Wet Tulip

Wet Tulip

So I went away tho weekend and tried for the most part not to shoot with my big boy cameras.  I concentrated on iPhone images mainly shot in the Hipstamatic app.   Sometimes you just need to break the mold and do something different, try to see things in a different way and just have fun.  The next few images are from this weekend and it shows just how much fun you can if you see and look for things.  Today’s image was made of a wet tulip.  I am not big for flower images as everyone can do one, but if you can do it a bit differently then what the heck.  THe hipstamatic, a little work in Snapseed and the rain on the pedals make this image worthy of a blog shot here.

Your Carriage Awaits

Your Carriage Awaits

Near Saugutuck, Michigan there a cool antique store called Sunrise Junque.  I have been going there for years and will soon make a book from this interesting place.  Here’s a shot from a few years ago.  I think they go and buy old amusement park things as well as tons of other stuff.  They spread it all out and it is a photographers dream to shoot there.  Not to mention I have come home with some cool stuff over the years.

Old Abandoned Hotel, San Miguel, Mexico

Here is another shot made at the abandoned hotel in San Miguel, Mexico.  This was such a fun place to shoot.  I embellished the image a bit to add to the mood and overall despair of this building.  Shot with a Phase One IQ180 this image has spectacular detail and allows me to hold the dynamic exposure range of highlights to shadows.

The Old Keys Bridge

Old Railroad Bridge, Key West, FL

Have you ever visited the FL Keys?  Interesting place for sure and even more interesting people.  Funny how the different ones drift off to places like the Keys.  The Fl, keys have just one main road and it will take you on a slow meandering drive to the southern most point in the US>   Key West is a small tropical type of town with tons of bars and interesting people.  You never know what you are going to see.  In the evenings at sunset there is the sunset festival and every night you can gather on the docks and be entertained by street performers sip a beer and watch the sunset.  Quite a lot of fun.  This image is a portion of the old railroad bridge that used to run all the way to Key West.

Cool Scooter

Scooter In Antique Store

A few weeks ago I enjoyed one of my outing with companion photographer Debra.  We try once a month to take a Sunday and go somewhere and just shoot pictures of what we find.  We come across abandoned buildings, funky stores and all sorts of other interesting things.  This shot was in a very cool antique store in a town we never heard of.  They had all sorts of cool stuff in a eerie of stores.  We spent nearly two hours there shooting.  I have published a shot previously of a bank safe hinge shot in one of the stores.  This is a cool scooter type bike on a shelf. I have a bunch more you’ll see soon.

The Washington Coast

Washington Coast Line

Part of the Olympic National Park runs along the coastline of Washington.  Much of it is hard to access and some require a bit of a hike.  This shot though is available from a parking lot.  The whole coastline from Washington south though Oregon is just an amazing place to take photographs.  I’ll be doing a workshop in olympic National Park this september.  This will be one of the places we go.

Playing The What Is It Game

Rusty Chair or Muddy River

It’s fun sometimes to make photographs and have people guess what it is of.  This weekend I created a few of those and I will present thins this week.  Today’s image was made yesterday on one go my Sunday photo adventures.  Simply it’s get in the car head in a  direction and see what you find.  And, we found all sorts of cool stuff.  When I saw this image I had to shot it.   Being a rust guy I was all over it.  This is the back of one of those old chairs you’d put in your backyard.  As the paint peeled new rust formed and then rusted more paint off.  You can see the lines where all this happened.  However this could also be an aerial shot of a muddy river.  Hmmmm….fun isn’t it?

More Icebergs

Floating Ice, Antarctica

My friends say I should do a book or exhibit on all my iceberg images.  Sounds like a good idea and it will go on my task list, which is rather long.  This page was from Antarctica (obviously) and I just love the way it works.  Foreground, iceberg  in the background, and then the mountains and horizon light far off.  This is a very strong image and one of my favorites.  It is also a very strong B&W image and I have that one over on my Facebook page.
