Fuji X-T1

If you are thinking "that's looks an awful lot like a Gehry design.." Well, you would be correct. The Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago's Millenium Park.

Water reflections of a decaying fishing boat.

Gooey Abstract

Sony RX10

Just having a bit of fun with an artsy subject, that I made into an abstract. Hey, my first post with an image from my new camera!

Abstract Monday

Canon 6D, 70-200mm F/2.8, f/11, 1/8, iso 100

Sort of like a painting? This is the effect you get with a slow shutter, water and reflections. John Barclay, Dan Sniffin and I visited Seattle's Fisherman's Terminal and shot a variety of subjects. When I saw all these colors on the water (boat reflections) I took some time to find a composition I liked.

 

Fun Friday - Lovely Ride

When I first saw this image (slow shutter!) I thought of a line from one of my favorite James Taylor songs "planets spinning through space." The song is "Secret O` Life." The line is in this stanza:

Now the thing about time is that time
Isn't really real
It's just your point of view
How does it feel for you
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race

Here is JT performing the song in case you are interested. I have seen him perform this song many times.

 

Happy Friday and thanks for visiting my blog.

Canon 6D, 70-200mm F/2.8, f/22, .6 sec, ISO 100

Visited Seattle's great Chihuly exhibit again this month. Playing around with ICE (In Camera Effects), in this case a bit of zoom blur. I.e. you are zooming in or out while firing the shutter. The long exposure also blew out the background which is kind of nice.

First Star I Saw

Canon 6D, 24-70mm F/2.8, f/11, .4 sec, iso 320

Got my creative thing going... You like?

Topaz Tuesday - Architectural Abstract

Leica M9

Another interesting scene I saw while walking the streets of NYC. After seeing this on my monitor, I felt it would make a good B&W, so into Topaz B&W Effects we go!

Just a few simple adjustments with the sliders and I had the kind of edgy B&W I am looking for. I think the B&W version draws me into the image more than the color version. See for yourself, the original is on the Continue link.

Abstract Monday

Canon 6D, 70-200mm F/2.8, f/5.6, 1/80, iso 320

I have posted these kind of shots before, but they were train cars. I just love this kind of look. Man creates, nature reclaims. And then I create art. How do you like this one?

Wild Abstract

Canon 6D, 70-200mm F/2.8, f/5.6, 1/500, iso 250

Cool reflection shot from when John Barclay, Dan Sniffin and I were shooting Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle.
