Red Arrows
Serendipity
In an earlier post (see: Vivitar 35ES – Results) I mentioned that I had inadvertently caused a few multiple exposures by placing my left finger on top of the camera such that it prevented the film from advancing correctly. This is one of them and I actually find it rather interesting. One frame was of a row of trees and the second one was of marks on a tank of some kind (I think. My memory on this one is rather vague. It could just as easily be tree bark). I like the rather abstract composition that was the result of them being combined.

Flaking paint
Another one taken at the Danbury Fair Mall, Danbury CT. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a splash of color in the distance. I walked over to it and found a container with some colorful flaking paint. I liked the bright colors and the textures, which gave it a somewhat abstract look.

I’ll take Manhattan
I know when I took this (about one year ago in November 2016). I know where I took it (from the window of one of our younger daughter’s friend’s apartment). I also remember the occasion on which I took it. Our daughter was visiting NY and we went into the city to see a show (On Your Feet) returning home via this apartment to pick up her luggage.
What I can’t remember is whether or not I intended this rather psychedelic effect. I took some other pictures at the same time and they’re all fairly conventional shots attempting (unsuccessfully) to get a sharp picture of the rather spectacular view from her window. This one, however, has a much longer shutter speed than the others so it’s possible I was trying to capture the camera movement. I’ll never know for sure.
Whichever it was I quite like the somewhat abstract effect, which (to my mind mind at any rate) captures something of the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.
A Walk Through Croton-On-Hudson – Shadow on the Street
I was walking past the Church of the Holy Name of Mary when I noticed that the sun had cast a shadow of the cross on top onto the street. I also liked the diagonal lines: the light blue of the crossing and the yellow of center line.
