Low Tide

This is a repost of a shot I took last year – I reprocessed, added a hint of FocalPoint and took down the saturation… Sometimes it’s worth going back over your old work – I loved this scene and comp but hated how it was processed. This is especially true when you want to continue posting every day but get way too busy at work to shoot new brackets.:)

LensScaper - Didn’t see the original so I don’t have a comparison but I like the very gentle subtle light. The small copse of trees at the end of the wall is a really nice extra detail.

Eden - Very cool Steve. Great focus!

Down the Middle

I asked my daughter to look at this shot and she said the thing in the middle is too wide. She’s 8. Great call, but I’m posting it anyway, there’s something about it I dig. Light trails on the right, the first snow of the season (last October) on the left mixed with some fall foliage…. My love affair with the Canon 14mm continues.

Edith Levy - I like it too. Beautiful tones.

Bash Bish Falls

This was one of my early attempts at long exposure with an ND-10 filter. This is a beautiful place near my house in MA called Bash Bish Falls – good place to practice – but of course I had to paint out a few people in the foreground:)

Phillip Burrow - Beautiful shot Steve. Love the long exposure!

Fire Escape

This building is on 37th Street and Broadway, directly across the street from my company, Bionic. I decided to post this pic today because just the other week I watched as workers completely removed this fire escape, floor by floor, piece by piece. It took about 2 weeks to dismantle (and I wish that I had set up a time-lapse of the removal) – but it’s gone, and there doesn’t seem to be any plans to build a new one. It was incredible to watch during the day the amount of workers who would use the fire escape to smoke butts… On some floors we would see the same person out there 2-3 times an hour. Now they’re just gonna have to hit the street…

LensScaper - Tremendous pattern picture. Love the straight verticals and the contrasting colours.

Derailed

These buildings first attracted me to the old mill town of Housatonic, MA… I’m working on getting inside, there are a few local businesses that rent space in there… From just peeking through the windows I am intrigued – super high ceilings, wide open spaces… it looks very cool.
