Abstracts From A Wedding



People do not have to feature in every picture made at a wedding, as I wondered around the location with my mind on the people and the ceremony my photographic eye continued to scout about for frames of interest. In doing so, I couldn't resist the texture of the cobblestone flooring nor those wonderfully changing perspective lines forming from out the identically laid tiling pictured above. Neither could I prevent myself from popping the Lens Baby 2.0 onto the D70 to capture the chairs posted below. In hindsight though I would have placed a single flower on the featured seat, providing a spot of color further defining my chosen focal point. ( I know I could PS one in but for me the art is photography, not post process graphic manipulation. ) Another lesson learned.




I wouldn't be true to my heritage if I failed to be inspired by a kilt, and there in the background is once again that fabulous stone floor.




And yes, this is a people picture, but you must admit that it does have an element of abstract to it, and that really is my point - for the photographer who looks around, there is always another photo ready to be captured.

Beyond The Ranch, Part 1

So...
...with my interest in photography rekindled I set out with a point and shoot Canon in hand when I moved deeply into the wilderness where I managed a fly-in camp. The camp was intended for helicopter access fishing excursions but the proximity of mineral exploration and its related activity filled our camp with scientists, surveyors and support personnel instead; which proved to be good for the owner of the camp, who profited greatly while failing to keep his promise of recompensing me according to the increased work load. Life is like that though and when like a fool I returned for the second season I at least brought with me a Nikon D70 D-SLR that I had purchased during the winter off-season.

Today I will post some photographs I made with the Canon A70 point-and-shoot.
