The weekend and holiday shots.
While fishing for the “right” exposure for a night view of this local fountain, I took several tight shots. The lights in the fountain were obviously very bright, but while playing with the metering I did manage to get a couple of decent looking, well exposed, completely uninteresting shots. This one, on the other hand, with the super hot, overexposed areas in the splash zone, I like.
Lens: Canon EFS 15-85mm. Black and white conversion: Nik Silver Efex Pro.

An old Hudson Commodore 2-door hardtop was parked just down the road from our rehearsal space. It’s a very cool looking car. After looking at the photos I took (a couple of which I liked), I figured that there are probably hundreds of similar images of the model readily available with a simple Google search. So instead of showing the whole car within a scene, I settled on this little “abstract” image. I like the simplicity.

I’m calling them “hooligans” because I like the word, but these kids on a bike whizzed by me while I had my camera in hand. Nothing is in focus, but I like it. Just a quick press of the shutter button during a night shoot.

Sometimes unexpected things appear in photos. I completely missed the man with a cane in this image until I got home and looked through my shots. I’m glad he was there!

I brought my camera along during a short errand run this afternoon. This corner apartment building caught my eye so I stopped and grabbed a couple of shots. From the front view, the style of the structure looks much more interesting in black and white.
To show the afternoon light, here’s a color view from the side angle.
