Here is one more picture of the the old truck I posted about yesterday. Definitely needs a new paint job but the look works great for HDR.
I recently posted “Our Savior“, which was my favorite picture taken at the old cemetery southwest of our house. Here’s another picture but from a different angle. Again, I think black and white works great here. I also think the “blown out” appearance of the background helps make this picture work.
If you think about it, it’s kind of scary that you are always being watched. You never know when someone may snap a shot of you. This guy was very interested in his MP3 player. He never noticed he was being photographed.
I always like finding interesting people. As I was walking around Chicago, I came across a guy at the cross walk wearing neon yellow headphones. I politely asked if I could take his picture and he obliged. Later, when I was processing the picture I noticed the red buses in the background. I think the red adds a lot to the picture.
Even though I didn’t have much time to take pictures on my San Diego trip, I feel like I captured some good ones. Here is another picture from Balboa Park. I really wish I could go back, the architecture as I mentioned before was spectacular.
Here are previous post from my San Diego trip: Need a ride?, The Moment
Our baby girl continues to cooperate when taking her picture on the couch. I’m thinking her 6 or 7 month picture will have her sitting up.
Wow has she grown!!!
P.S. I’m using a new slideshow viewer, it should start automatically. You can hover your mouse over the image and can go back or enlarge it.
When you’re walking around big cities you will often come across some unusual and sometimes strange people. When we started our photo walk with Steve Huff we were walking in the rain and the temperature was in the mid 50’s. As we came around a corner there was a man walking in the street in only tennis shoes, shorts, and tight t-shirt. I quickly took a picture which was obviously underexposed. Personally, I think the shot worked well, it gave the subject an interesting and somewhat scary look.
My baby girl is obviously still trying to figure out what’s going on around her. We have a cat and dog and every time they walk by her, she gives them one of those glares that says “who and what are you”. While visiting at my mom’s, her cat showed a lot of interest in Lyla. Lyla definitely was eyeing him back.
I like seeing interesting people. As I was walking around Chicago, I came across this gentlemen with an interesting hat. Mostly, I liked the contrast between his hair and the hat. The umbrella and his companion added a little extra to the shot.
I was amazed a few weeks ago when I was in Chicago of how many weddings were going on on Michigan Avenue. I suppose it would be a great place to tie the knot. We came across this bride and groom who were getting their picture taken. I had my Leica 28mm summicron and snapped this picture. I really like the wide angle here. It gives you a sense of how large the occasion was.
