It's a really beautiful sihouette - I like the way the bulk of the hills contrasts with the delicacy of the brush in the foreground - you caught the light on the water just right to do that effectively :-)

Beautiful sunset scene...nice twilight capture. I really like reflection in the pond of the light effect that wildflowers detail...Amazing !

Warren,
I really like the backlighting effect against the colors of the water.

I like the juxtaosition between the architecture. Nice composition Steve. The foreground has a silver sheed to it as compared to the sky blue background.

Steve,
This is really the "after and before" composition. Both of the buildings are wonderful in a different way. I've been in downtown Philly and have seen both buildings. I'm trying to figure out where you shot this from and how.
Great challenging photo.

Hey, I just realized that Steve's picture and mine would be a good diptych! Another case of SteveR and myself being eerily on the same wavelength in our postings.

Hi Dolph - I made this shot from across the street of the east side of City Hall. I may have walked back eastward on Market Street, too. I took it with my Tamron 18-270mm lens towards the long end.
I had to tilt the camera upward to make the shot, then corrected the LBS ("Leaning Building Syndrome") in Photoshop - it cut off part of the City Hall portion, but I had left enough empty space above 1 Liberty Place to keep it in the shot.
A large part of the appeal of the image to me is also the "after and before" aspect - I very much like Helmut Jahn's postmodern building and also the highly ornamented City Hall :-) -

Warren... that's amazing, I didn't notice it at first, but you're right!
Are you sure we aren't related??? ;-)
Trefoil Arch Passage
There are 35 bridges and arches in Central Park - each one unique. Trefoil arch is, in a way, the most unique, as it's the only one where each entrance to the passageway is shaped differently. The west-side arch is a round Roman one, while the east-side opening is the trefoil (three-lobed) one you see here.
Trefoil Arch was designed by Calvert Vaux and
Jacob Wrey Mould, and constructed in 1862. It serves one of several paths that connect Bethesda Terrace to Conservatory Waters.

Steve,
I'm going to be in New York this weekend for three days and plan on walking through the parks. This really makes me want to explore the bridges.

Dolph - have a great time in NYC this weekend!
I took this image in late afternoon when I noticed the brilliant lighting on the far side of the arch. I used AEC to take a set of 3 quick photos and combined them, so as to be able to handle both the brights and darks.
I framed up and then waited for someone to walk into the arch from either side, so as to be sihouetted. - total time was about 1/2 hour - often someone else would walk across the front of my image at just the right time for the one going through the arch. I got a few decent silhouettes, but I think this was the best one.
http://www.centralpark2000.com/ is the best site for info on various features of the Park. It's got a sorta lame web design, but the information is golden. I especially like the pdf maps, which are zoomable.
Good shooting - can't wait to see what you come back with!
Squirrel at Moonstone Beach
We were hiking at Moonstone Beach in Cambria where I saw this little guy come out from under the boardwalk.
If you click to enlarge the picture, you can see me reflected in its eye. :)

Do you have dinner plans.
Last weekend we were at Seaworld in Orlando. In the underwater viewing tank this little guy slowly came towards me.
I'm glad the glass was between me and him.

I dont understand all the terminology yet or how to describe what I am beginning to see. But this seams to have a very deliberate angle and sharp structure that a week ago I dont think I would have appreciated.Now I dont want to stop looking at it. Very Cool.I love this feeling of pure enjoyment. I never know what will present itself in the next photo I look at. I feel like I was given new eyes and a heart tune up.

Flugtag San Francisco
Along with 50,000 others I went to the Flugtag event in San Francisco last weekend. Good fun, and some of the fanciful pilots actually designed a flying craft. Note what happens after to the air craft at the end of take their 5 seconds of fame (#3). The 30+ entries can be really divided into those who want to actually fly and those looking to have a good time and party. All in all a good mix. Nikon d800e, Nikon 70-200, TC 1.4. Dan

Dan,
Miami had the same event about 2 weeks before San Francisco. We couldn't get close. It looks more like great fun than engineers at work. Were the participants from around in the area? Most of the ones in Miami were from the east coast.
I like the jaws picture best.

Happy Turkey Day Dolph. The location of the participants seems to be similar to your event, with most of the folks from West of the Rockies.

Haha, great shots... I wonder how many concussions there were.... :O
Yet to develop mine but I will post them :) -
Steve Rosenbach said...

At the one I saw, I was surprised to see that the ones I thought would fly well just nose-dived off the end of the pier. The winner was one that didn't, to me, look aerodynamic at all (I think it was a hot-dog shaped flyer.)

For the Birds
Here's what the rest of the pier looks like. It's collapsed in the middle, so it's used as a roosting place for the local seagulls now.

Local Fall Colors

We happened upon this patch of local fall color in Foster City a couple of weeks ago. We went to lunch a restaurant next to this little park otherwise we would have never known about it. --Warren

Hole in the Roof
With the rainy season approaching for many of us, I thought it a bit ironic that this home owner paid for a hole in their roof. Leica M9, 50mm Summicron.

Chairs in the Sun
Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 14mm f2.5
It was a sunny, warm day with a very high contrast light at that location, and I thought there was a picture in here somewhere. I played with different crops to create an abstract, but I'm not sure if it works. What do you think?

When I first viewed the image I really liked it, but after viewing it more closely, I kind of get distracted, by too many lines. Just me maybe.

Story behind this one: It was on the day of the Blue Angels airshow. We met Dan, Lea, and Tyler at the Peace Plaza in Japantown. As we walked through the plaza, there were rows of chairs set up for a concert. It was a sunny, crisp day, and I was struck by the bright light contrasted by the dark chairs and the shadows under the chairs. I would consider this a "warm up"' shot, like I described a while back.
When I was reviewing my shots, I tried various crops and was never really satisfied with any of them, and I also considered leaving it in color vs. doing a B&W conversion.
Anyway, I thought I'd post it here to try and stimulate some discussion. It's okay to say that it didn't work for you (any of you) :).
--Warren -
Lea said...
-
I think it's great in b&w. The ambiguity between the shadows and chair legs works well... Maybe raising the camera a little higher would have made it a little more dynamic... I'm picturing myself also rotating the camera 45 degrees ccw, closer, and higher..
Hopefully that was constructive.. ?... D:

That is one serious looking snail Dolph, I like how you captured it in the grass, looking rather benign.

Well I guess its a start. =)
I have so much to learn! Thanks for having me.
Excellent photo Carl! I like the out-of-focus background you chose.
This is a great first post, Carl :)
It's a great application of selective coloring. Did you use Photoshop to do it?
I was wondering why you chose not to also color hand and arm?
Lastly, I like the child's expression, a bit proud, serious, and a little defiant.
--Warren
Carl nicely done. The combined use of color and depth of field focuses our attention onto the subject.
Dan
So cute and lovely kid...:-)
Lena,
This is attitude! Good luck to the parents in the future.....can't you heard this kid saying....you talken to me.....
Great post...keep them coming.
**Dolph
Man am I behind, I swear I tried looking at the comments previously and couldnt get to them.... I didnt color his hand because I was trying to draw more attention to his face and eyes... I used color splash on my I-pad to bring the color back and tint the photo slightly. Thanks for the great feed-back... I am going to post a photo now for Dolph =)
