Summer Again
Summer Feet (Whipple Dam, PA) - Took out the Canon 5D Mk2 with a rarely used Leica 180mm f/2.8 for high hopes of a swirling bokeh. While kind of let down with the ’swirling’ part (I think that the swirling happens with older Zeiss Biotar lenses), this mostly unused lens was refreshing to frame images with and shoot wide open, and we got some very nice shots of the wading people, fishermen, and hikers. I spy on everyone, including my lovely counterpart in the chilly water.
Snowden
Snow Drift, State College, PA - One of the many test shots that went well while testing out a new camera. I wanted to see what the low-light, mixed-light colors would do on this blustery winter day. Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 21mm f/4.
Tunnel Visions
Memorial to the Fallen Trail Builders, Taroko NP, Taiwan - This statue and shrine is surrounded by the names of the Taiwanese workers who died as they cut trails along the cliffs in the Taroko National Park, near Hualien, Taiwan. Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 35mm f/2.
Ah, welcome back to the blog. I am going to try out the new format (as previously promised!) to house some in-progress/creative work that just doesn’t fit into the wedding/event/travel photography site, though there will probably be some overlap. I will try to post mostly pictures, which may or may not have text accompanying it. Hopefully the posts will not be *too* disjointed or random to read, so here it goes.
