It’s kind of a touristy trap place, but if you can get the people out of the picture it is a beautiful castle to take a picture of. Seems Scotland just has an abundance of castles This one is exceptional and built on an island like so many other Scottish castles. I have more of this castle and others I’ll be publishing over the coming weeks. This was made with the Olympus OMD 5.
I still have a lot of fun using my iPhone even when my big boy camera is hanging around my neck. This was a quick snap I made in Copenhagen . I kind if liked the whole street scene thing and especially the little girl running around the fountain. Dressed the image up in SnapSeed.
This is a fantastic time to visit the Palouse in Washington. It’s harvest time and this makes the landscape very dynamic as the farmers harvest endless fields of wheat. You can spend all day exploring and shooting in the Palouse. This image was made after chartering a plane and flying for an hour and shooting the fields from a different perspective. I’ll be running a Lula/PODAS workshop in the Palouse next August. Stay tuned for details.
Chicago is such a fun place to shoot street photography. You can get some real interesting images of some very unusual people and you can shoot shots like this that mix the city, steel and people into one image. I liked the framing and was trying to balance the perspective and composition out when a person walked into the image. Click and I got it. Make with a Phase One IQ180. Yes, you can shoot street stuff with medium format.
On one of my visits to Death Valley I visited Scotty’s Castle. This is a pretty cool castle located in the middle of the desert. Really hard to believe some guy a hundred years ago built a place like this. This image was made lying on my back and shooting straight up the circular staircase. Then I messed with it in pst processing.
Boy, I am having a run on the Palouse. Maybe it is just because I love this region so much. Also, I am prepping the launch of a workshop in the Palouse next August. This is a great example of just how simple of a landscape the Palouse is and why simple works so well.. Shot with a Phase One IQ180.
The Palouse region, in Southeast Washington is all rolling hills and manicured fields. But a little ways way is an area of flat lands where this image was made. I ike the look of the trees and fields as well as the sky. It just works.
This ship is no longer in Saugatuck where the image was taken. It was a landmark there for a long time. A year ago the ship was moved to a new loaction where it will be restored and opened as a museum. I have always had fun shooting this boat and have a lot of good images of it. This one I like because of the symmetry and the way the light plays on the hull.
This is a motorcycle with a story. And, you will have to visit Jerry, see previous post a day or so ago to learn the story. I have a few other shots made of the displays Jerry has in his shop and you’ll see them sometime soon.
I have posted other images here of waterfalls. Seems I shoot a lots of them. I have also posted images from Rickets Glen here. This place is in Pennsylvania. Great place. There are around 27 falls along two different trails. So, it is a 2 or three day trip to get the images and do it right. This is one of the falls there. I may be tempted to drive back there again this year.
