New start on the old blog, again...

With the new year, comes a new start photographically.

I'm going to try and post 2 or more times per week. I'll be shooting at least one artistic image per day using my newest tool. Nikon D300S with an 18-200mm lens. Here are tonight's images:

The snow was flying tonight, giving the lights all halos.













and same shot in black and white with just a slightly tighter crop:

Ice falls  from the West Canada Creek in Remsen.

I was in downtown Gloversville the other day and came upon this alleyway. Now as you know I'm looking at buildings all day long at work. I don't get to see a lot of 'new' structures, especially in this area of NY.

I've learned to appreciate some of the features of the old ones, however. I love the texture and lighting of this shot, evidently there is a light well running all the way up in the center of the building.

I also manipulated it a bit...

here's a little vignette I had to shoot, and manipulate just a tad...

The camp we stayed in had some neat woodworking touches:

I can see making several of these... only with wooden support vs cast iron. It will look particularly nice in cherry.

I don't know what the wood is, I think Mahagony, very simple, yet very comfortable bench in front of the fireplace.
