Uptown at sunset
Uptown Westerville at sunset is My Final Photo for July 18, 2013.
Keeping the granddaughter happy
Abigail at sunset is My Final Photo for May 12, 2013
Abigail loves to be photographed but it is always on her terms. Usually when everything is perfect from makeup to shoes.
I’m not sure if today was an exception to her rules or she desperately wanted a new photo.
Either way, I obliged her as the sun settle behind the trees at the end of the cul-de-sac. Backlight, 50mm f1.8 lens, Photoshop, Smart Objects, masked layers, and CLT.
Living for those few moments of light
There was that moment late in the afternoon when the clouds parted and I discovered College Avenue in Uptown Westerville bathed in spectacular contrasty warm light.
The photos are lacking in compositional and subject elements such as people walking on the sidewalks, bicyclists in the road, or skateboarders.
But there is always that light and the large shadow cast across College to aid in tonal composition..

Pair of kayakers enjoy early spring trip at Hoover
Taking an afternoon trip across Hoover Reservoir wasn’t a fool’s chore for this pair of young kayakers who braved chill winds and choppy waters for their first outdoor adventure of the spring.
Despite temperatures barely above freezing and a brisk wind from the west, the pair completed one crossing with a round-about return near the bridge where they encountered headwinds that buffeted their single person kayaks just enough to make the return difficult.
Despite the hazards and cold breezes they discussed their next trip to the lake although both hoped it would be a little warmer next time.

And, the day wouldn’t be complete without an iPhone Hiopstamatic Tintype of the duo.
