52Frames - Week 35 - Rule of Thirds

Went to a local park with a pond and small beach hoping there would be some activity on this Labor Day weekend.  Got several shots, some even with the EC, but this was my favorite.

2022_CLondon52w8: Domestic

From the C.London website: Open for Interpretation

As I've reflected in this blog previously, watching our grandson is one of my greatest pleasures.  It is also one of my domestic responsibilities.  So with Presidents Day closing his child care, we were called into action on this holiday.  Unfortunately, the little guy was a bit under the weather so a trip to the pediatrician became part of the plan for the day.  After the visit, while Mimi was reporting back to our son, Pops was firing off a few photos in the waiting room.

This image is the first 2Fer of the year, fulfilling both challenges with a single photo.

52Frames - Week 6 - Rule of Thirds (Extra Credit:  Street Photography)

While riding the Metra train home, I noticed this reflection in the window next to me.  With just the right lighting conditions, I could place the subject right at a RoT intersection point and have it emerge from the background.  After several attempts with both my iphone and new Sony A6600, I was able to capture a strong reflection along with the "street photography" context as background.  Post was mainly straightening and b/w conversion.
