homage to Georgia

homage to Georgia

Very long day today - sunrise on the Tidal Basin, run up to Baltimore, shoot at the Rawlings Conservatory, lunch (of course), then to Second Chance, an architectural salvage company. Scenics, flower and plant macros, urban decay and abandonment - we did it all. I didn't get a lot that I liked - and I'm too tired to deal with the rest of them. But I do like this one and it reminded me of Georgia O'Keefe.

taking flight

taking flight

You would think with 150,000 birds flying through the air I could get a number of shots like this that worked. Well, you would be wrong - there were two and even they weren't quite what I had in mind. I do believe I have a better idea what to do next time. Perhaps most difficult was waiting, and waiting, and waiting - then needing to do everything perfectly in just one minute. The waiting did give me a lot of time to think about what I needed and wanted to do, remind myself (more than once) to keep checking my exposure since the light was changing - and convince myself I was sure to screw something up! :)

Was fun, if a little intense - I will try it again.

150,000 ...

150,000 ...

... and I feel like I took about that many photos, almost entirely unsuccessfully. Experimenting with a lot of different things this morning - so I consider it a learning experience. I won't claim to have learned anything but wow, what an experience!

DO NOT ENTER

DO NOT ENTER

Conditions were really ideal the other day, wish I'd had better locations to shoot. I would have liked this shot better without the post and bush on the right side - and I did give a few attempts in Photoshop to remove them. I'm not that skilled, yet - and perhaps never that patient! :)

Had some great news yesterday, received my first statement from Getty - two sales! Nothing I can retire on but it will fill my gas tank a couple of times.

water's edge

water's edge

I had never seen the water as low as it was yesterday - exposed some things I'd not seen before.
