Sloan Park walk
When we first adopted our dog Maggie riding in a car was her least favorite thing to do. She would whine and often howl like a siren and then throw up after only a few miles. A trip to the vet. was dreaded by both her and I.
Current work and thoughts
I finished photographing the 22 local churches selected for the 2013 calendar of the agency I work for. I’m now post processing the images to black-and-white as well as removing unavoidable obstructions from the images…signs, power lines, light poles, etc. I’m having a little easier time of it this year as only a couple of the churches were on main city streets with all that brings.
Barn Owl – Autumn Wreath
It seemed a good autumn image…
Catching the bright spots of fall
A few local autumn sample images I’ve collected this week while being out-and-about. While there’s not widespread color there are some color “hot spots” here and there.
Pull over scene
Yesterday I began photographing selected local churches for a calendar the non-profit organization I work for does each year. This is my third year doing the calendar photos and the second year of having supporting churches as the theme. I usually photograph a little over 20 churches to cover the 12 months and then smaller photos on the inside and back of the covers.
Autumn – NC Mountain Water Features
In past years my eyes and brain have accepted a 3:2 aspect ratio for photos is “normal” – whatever that means. But here of late, shooting with my Canon S90 and now my Olympus E-M5, I’ve been shooting at a 4:3 aspect, often composing with a 3:2 finished product in mind, so as to use all of the smaller sensor — then cropping the images to 3:2 during post-processing.
