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…

I feel like this leaf

I guess I picked a good week to take vacation. With this being the fifth rainy day in the row, I’m getting a little soggy. I canceled some plans to get work done on my house because it’s a bit too wet, so that left me with not much to do. With the exception of the hard core hurricane induced…

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…

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…

Drive-by autumn

So, getting back to the autumn picture thing. I had all intentions of not trying to capture the fall season on camera anymore but I kept seeing colorful trees everywhere today. With the gray cloudy skies the colors seemed to pop more than usual. But since I was working today I couldn’t spend time taking photos so these are just…

Since I’m here I may as well experiment

Continuing from my visit to the park yesterday to photograph the autumn season. My disappointment with the color array left me to do more experimentation than I normally would. One thing I wanted to practice was in camera multiple exposures to create an impressionist look. I’ve seen this effect done with film cameras that have the ability to take endless…

I was in the park and everything was yellow

I visited the county park today to attempt some autumn photos. It was a beautiful day with the sunshine and blue skies and the park was looking very nice. The crowds weren’t too bad and a lot of people were doing the same thing I was – taking pictures. Only they seemed to be taking pictures of each other and not the…
