The whole shootin’ match.
While chilling at the homestead yesterday I put the 70-300mm on the T2i and went looking for abstraction. After stripping out the color, this image fit the bill.
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm at 210mm, f/7.1 for 1/320 second, ISO 200.

I pulled into the driveway after my long commute and saw a perfect, giant dandelion next to the garage–actually, the plant is called Salsify and has a 3″ diameter (dandelion-like) seed head. I shot some close-ups and here’s the one I liked the best.

Mark di Suvero is a well known abstract expressionist sculptor who just happens to have a very visible studio in my hometown (but that’s another story). This di Suvero sculpture called “Sea Change” is located near AT&T Park on the bay side of the Embarcadero in San Francisco. The person in the middle’s shirt just happened to look similar to the red in the sculpture so in Photoshop I extracted the reds into a layer, converted a duplicated image layer to black and white and merged the two.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 27mm. f/11 for 1/160 second, ISO 200.

In general, I don’t take a lot of photos during any given outing (I must still have a film SLR sensibility), and I rarely use a tripod, so when I get several shots that I like I’m a happy photographer. Another from the baseball game series I’ve been posting over the past few days, this wharf scene was taken after the game along the Embarcadero while walking back to my car.

Still going to the well–a symptom of chronic sleep deprivation. This is yet another shot from the Thursday night ballgame adventure. These palms are part of the Willy Mays statue centerpiece at the front of the AT&T Park.
