Once a year the Arts District where I live (Carmel, IN) holds a classic car show. It is a big draw and a lot of fun to see all the cool cars that are on display. Like all things in Carmel, it has a certain charm and small town feel. I love going to see what I can find to take pictures of. I look for different angles and views that are typical snapshots. Nothing new with that but I love cars with their curves and angles. So here is the first image. I’ll post more soon.
There was this big old steam ship sitting at a dock as a tourist attraction in Saugutuck, MI. The ship has since been moved to Canada where it will be restored and become part of a ship museum. I have shot this location a number of times. The elements of the ship and the old lifeboats have given me plenty of good exposures. This is the anchor and I like the strength and colors.
This November I am holding a very special photo workshop in Arizona covering Monument Valley and The Slot Canyons near Page. At aPAge we will be shooting some amazing canyons and a few no tourists go to. This is a shot in Antelope with the beam of sunshine going through. I like this one because it is passing through and not landing on the floor of the canyon or wall. Shot with an IQ 180 this image has amazing detail.
It feels so good to be shooting and especially when you are in the woods outdoors and stumble upon a shot like this. This was at Rickets Glen in Pennsylvania. Lots of waterfalls there. This shot was taken through the trees (obviously). I wanted to combine the fall colors with the waterfall equally. I really love the feel of this image and how it is simple and pleasing to look at. Shot with a P65+
I love traveling the back roads. So, after shooting to my hearts content in Moab, I decided it was time to travel some back roads. These involved crossing over a few small mountains. This field we found doing this trip and the sun was beginning to set giving nice light. Shot with an IQ180 this image is super sharp and has great color tonal range.
You have to get up early to do great photography, and that is no different when shooting in the city and trying to make sure tourists don’t ruin your shot. This is the famous Chicago Bean. It offers a multitude of image possibilities with all the reflections and such. Normally during the day there are always hundreds of people with their point and shoots taking shots. So, get there early when the sun is coming up and have the whole place to your self.
While in Ushuaia one of the southern most cities in South America I came across this shot. Two boats and old life boat and some other boat. Not sure if they are related but the shot works with foreground and background. It is kind of ghostly so I messed with the image somewhat to give it a different look.
Creeping around a limestone quarry near Bloomington, In we found these buildings. Alls worn out with big warning signs on them. I peeked in the window of one of the operations and saw this machine. So, I shot an HDR sequence and then messed with the image some more in a few apps to create this image.
This has been a intense week in Denmark with a lot being accomplished business wise with Phase One. In between work I do find sometime to take pictures and I have quite a selection of colorful and nice images I am collecting. Copenhagen waterfront is a real nice place to visit. There are all sorts of boats and a unique charm and mix of building. Here is one classic shot a sailboat and a tugboat. Shot on an iPhone on the way to dinner.
I am still in Copenhagen. It has been a very busy and productive week so far. Almost done. Lots accomplished even some good photos. This one is reflections in the canal. Amazing what you can see after a few Danish beers.
