Architecture and thoughts about the flu, hair, and a few other random rants on home building.

So this turned into a long post on over 3 subjects. I’ll color code so you can skip what is of no interest. 🙂

Shoot-it-while-you-can (circles, food, broken glass, and an orchid)

I was originally saving that headline for an old building that I knew would not be there for long. I decided to use it for this post.  Our word for CCoH February was  “circles” I can’t remember what or if I shared any?   Here are a few pics for that.

The camera club, like everything else, is on hold because of the pandemic. I missed the deadline for “juxtaposition” anyway, even though that meeting was canceled. Now I can add “learn Zoom” to my to-do list before the next meeting this month.

Reflecting on reflections

What would you see if a mirror revealed your character instead of your reflection?

Black and white, with shades of gray, plus sepia too

This is the last GYBS theme and regular meeting for the camera club this year.  Here are the three I sent, all taken this year. I know I’ll enjoy the meeting tonight because the presenter is Kevin Adams!

Shadows for October CCoH Critique

Some new. Some old. All shadows.

Handles, Leaves and The NC Moutain State Fair with CCoH.

Yes, this is several posts combined into one, but they all center around the camera club so it’s all getting clumped together in one full post.

Depth for CCoH includes an archer photoshoot with the talented Taylor Hopkins

I only had three ideas for this “depth” theme, and they’re the same ideas I had last years “perspective” theme. One was a close-up macro, photo stacked to get all the detail front to back and, one was of a golf shot coming at me where hubby was in the background and the ball was close, the other was of Taylor hopefully with the tip of her arrow to her eye all in sharp focus.

Here are the three I sent in this year for the CCoH critique by Walter Arnold. I looked for a reference I’d seen a long time ago that showed a sailboat. One placed it in the upper third of the frame, the other the lower third. One, I think the one higher in the frame made it look a greater distance away. I thought of that when Arnold was talking about cropping photos but I never could find the example again.

Prints, Curves and a high-pressure water injury accident.

I wasn’t going to enter the print competition because I spend too much time and too much money having prints printed, mating or backed, choosing three and then storing prints that I don’t have room for…. but then, I did. Congrats to all the winners! I’m not sure which photo was marked which but my #s were 11, 31 and 51 so I can go back and see their score at some point.

Fences, Feathers, and Falling down

Fences make good neighbors AND gave me something to enter for CCoH.

Yes, I like a good fence. Here are the three I chose to enter for CCoH’s May theme of “fence.” Below those are others I considered, all taken this year.

April Abstract Again

   

I have missed several monthly camera club meetings this year, as I tried to get my computer straightened out, worked on client jobs, on taxes and took an actual vacation.
