Gail and had fun doing this picture. It was July 4th and there was a band playing outside at Pier 39. The woman outside the window here was bouncing around to the music. We noticed that the light was perfect for a reflection shot of Gail's face buried in the woman's hair. It was a challenge to catch the woman mid-bounce in just the right position. Well, we thought it was cool, anyway :)

While walking around the Foggy Bottom part of Washington D.C. this reflection of windows fit almost perfectly within these windows.

Reflection at the National Cathedral


Often we are looking up and in front.  At the National Cathedral the floors are very polished and the sun was making a nice reflection on the floor.

Dolph, I think this is one of the best shots that you've ever posted here! The composition and the subdued lighting are great. You're telling a story in a picture. Marvelous!

I think you've got two types of reflection: in the water, and self-reflection of the young boy. Neat!

This was taken from the step of the Lincoln Memorial, hand held.

This shot was also from the Lincoln Memorial but off to one side. You can see the capital building behind the Washington Memorial.

Both very interesting night shots. I like the 2nd one, it's a little sharper, and I like being able to see the capital building.

hi Dolph, thanks for contributing to the June project. Nice pictures! I think Benson also has the 18-200mm. It seems like a nice travel lens. How do you like it?

Reflections in a Window

D200 18mm
I was standing outside one of the museums in Washington D.C. and the mid day sun made for an interesting shot.  In the window you can see the stairs, with the art piece behind me, the cable type car, and one of the Federal buildings.

Sports Cars

Panasonic DMC-G1, Leitz 50mm f2.8 Elmar

This is post #8 for the June Project (reflections). This is a picture of the back of a classic, vintage, 1969 Fairlady 2000 (Datsun), with the reflection of a modern, late-90's Ferrari 550 Maranello exotic sports car.

I attended the annual Palo Alto Concours (car show) last Sunday. It was HOT there, as usual. I had the Leitz Elmar mounted on the G1 when I first got there, but after two shots (this is one of them), I decided that there was not enough room to work that focal length at the event, so I swapped it out for the Lumix 20mm f1.8 for the rest of the day.

Is everyone okay with "Environmental Portrait" for our July project? Or should we just say: Portraits (of any kind)? Any other ideas?

Thanks,

WT

hello, I thought about it some more, and decided that if we do portraits, it should be just "Portraits", no need to restrict it to environmental only. Or does anyone have another suggestion?

I'm good with portraits :-)

Nice shot of that datsun sports car. I remember my first car was a second-hand '71 Datsun 510 Wagon. When I found out the also made this little sporty thing, I lusted after it - but never got one.

Exploring under the commercial fishing pier at Avila Beach. If you look closely, maybe you can spot the two sea lions swimming around in the water.

Warren, this is a great shot.

There seems to be a purplish cast on trees, but it could be my monitor or something. Are you using filters? Does anyone else see this cast? or is it just me?

Thanks Ted. re: the color cast, yeah, there is a bit of it. My glasses must have been dirty when i was messing with the levels, LOL!
