Active Assignment Weekly: Structure and texture.
What it took: This is a 30-second exposure. I used a flashlight to highlight parts of the tree. It was raining heavily and I couldn't get closer to the tree without getting a very wet camera and tripod. I took this using manual focus. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything without the flashlight. The AF had no interest in focusing on anything. The sky ended up an interesting colour.
ISO 100, f8, 30". I took this at around 10.45pm.
A raccoon walked by. I listened to an owl. It was pretty cool.
Compositionally Challenged: June's most versatile - tree bark.
As with boating, for all intents and purposes there truly is no top end to the housing market.
This interesting structure occupies an island of its own at the end of a spit off Bowen Island, very close Vancouver, BC. You could think of it as Vancouver's Bainbridge Island.
Just as - in my lexicon, anyway - a "yacht" is any boat I couldn't afford, a "residence" is house most of the planet's population wouldn't stand a prayer of being invited to, much less owning. I suspect this is a residence, even if it is in essence a beach house, and a rather small one at that by the standards of The Hamptons or even other parts of the southern BC coast.
I must say I like the ladder running from the roof of the first story to the second story's roof. It's a little bit of Santa Fe in the Pacific Northwest. Perhaps someone harvests seaweed, dries it on the top of the house, and uses it to prepare traditional First Nations meals. That's done elsewhere on the Pacific coast of Canada, so why not here?
This morning, when we cruised past, the only residents in residence seemed to be seagulls.
I get a kick out of the drawbridge on the far left. I wouldn't know for sure, never having been near one (I just don't have the right type of friends - my bad), but my guess is the owner has a device like a garage door opener that, when pressed, sends a command to lower the drawbridge to the dock below. When you own a residence, you take these sorts of things for granted.
Having said all this, my snarkiness could come back to bite me were I to learn this singular building was actually designed pro bono by the late, great Canadian architect Arthur Erickson; hand-built by retired school teachers and at-risk kids from driftwood and recycled materials; and used to give inner-city youth an opportunity to experience peace and beauty on the shore while learning about marine biology and how to retire rich.
And boy, will they ever be sorry if when global warming raises coastal water levels.
Insane structure on the west side of GRI. We stayed back for quite some time getting structure shots as it wasn't close to producing a tornado at this point.
We get to GRI as the storm looks to fall apart, then just intensifies right before our eyes. Unbelievable, I thought the day was over as we got there.

Prescott, Wisconsin
I'm mad that its off-center (a personal problem)
-it was so hard to see in the viewer, which is flat-flushed with the camera body, and well scratch-up now..
mosly a problem when the sun is hitting it.
the structure of the arch keeps coming back to me, over and over again. lt still looks unreal...
*decided to keep this one in color*
Basic house structures created with Structure Synth and rendered in sunflow - still playing with the export templates to get transparency and reflections right.

Sand, silt, clay and organic matter bind together to provide stucture to the soil. The individual units of structure are called peds.

Structure Synth / Sunflow
The clock images are experiments for a Timestretch.com logo for my blog. I posted an article on Structure Synth to kick things off.

Stinging Eyes sent me a message about my previous clock image, and mentioned some banding he'd observed. I'd noticed this too, and decided to find a good solution. The image above was rendered using the hdr export format, which exports each pixel in 32 bits per channel. The image files it outputs are huge, but by using Photoshop to dither and convert them back down to standard 8 bits per channel, some banding in the grayscale ramps can be reduced. I can still see some banding in the image above, but I assure you, the PNG file exported directly form Photoshop shows a big improvement!
From the Parks Department sign:
At the eastern end of the promenade, near the World's Fair Marina's Pier One, artist Jackie Ferrara has enhanced the soaring white shade structures - known as Candela structures for the artist Felix Candela (1910-1997) who designed them for the 1964-65 World's Fair - with a complementary abstract geometric paving pattern. Ferrara's design also includes special benches, an in the artist's words, the project as a whole is meant to "be a part of, include, and interface with the site . . . reflect the topography, the functions, and the history of the area . . . and pay homage to the memory of the World's Fairs."
Detail view of Vinewood central office, designed by Wirt Rowland of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls and completed in 1930.
One of the unusual aspects of Michigan Bell exchange buildings is that, in order to accommodate telephone switching equipment, the ceiling height of each floor was nearly double that of a standard office building. So while this structure appears to be a typical 3-story building, it is actually taller than a 5-story office building. Note how small the front door is relative to the rest of the building (this is not the building's original door).
The chevron-shaped design appears on many of Wirt Rowland's buildings and may well have been inspired by the same design used on Navajo and Hopi rugs and pottery. Native American rugs, pottery and jewelry were popular during the early 20th century and often discussed in both mass-market and academic publications. In the space between the windows (vertically) the chevrons form diamond shapes, a motif which appears on many Rowland buildings.
This Structure chair's organic shape shell is made in a low-density integral polyurethane solid-colored foam material. The smooth surface of the chair's inner shell conforms to the body to allow seating comfort.
The Structure chair was part of the "Polish Red Dots" exhibition, which showcased award-winning Polish Red Dot designs. The exhibition, at WIPO's Geneva headquarters from May 27 to 31, 2013 was organized jointly by WIPO and the Government of Poland.

A serie of photos I made during a workshop on architecture photography by the guys from The Map Project.
Teōtīhuacān reached its peak from the 1st to the mid-6th century C.E. The main structures include the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, Avenue of the Dead, and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent). Teotihuacan was home to as many as 125,000 people. The name Teōtīhuacān was given by the Aztecs long after the city had been abandoned c. 550 C.E. The original name is lost.
If you use this as a texture, I'd appreciate it if you post link back to the original picture.
I also like to see the final result. Thanks!
Site of the murder of FBI Special Agent W Carter Baum by Baby Face Nelson in April 1934. The incident occurred in front of the house where Nelson was holding hostages to make his escape. Nelson had just escaped the FBI raid at Little Bohemia Lodge. The left portion (roughly 2/3) of the house is the original structure from 1934. Photo Sept 2014.
