Abstract Realignment
I have those times when my brain just doesn’t want to do anything, let alone anything creative. When that happens, I do an abstract black and white with split toning in Lightroom exercise. It’s not the most magnificent thing in the world, but it’s fun play and it sometimes gets the brain moving again.
Next Time: Old Dictionaries
I love them and I have two. One I just found is pretty cool.
Club Shoot Archive
Here are a couple of archive photos from January’s photo club table top night. I brought my own light source and reflectors as well as some subject matter, but it is kind of a free for all, so I ended up photographing mostly items the other members brought. Mine ended up being mostly floral items and a vintage green glass dish.
Next Time: Sand Dunes
I went to Michigan and checked out a National Lakeshore area.
Thaw-Freeze
It’s freeze-thaw cycle time around here. We’re more in the thaw today, thankfully. However, one morning last week I went out to get some shots of a creek that was thawing and had frozen in places again. Thaw-freeze, if you will. this makes the ice patterns more interesting and complex. There were also trapped bubbles, and added bonus.
Next Time: Mugs or Spring
I have some more mug photo ideas wandering around in my brain. Otherwise, well see how quickly Spring gets here.
Somewhat Abstract
I said I was going to do abstract. Well, this is a little more realistic than I normally do, but I would say it counts. Split toning on all but one of them, mostly close-ups, but, yes, a little more realistic than usual for this kind of post.
Next Time: Night photography or try again.
Woods and Abstract
I think fall was the last time I did something like this. After my last couple of posts, I just need to get used to shooting out in the woods again before the spring flowers come.
Ever feel like something is watching you?
I shot and split toned the above two thinking of them more like rock formations than broken off trees.
Next Time: More Nature or Archive
Rainy Abstract
Despite the rainy weather, I decided to take my camera outdoors for abstract shots. The light was soft, but dim, so the tripod was a must. Damp surfaces also have a different look about them, not to mention the rain drops adorning various surfaces.
Next Week: Archive or Lightening Rods
