Along the Singel

52Frames - Week 20 - High Key

EC: SOOC

Walking along a narrow sidewalk by a canal in Amsterdam's "9 Streets" district, this colored section caught my eye in contrast with my wife's white shoes and black slacks. Due to crowds, I didn't have a lot of time to play with settings. On the 3rd exposure compensation attempt, I struck a balance between the rich color on the bricks and a blown out version.

Not the greatest of high key shots, but the intent was there and it keeps the streak alive.

Q-Tip Tree

The silhouette of this tree reminded me of Q-Tips.  Since when do they grow on trees?

Intersection of Materials

10/17/11 - Week 42
When I shot this in Santorini last year, I recall thinking that I've not seen a detail like this in the States.  Intersection of brick and steel.

Window in the Wall

2/6/11 - Week 6
Another shot in the series from Goose Island.  I didn't post it in Week 5 because it's better in color than in b/w.  In addition to subject matter for the Flickr group Trash Talk Tuesday www.flickr.com/groups/trashtalktuesday/ , there are lots of old industrial buildings which also make good subjects.  This week I'll post newly shot photos and some more from the 1/29/11 Goose Island shoot.

Broken Bricks in the Wall

Lots of Bricks in the Wall

1/31/11 - Week 5
Posted for Daily Shoot assignment #442: "Make a photograph that features repetition."  The difference between this brick wall and every other one is the detail in the jointery.  Not the typical raked joint.
