Iceland Delta

River Delta from the air in Iceland
River Delta from the air in Iceland

On our trip last week to Iceland we chartered a helicopter.  Iceland from the air is a whole other world.  We were able to open the door and the pilot did a great job getting us to the good locations.  I think he has done this before.  One of the things that becomes obvious quickly is the abstract of the landscape.  This is a shot done of a river delta and the muddy waters.  without a reference you wouldn’t know what you were looking at.  Made with the Nikon D800E with a 24-70mm lens at 1600th of a sec.

Abstract Fun

My friend Art Wolfe is one of the most respected photographers out there.  I have enjoyed shooting with him in various locations around the world.  One of the things that always amazes me is how he sees.  He can see the big picture that may be mundane and nothing and see the smaller masterpiece in it.  This image is like that.  On the rear of a large and old crane in a shipyard was the deeply embossed letters and name of the maker of the crane.  This shot it just a portion of that.  Yet, if you didn’t know what it was you maybe would not be able to figure out what you were looking at. I challenge myself where ever I am to not  only see the big picture, but also to look for the small picture too.  Thanks Art!

A Bit Of Abstract

Peeling Paint Abstract
Peeling Paint Abstract

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.
