Close to Home: Show us yours
« on: January 14, 2018, 01:00:16 pm »

Here are a few shots taken within the past few days within one mile of my home. I invite others to post images similarly close to home, any subject or genre.

We had severe cold (-7 degrees F), then 15" of snow, then heat (+60 degrees F), then torrential rains. These snaps were on the warm day, snow melt flowing on city streets, plus a dam on a local pond. Enjoy!

Nice series Eric! I have a hard time deciding which of the last two is my favorite. Ripples, like shadows, are intriguing aren't they?

Good set, Eric. I think my favourite is probably the third, although the red streak is distracting.

Would love to see you work your magic on the first.  It is wonderful small which suggests to me that your beautifully spare tar series processing would be time well spent. I don't want to understand the details... greedy me. You hooked me on that beautiful series years ago.

From an open window in our dining room.  Can't get much closer than that.  It was a bitter day and complaints about open windows arose quickly.

Thanks, everybody, for the comments and contributions.

Patricia,
Yes, while photographing the wet pavement, I felt that it was an extension of my tar series. Flowing snow melt doesn't stay around as long as tar drips do, so I have to grab it quick, before it dries.

A few more from my local pond, after the big thaw and another deep freeze.

Since you've shown me yours, I'll show you mine. Made this shot an hour ago right in front of my house, over the bank and shooting upriver toward the sun.

Was shoveling snow in the driveway and wishing that I was somewhere else taking photos when I espied the snow on the side door.

Eighty percent of all my photos are taken within 1-2 kilometres of my home. I did the lamp series. But now I will show you my dust. When I moved into the house there were these cheap black plastic window blinds and wine coloured walls with a grape motif over the doorways. Tried to clean everything, but gave up, painted it all and changed the blinds! Amazing how much dust there really is when you get close enough.
