Inspired by a challenge to incorporate the B&W techniques of world famous photographer Ansel Adams into my color photography.
HOW I DID THIS
To do so, this photo contains every B&W shade from pitch black to pitch white (look carefully). Likewise with the limited number of colors present following a similar gradient along their respective color scales.
COLOR PERSPECTIVE IN ANSEL ADAMS' TECHNIQUE
The Ansel Adams technique does not require employing every color in the rainbow because, after all, he worked in two monotones with unlimited shading and rich tones. His work inspires me to do this in color photography with one or more colors - or all if one can capture it.
THE RULE OF THIRDS
The Rule of Thirds is followed, beginning in the lower right and progressing along a diagonal to the upper left third. In those sectors the pitch black / pitch yellow BEGIN and traverse a gradient of scale to pitch white / beige-brown as an extreme of yellow hue, saturation, and gradient. Although the traditional Rule only requires focused subject in one 1/3 sector, it may serve to balance busy subjects by using two 1/3 sectors.

2022 kickoff! Just spent a week in Sydney, exploring the city and it's awesome coastline, including the beautiful ocean pools like this one at Bronte Beach.
San Francisco City Hall is the seat of government for the City and County of San Francisco, California. Re-opened in 1915 in its open space area in the city's Civic Center, it is a Beaux-Arts monument to the City Beautiful movement that epitomized the high-minded American Renaissance of the 1880s to 1917. The structure's dome is taller than that of the United States Capitol by 42 feet (13 m). The present building replaced an earlier City Hall that was destroyed during the 1906 earthquake, which was two blocks from the present one.
The principal architect was Arthur Brown, Jr., of Bakewell & Brown, whose attention to the finishing details extended to the doorknobs and the typeface to be used in signage.[citation needed] Brown also designed the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House, Veterans Building, Temple Emanuel, Coit Tower and the Federal office building at 50 United Nations Plaza.
The current City Hall building is a replacement for the original building, which was designed by Augustus Laver and Thomas Stent and completed in 1899 after 27 years of planning and construction. The original city hall was a much larger building which also contained a smaller extension which contained the city's Hall of Records. It was bounded by Larkin Street, McAllister Street, and City Hall Avenue (a street, now built over, which ran from the corner of Grove and Larkin to the corner of McAllister and Leavenworth), largely where the current public library and U.N. Plaza stand today.[citation needed] Noted city planner and architect Daniel Burnham published a plan in 1905 to redesign the city, including a new Civic Center complex around City Hall, but the plans were shelved in the wake of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which destroyed the 1899 City Hall.
Reconstruction plans following the earthquake for the Civic Center complex called for a neo-classical design as part of the city beautiful movement, as well as a desire to rebuild the city in time for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. A bond was authorized for $8.8 million on March 28, 1912, of which the new City Hall was budgeted for $3.5 million to $4 million. After Arthur Brown Junior's design was selected from the competition, construction started in 1913 and was completed by 1915, in time for the Exposition.
Ground was broken for the new City Hall at Van Ness and Fulton on April 5, 1913, and the cornerstone was laid on October 25 of that year. Mayor Rolph moved into City Hall on December 28, 1915,[18] the final stone was laid on March 31, 1916, and scaffolding was finally removed on July 28, officially marking the end of construction. The ruins of the old City Hall were sold shortly thereafter in August 1916 for US$2,300 (equivalent to $55,000 in 2020), with removal to be completed within 40 days.
The main rotunda served as the site where many prominent politicians and public servants laid in state. General Fredrick Funston, hero of the Spanish–American War, Philippine–American War, and the 1906 earthquake laid there in 1917. Former mayor and governor James Rolph laid in state in City Hall following his death in 1934.
In May 1960, the main Rotunda was a site of a student protest against the House Un-American Activities Committee and a countering police action whereby students from UC Berkeley, Stanford, and other local colleges were fire hosed down the steps beneath the rotunda. This event was memorialized by students during the Free Speech Movement at UC Berkeley four years later.
The Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 damaged the structure, and twisted the dome four inches (102 mm) on its base. Afterward, under the leadership of the San Francisco Bureau of Architecture in collaboration with Carey & Co. preservation architects, and Forell/Elsesser Engineers, work was completed to render the building earthquake resistant through a base isolation system, which would likely prevent total collapse of the building. City Hall reopened after its seismic upgrade in January 1999, and was the world's largest base-isolated structure at that time.
Prior to the retrofitting, the San Francisco County Superior Court’s civil courtrooms were located in City Hall, but have been located across the street at the 400 McAllister courthouse since it opened in 1997.
The original grand plaza has undergone several extensive renovations, with radical changes in its appearance and utility. Prior to the 1960s there were extensive brick plazas, few trees, and a few large, simple, raised, and circular ponds with central fountains, all in a style that discouraged loitering. The plaza was then extensively excavated for underground parking. At this time a central rectangular pond, with an extensive array of water vents (strangely, all in several strict rows and all pointing east, with identical arcs of water, and completely without sculptural embellishment), was added, with extensive groves of trees (again, in 60s modernist style, planted with absolute military precision on rectangular grids). In the 1990s, with the rise of the problem of homelessness, the plaza was once again remodeled to make it somewhat less habitable—although the most significant change, the replacement of the pond and pumps with a lawn, could be reasonably justified on the basis of energy and water conservation.

The building features color changeable LED lighting at the outside of the Rotunda, and between the exterior columns. The colors change to coincide with different events happening in the city and elsewhere.

Travelling to the USA for a month. Seeing 16 states in 26 days, including California, Texas and New York.
Watch my page for images from those states, including San Francisco, Yosemite and Joshua Tree.

This was a VERY long day of walking around the city as it was my only chance to see NYC, so I've split the images into multiple parts!
I was at a car graveyard in Ontario a few weekends ago and edited some of the shots. Since sunrise and sunset are so early and late right now I was there during not-great light, so I shot infrared (the best for old cars in my opinion) and kept my colour shots to mainly to abstracts of rust and logos.
Lovely city plazas bring me happy memories of past vacations. My last European pre-pandemic vacation In Bologna was one of the best in my life.
Für diese Aufnahme habe ich die Ananas mit Schaschlikspießen fixiert und mit Mangosaft bespritzt. Das Messer wurde mit Hilfe einer Acrylglasplatte gehalten.
Ausgleuchtet wurde die Ananas mit einem Studioblitz von links mit einem Striplight 10x90 cm. Ein goldener Bouncer von rechts hellt die Ananas auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite zusätzlich auf. Der Hintergrund wurde mit einem Studioblitz von Oben mit einem Snoot und Wabengitteraufsatz angestrahlt. Von rechts hinten - neben dem Hintergrund - wurde zusätzlich ein Systemblitz mit Wabenaufsatz verwendet. Das fertige Bild wurde aus 14 einzelnen Aufnahmen in Photoshop zusammen montiert.
For this shot, I fixed the pineapple with shish kebabs and splashed it with mango juice. The knife was held with the help of an acrylic glass plate.
The pineapple was illuminated with a studio flash from the left with a Striplight 10x90 cm. A golden bouncer from the right additionally brightened the pineapple on the opposite side. The background was lit with a studio flash from above with a snoot and honeycomb grid attachment. From the back right - next to the background - a system flash with honeycomb attachment was also used. The finished image was assembled from 14 individual shots in Photoshop.
