Another shot made not to far from the image I posted yesterday. This one is family time. You see a lot of people sitting outdoors and watching the day go by. You see this is South Philadelphia too. Always makes for some good photos.
Family Time
Author: Kevin Raber
Tango Girl
There is a lot to like about Buenos Aires. It is a city of color, intrigue, danger and some pretty cool people. In the La Boca area of the city is a charming colorful section of shops and homes. Mostly made of corrugated tin. On the streets there are couples that grab tourists and tango with them, for a price of course. everyone has their hand out for the dollar. So, while enjoying this area photographically I saw this girl waiting for her next dance. I loved the image because of the leg and head and the way they looked. I took the images made with a Canon 5dII and put it in my iPad and manipulated it using a great new program called snapseed. I will post another image tomorrow from the same area.
Stand Pipes
A photographer I very much admire is Jay Maisel. He is a typical tough New Yorker who has been shooting images forever and does so everyday. You never and I mean never see Jay without a camera on his shoulder. He finds a shot on the streets, in stores and anywhere he goes. He never has the excuse I can come back and shoot it later or I’ll get next or I wish I had a camera. His work is amazing and his philosophy towards photography inspiring. So, why the rambling? Because this is a classic case of seeing something and grabbing it. These are just plain standpipes in Broad ripple are of Indy. I saw the color, contrast and sun and had to shoot it and I let my shadow become part of the shot too. I like the design of the shot. Messed around with it a bit on the iPad and here is my image. Enjoy.
Death Valley Storm
One thing you can count on in Death Valley is a variety of weather. You can be on one side of the mountains and it can be claar and on the other side you can rain and snow. This was shot made traveling between Beatty and death Valley and these storms were just coming across the planes. I like the pattern and slight backlighting of the rain coming down.
Old Gas Station
One of the things I love to do when visiting a new location is just to drive a dn look around and see what can be found. Near Skamania, Washington I found an old repair shop and shot a ton of pictures there, some of which I have already posted on this blog. Today is another of a gas pump of all things. I love the old red pump and junk around it. Shot with a GH2 and enhances a bit on my iPad with a few different apps. Kind of cool.
Another People Shot
A good friend commented to me yesterday how much she liked my Irish man photo. She said I should photograph more people and show them on my blog. So, I’ll try to show more people pictures. This image is a fisherman from Newfoundland. I did a few years ago but it is a nice images and a great face. I got to thinking that I will do better at taking pictures of people.
What’s Ireland Without An Irishman
I am back home after a long journey yesterday. All messed up with jet-lag but that will resolve itself in a day or so. Have a busy week before heading to China next Wednesday. Today’s image was shot on the street of Killanery of a typical Irishman standing on the street.
School House On A Bluff
The PODAS works shop is now over and oh what a workshop it was. It was a week of a lot of photography, good classroom sessions and lots of fun and laughs. It’s great when you can bring fifteen photographers together from all over the world and share a similar passion. Bidding farewell was bittersweet, but I am sure we all will meet again on a future PODAS workshop. This photo was made with a Phase One P65+ on an ALPA camera with an extreme wide angle lens (23mm). It is a another view from the one published the other day. If you ever get a chance to visit Ireland, you will find a beautiful country with very friendly people. Put it on your bucket list.
Thursday In Ireland
This has to be short. We have been going non-stop and I am lucky I can even post an entry. We are having a blast. Very simply an incredible time. Lots of images for the blog for weeks to come.
Ireland Is Fantastic
I can’t even begin to tell everything that has happened on this trip to Ireland. I am having a great time. The attendees on the PODAS workshop are having a blast and all of us are taking and making great photos. The image above is a 30 second exposure taken at Minard Castle Beach. See the Phase One PODAS blog for more details.
