Day 46, Sunset colors

It may seem that I have a fixation on sunsets but the reason for so many is quite simple. First the vantage poimt is close to home. Second I am fascinated by the variety of colors seen at sunset.

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.
