Amnesty Post

Okay, I've been sadly negligent in posting things here.  I've been busy setting up my photography blog, so I've been editing things, but once I got things up on the blog I kind of fell over from exhaustion. :p

Anyway... a few of the prompts I've missed...

Light

This is Volo Bog in Northern Illinois.  This may be one of my all time favorite shots I've taken ever.  I don't do a lot of landscapes, but this one was pretty cool.  It's actually one of two that will be going into a contest as a set - this is the second one with wider perspective and a break in the clouds.

Final reflections

Eeep! I lost track of time. I have a couple more Reflections shots to get in.

River again, and glass. )

Reflections & Glass

I don't know quite why, but I've been really brain blocked when it comes to photos lately. (Which, I know, is part of why I'm here! -__^) So tonight, I made myself just start shooting something, and this is what I wound up with.

Reflected Light


I did crop it a bit & boost the saturation -- the orange-y red glow really caught my eye. This is our kitchen light reflected through one of my favorite glasses.

The Bean that Launched a Million Reflection Shots...

So, timing is everything.  I've lived in the city (Chicago) proper for 10 years, but I'd never really been to Millennium Park.  But a group I belong to had a photo hike scheduled for there today.  Just in time for the end of this appature. :)

Anyway, there's a structure at the entrance to the park that's officially called "Cloud Gate," but not one person I know actually calls it that.  We all call it "The Bean".  It's a big mirrored bean that sucks in photographers from an 18 mile radius, I swear.  I have never seen more cameras in one place since the last time I went to a camera shop.   Most play inside where you can stand on your own head and stuff, but I was having fun taking shots outside.

The Chicago skyline, both in front of and behind me.  (Yes, that little orange and blue blob at the bottom left is your intrepid photographer.)

Reflections and glass

Three photos for reflections and glass.

Two more )

Also, I found one picture I missed during lines and patterns (took then, didn't process) - if you're curious it's here (and probably as good as or better than any that I uploaded). Also, of the ones I uploaded for that aperture, I finally figured out what the spiral was. Not from the server room...one row in a candy vending machine, all sold out.

A green vase in a window. The window hardware can be seen out of focus to the right, and reflected in focus on the side of the vase.

Return of the green thing! Viewing large provides more detail, but my goal, to have the hardware out of focus in physical reality but in focus in reflection, was achieved!

reflections FROM glass

I hope this is okay, I can understand if it's not; I've taken half a billion pictures recently and none of them suited the challenge, but when I finally dumped my camera's contents to my new computer I found one image that suited the challenge I'd taken a bit ago and managed to forget about:

I passed an old deserted house when I was out biking yesterday.

I stopped into an import shop today specifically to take these photos!
