Warren, Connecticut.
We were out very early this morning cutting up some large red oak logs from trees that were taken down last spring (my large saw with 20" bar had to make two passes). Fantastic wood and once split and dried it's going to heat our houses well three years from now (we work three years out).
It started raining while we were working and I noticed some water droplets collecting on a hosta plant nearby. Took a few images in the rain and this is what I got. Not quite as sharp as I'd like but still some interesting patterns and textures.
At Express Clydesdales, near Oklahoma City. This one was way overexposed so I decided to try an experiment. How well does this image work?
Dusk settles over a Torino street, as vehicles and pedestrians pass beneath the city architecture. The muted pastel colours and subtle calmness of the scene lend it a timeless feel.
A chair was removed from the left side of the image and the lines of light were duplicated to create three lines instead of just the original one that was at the bottom of the frame by her thigh.
Descanso Gardens, Flintridge, California.
Note: The California poppy image is heavily cropped.
There's something about this garden that's very nice: lots in bloom, well maintained but not too formal, and plenty of trees to keep it cool and shaded which makes for better photography.
I took pictures with the Fuji X100S and the Ricoh GR and this first set is high contrast JPEGs from the GR. I'm slowly getting used to the X100S but at this point the GR is like an extension of my brain as I've used it more and its simpler ergonomically.
This is a photograph of my daughter Haylee converted to high contrast. An eye was selected out for colorization. I hope she likes it...
Decided to go "back to basics" and went downtown with just a 300D and a 50mm lens and wanted to try and catch some candid street photos. I was about to wrap it up and go home when I noticed this big swarm of small birds flying in uniform up in the skies. I just stood there mezmerized for about 5 minutes before I had the sense to point the camera upwards and take this photo and I really like how it turned out, I just love the slight movement of the birds and the gloominess of the shot.
The building in the lower corner is the local court of law or "Héraðsdómur", don´t know if I translated that well enough. Web resolution doesn´t really do this shot justice.
