Here are some Late afternoon High Dynamic Range shots of the Lafayette Theater in Suffern, NY. I really like how the one with the street sign turned out. I plan to shot the NY Skyline from Hoboken NJ in HDR. That should make for a really cool image.
This is the final product of my Calla Lily photos from the last day. I set things up again this morning after seeing what I got last night. I am really glad I did. I got some great images.
I have been under the weather the last few weeks with one of those sinus things that is going around. I have been to the doctor a couple of times and am starting to feel better. I have been itching to get out and shoot all week, but decided I really needed to rest this weekend. I was however going a little stir crazy tonight. I turned to one of my favorite subjects... Calla Lilies. It required no real effort as it was a one light setup against a dark background so i spent perhaps half an hour shooting these beautiful flowers just looking at their wonderful forms and delicate flower. This satisfied my creative urges for today so I can go back to resting. Perhaps tomorrow I will paint a bit.
Once I have a few paintings under my belt and get to a certain comfort level. I want to work on painting this mandolin of mine in a setup. I think it could be a wonderful painting.
This little watercolor will be my entry in the Edward Hopper House members show. I am dropping it off today. We were encouraged to enter something Hopperesque this year, so I decided on the watercolor of Nobska Light I did back in August.
I hope you enjoyed these and i thank Everyone for their comments and support in 2010. Here hoping everyone has a great 2011!
While I have been busy uploading and editing images, Penny the Cat has been sitting in her favorite spot which is on top of a pillow perched on the radiator looking out the window. Today she sat still long enough for me to actual get some decent shots of her by the window light. Thanks for playing along Penny. You can go back to your nap now.
I set out on one of my favorite paths this morning that follows the course of a brook and changes elevation slowly. This gives you several small falls and pools in the brook as it meanders thru the rocks and trees. The only sound this morning was the rushing of water on rock. It was incredibly peaceful. The hike and the photos were exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries as we jump into 2011.
