Quick Draw

Last night while visiting at a friend’s cabin it struck me that I really should have brought my gear; the sky looked amazing and the sun was dropping rapidly. Ran to get my tripod and various accoutrements. Quick drive and setup later down at the shore. Staked my spot, got the grad in place, and let ‘er rip. Ten minutes later and I’m heading back up to the cabin to finish my beverage.

Oddballs

Figured I’d add something different to the mix today from this morning’s wanderings. First up, a bike rack. Mundane, but I like the look of it in black and white.

I think I’ll call it “Sold!”.

Next, a fallen stop sign. Why it’s down I have no clue. But the graphic look appeals to me. As does a common object in an uncommon space.

Finally, a down-and-dirty HDR of dappled morning sun over the entrance to the park lodge.

Good Morning!

Finally got my arse out of bed this morning to catch some early light. Clear skies (but could have used some clouds for color and drama), cool, and quiet. Off to the lake to see what I could find. The usual presented itself off the pier…

What started as another more-of-the-same shot ended up getting cropped for just the rocks as they got hit by the rising sun.

Finally, on my way back to bed I was greeted with some low-lying mist getting spiced up by the sun filtering through the trees. Called it a wrap and grabbed a bit more sleep.

Mood For a Day

Fairly lousy weather today. Got up early to catch sunrise but a blanket of dull cloud gave me an excuse to crawl back into bed. Mid-morning was a bit better and created some opportunities for black and white. And a chance to switch gears from some pretty vivid color from the last couple of evening shoots.
