Wishing Pool

Wondering why I was scoping out a new camera when able to capture this abstract with existing gear. Hope I don't have GAS (gear acquisition syndrome).  I did not make the plunge.

Photo Bombed

Clondon52w14: PHOTOGRAPHER HIGHLIGHT: Maria Svarbova

From the C.London website: "Maria Svarbova’s images are uniquely her own with her clever usage of color and setting.  She often uses the Soviet-era architecture which can be found in and around her home country of Slovakia.  Her thoughtful use of color is what really makes her images stand out from other somewhat surrealist portraiture.  For this week, I’d like you to user Maria’s work as an inspiration point for your own image. Whether you feel inspired by her use of color, subject, or setting is up to you." 

Thinking ahead, I had this image totally planned out in my mind. Weather and subject availability pushed me to the 11th hour when I changed gears and re-enlisted my buddy Irwin to again step in and be my subject. In the midst of shooting, we got photo bombed...which I was compelled to incorporate into the final image!

Getting In or Getting Out?

52Frames - Week 15 - Trapped

This was a totally unplanned, reactionary, spur of the moment photo opportunity.  Saw this great light coming in and grabbed it.

Pace Line

52Frames - Week 14 - Fast Shutter

I've wanted to try photo stacking so this week's challenge was a perfect opportunity to do so.  Climbing this road is reminiscent of the pace line cycling I used to do with my buddy Irwin, so his agreeing to lead the line is appreciated.
