So Copenhagen

I love Denmark and especially Copenhagen. I work for a Danish Company, Phase One and love the job. I get to work in a field i am passionate about, meet great people from all over the world and share our mutual passions – photography. Copenhagen is a magic city. You can practically walk the whole city and there is so much to see. This is a shot from a trip a year ago. Obviously I messed with it a bit but it kind of fun. I love the whole lion thing. Kind of like a fairy tale thing.

I don’t do recovery well. I am restless and want to get out. But my shoulder still hurts a lot and I don’t want to push my knee. I am doing what many of my friends have recommended and that is take it easy and take advantage of good drugs. So, I sit around the house reading, working on photos, doing some work, watching TV taking meds. I so much want to be out enjoying the day. I tell myself this can’t last forever.

Old Boat

seattle 2 — Boat At Seattle Maritime Museum

One day while visiting Seattle I decide that everything I shot I would do in HDR. I also decided to do this technique with the gritty look. Needed to get it out of my system I suppose. So, this was shot of an old boat at a maritime museum with three different exposures. They were then blended in photomatix.

Big Sailboat

While in San Diego I had the chance to do a lot of photography at a number of different locations. I love shooting by the waterfront and you may remember a photo of sails from a few weeks ago that was taken here. So I concentrated on looking at everything cropped and found a lot of symmetry. I shot this big sailboat that I believe was used in a movie straight on. Interesting lines and perspective here.

Old Lady In A Hurry

One things I enjoy doing is street photography. Shooting people and scenes while walking around a town or an area. This shot was made in Buenos Aires and is of an hunched over lady rushing up the street and on a mission. She was moving very fast. I liked the wall, color of her clothing and the packages she was carrying.

Trumpet

While visiting one of my more favorite places – Saugutuck Michigan, I make a trek to the Sunrise Junqe store. This is an mazing place to visit and I have been going to this place for years. It is off the Blue Star highway south of Saugutuck. It is set up so it is like an adventure in antiques and junk. A photographers paradise to say the least. I now have enough images to start a book on this place. This image is just a close up shot like the springs from yesterday. I messed with it a bit on the iPad to come up with this feel. Lots more from this place and I’ll post more over time.

Blue Anchor

I was out shooting ships in Copenhagen and came across this blue boat with a blue anchor. The original didn’t look all that great kind of flat so as I do with a lot of my shots, I played with it coming up wit this image above. Just a simple picture.

Whale Tale

Every one takes them and I have tons of them. Each whale tale is special. It’s an amazing thing to see in person just as a breach is or even when they become very friendly and come within feet of you and poke their heads out of the water. I love whales and I am amazed and puzzled by them. This shot was made in Antarctica where I have had some of my best whaling shots. I played with contrast and a few other things to boost the impact of this image.

Rope In My Eye

rope eye — Rope In The Eye - Copenhagen, Denmark

Sometimes simple works. When I am out shooting I look at things with a frame around them. Isolate and find the strength in the design and composition. This was shot in Denmark along the Nyhvn Cananl. There are always great shots to be had here. Overall big wide shots and sometimes close shots like this. This was shot on a Canon 5dII and then I messed with it a bit on the iPad in Snapseed. All a lot of fun.

I leave today for Chicago to lead another PODAS workshop. This one will be on Architectural photography. Be sure to check it out at www.podas.info the PODAS Blog.

Full Sail

Today I was searching my images and came up with this image shot in San Diego. The original was full color beautiful light and was a great example of good composition and exposure. But it was a little to normal. I shook it up by playing with it on my iPad using an app – Snapseed. Here is the result. Something that slows you down a bit and makes you look.

Big Iceberg

Antartica 5003 — Big Iceberg and Bird, Antarctica

It has been a hot week in China and thought that today I would cool things off a bit. One thing that I marvel at is icebergs. There are all sorts of different bergs out there. This one is a tabular berg and could measure three quarters of a mile wide and deep. There are some that are much bigger. This one was caught with the bird that adds foreground and makes the shot work.
