Daily Walk

[Michael West]

As always, thank you Eric and Francois for you comments and interest. I was going to post this next image in the 'abstracts' thread but it was part of my walk, so here it goes. The sun did shine for me last night
 

seldom have I seen  such similar clouds

Eagles in flight !

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

That was my thought too.

Maybe they actually were albino eagles and John did some of his camera-movement magic to get this effect.   

Anyway, really neat pix.

You don't know if things will work when you are experimenting. But if you don't try you will never know. These, despite their obvious unrealistic rendering, nevertheless have a painterly quality to them which I like. Basically these are multiple exposures done in brightness mode. That's what makes them so colourful, and the highlights, brighter than usual.

Your experiments are always fascinating, John.
I like these!

Thanks for looking and commenting. These kinds of images look much better and have more impact on larger scale. If the image is interesting and well taken, of course!!

I shovelled for two hours yesterday. My muscles ache. So to help soothe my aching body I thought of this summer flower with its ethereal qualities. But I confess what really helped is that my neighbor let me borrow his snow removal machine.

Well done, John. It's lovely.

Swamped in pink! Wonderful, I love it!

Anyone who can shovel snow for two hours and lives to tell the tale must be insanely healthy!

Five minutes would wipe me out, not that that is relative to sanity, just health. But on the other hand...

[John R]

Been walking for at least two weeks now. Most of my stuff is on abstracts thread, but for the remainder, it will be here.
These are straight out of the camera in mode called bold monochrome. Not suitable for many subjects but I experiment.

Good experiment, John. That car looks as if it belongs on your namesake street in Detroit.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

You've got a good model, John.

[John R]

Thanks guys. Yes it does look gritty Russ. But in fact, it's a place that fixes up cars for the local movie and TV industries. Some fabulous cars.

[John R]

Almost home, last block...harsh shadows everywhere...and what should I espy.

Isn't it kind of ironic that a country that made such interesting car designs has opted for the jelly mould or, alternatively, flying brick model?

[John R]

These were also taken in the last two weeks or so. Can't really get out to parks, they are closed.

Street-wise images. On my walks to and from the grocery store.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Both nice.
