Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
My wife had gone to her dance class and I was walking the dog around the parking lot when I noticed this snowy truck wheel. Somehow I saw a panda face in the pattern of the wheel nuts on the snow. I didn’t have a camera with my and so had to resort to my old iPhone 3GS.
Wasn’t she gorgeous. She still is!
In addition to the constant snow it’s also gotten extremely cold. I also recently fell on the ice and hurt my back so I’m disinclined to go out at all at the moment. So instead I’ve turned to one of my outstanding projects: to scan my old negatives and slides. This one is from a Kodak Ektachrome slide. The camera would have been either a Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII or a Canon AE-1. I don’t remember which. I recall that I was experimenting with soft focus at the time and I believe that this was taken with a black nylon stocking over the lens.
Taken while walking the dog around the lake (about a 90 minute walk). Inevitably there was snow everywhere.
Two bridges. In a small park near to the entrance to the lake. My wife posted this one to facebook and one of her friends commented: ” …it looks like it’s taken from the Chronicles of Narnia”. Frankly I don’t see it myself.
Paul’s deer. Our friend Paul is a successful actor – appearing in a number of well know TV series. On his property he has a couple of wicker deer.
Fence. Nice rustic fence in the snow.
I wonder why they closed the beach?
Leaving the house one day I noticed these ice crystals on one of the windows in our garage. Makes a nice abstract composition.
We’ve been getting a lot of snow of late. Averaging around three snow falls every week, the snow on the ground has now accumulated to about two feet or so. So it’s hard to take pictures outside without getting snow. It’s getting a bit tiresome. Here’s some snow on one of our patio benches. I liked the pattern of the snow on the wooden slats of the bench; the diagonal lines; and the contrast between the light and dark areas.
