direction from what…

Not staying within the lines

It looks like the fall color is coming to an end soon, judging by what I saw today while driving around. That’s too bad, because I found a new life with it after getting bored taking “normal” shots, I started to experiment. I found the color a nice backdrop, and sometimes even the “subject”, for my multi-exposure photos. Considering the…

The party’s over, turn out the lights

A little break from my experiments. While I was in the park the other day trying to fulfill my artistic vision 😉 I took a few shots of this lonely swing set. I don’t know why, it was something to shoot but really didn’t offer much as far as details or textures. Regardless, I took a few shots, trying to play…

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…
