For awhile now I've been on a hunt for a shot of this metal. I finally came across a wall made up of it and managed to even catch a reflection within it to make it more interesting.
A scene reflected in the mirror of a scooter showing a father and son taking photos of a different scooter while mum looks on indifferently.
Another shot from the Ramsbottom 1940s weekend at the end of May 2014.
Buick Eight that is always parked out in front of the Park Central Hotel. They have a mobster looking mannequin in the drivers seat, that adds to the essence of the car. This photo was inspired by another flickr photo I saw before my trip to Miami.
Kingwood and Ebony, Aluminum, and just a small bit of resin to reflect the light back from the aluminum accents.... we think it kinda looks like water...
The Bohemian Bethehem Church in Mauerstrasse, Berlin, was severely damaged by bombing in 1943 and was demolished in 1963. However a full size sculpture of it was put in its place in 2012. I came across this due to spying it behind other building, but would not otherwise have been aware of it. Fascinating structure, part of which is seen here as well as being reflected in an adjacent building.
I make rules for photography then amend or break them as the situation requires, for such is the nature of rules. One long-held rule is if I choose camera/lens for a shoot I must not complain to myself during the shoot about wishing I had chosen something else. I only have the compact Panasonic with me at Coolum. This morning I wished for the D90 with its 18-200mm lens - but the little Panasonic performed well into a magnificent sunrise. I tried to work within its settings which I thought would be high ISO, wide aperture, narrow DOF. I controlled the amount of light in the shots by focusing on different areas of the sunrise composition, sometimes focusing on the reflections which were closer to me than the horizon.
The Monument reflected in the windows of the building known as number 1, London Bridge. Sadly they seem to have replaced the reflective windows now - perhaps they were fed up with people like me pointing cameras at the buiding for the reflections of the City. October 1988. 1449_120B125_13.jpg
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
- Thomas Paine
But who are the real patriots today?
