Kousa tree

Another day when I was not able to take new photos. I am posting a picture from the recent past. This is the leaves and a berry of the Japanese dogwood or Kousa tree.

Day 45, Lighting

This is a study in the supression of the camera flash. In the photo above the flash was used. In the picture below I suppressed the flash. Using the flash generates little interest in the scene, but with the flash shut off there is a little mystery in the presentation.

Day 44, Still Life

Here are two still life studies. I wanted to work with lighting on different surfaces. The first was not giving me what I wanted, as you can see one object has a matte surface and, the background is a distraction. I did try other attempts with a neutral grey surface but that did not work. I then replaced the matte object with something more reflective. I think this is a better image.

Day 43, Building Art

I have been searching for a description for this type of art. Somebody spent a lot of time and effort trying to express themselves using the building as their canvas. If art is suppose to have a message, I'm not sure what the artist/craftsman was trying to say. Close-ups can be viewed: Here

Day 42, Still trying

I visited my sunset advantage point hoping the clouds would give me a good formation for an ideal sunset photo. Still not getting what I want but someday!

Magnificent

Today was a day when I did not have the time to take photos. I thought I would share a picture that was taken a short time ago at the Harmony Hill Farm, 354 High St, Randolph, MA. This horse has a very commanding presence and is beautifully groomed.

Day 41, Minnows

This Jack Russell terrier is chasing minnows. She had some success in the past and it is both play and an obsession. In case you do not know, Jack Russells are non-stop in their pusuits and play. More photos can be seen: Here
