Photography, Techniques and Whereabouts of Kevin Raber
I still have a lot of nice images to share from my week in Cornwall, UK. Today’s image was made in Charleston Harbour in Cornwall. I made it with the Olympus OMD E-M1. I used art mode for BW that allowed me to shoot RAW as well as have a JPEG in BW as shown. This makes using the camera a lot of fun. I saw these guys sitting on the bench and just had to make a photo of them. Black and White makes the image really nice.
While in Cornwall, UK last week I saw many cool sites as well as many castles. This castle is St. Michael’s Mount in the village of Marazion. At low tide you can walk and drive out the island. At hight tide you need to take a boat. Pretty cool and medieval.
I was in London just over a week ago and spent some time shooting under bridges and the patterns of some of the supporting structures. I think I need to make a project out of these.
Ahh, so many good images from my week shooting in Cornwall. Today is a shot made along the coastline. This is the Godrevy Lighthouse. I did a large number of exposures at this location so you may see more in the future. This was made with an Olympus EM-1 and 12-40 pro lens.
I have been enjoying my time in the Cornwall area of England immensely. I have been shooting almost non-stop and have seen some great sunrises and sunsets and a lot of things in between. Yesterday morning we were shooting the sunrise at a little harbor and we had a rain shower then a double rainbow. How lucky was that? It’s been one of those rainbow kind of weeks.
Seems I am in a sunset these week. I am in Cornwall and shooting a lot of images in a lot of places. This image was made today at sunset. Spent a good 2 hours shooting this lighthouse with various angles and shutter speeds. This is a good idea of why I am having so much fun here. Shot with an Olympus OMD EM-1.
After a very hectic week in Germany I flew to London and eventually ended up in the Cornwall area. Lovely area and I have been shooting for several days. On my first evening here within a few minutes I was presented with this sunset. I knew I’d have a great shoot for the rest of the week.
I arrived in Cologne Germany with my business partner and fellow photographer Michael Reichmann yesterday. We are here to cover Photokina, the worlds largest photo show. As I always like to do in a city I visit is grab my camera and go out shooting. I took the Olympus EM-1 out yesterday and made quite a few nice images. This one of a boy playing with a balloon with his dad was the winner. I shot it wait a 100-300 lens on the camera and that allowed me to shoot from across the street without them knowing. Bottom line is spontaneity.
If you have been following me for a while you know I love rust and decay. One thing I really love is peeling paint. I am thinking of doing project where all I shoot and show is peeling paint. The image above was made looking straight up at a ceiling in an abandoned house in the Palouse. I centered the lightbulb and like that with all the abstract of the peeling paint there is the circular object obviously man made. Fun stuff.
I have been playing wit this image for a while. This a shot of a ship that was wrecked or beached in Svalbard, Norway. It has all the things I like, decay and rust in a beautiful setting. I shot it at the angle I did to utilize the lines of the boat in the composition. This was made with a Nikon d*00e and a 24-70mm lens.
