Month: February 2016

I went out early this morning again because it was pretty foggy and the fog created a super soft light. I used a 60mm prime lens at f2.8, 1/350 sec., ISO 100 to get this image.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

Walking though my neighborhood I saw this grapefruit on the trunk of an old car. It was the perfect opportunity to get the camera out and photograph.

Enjoy and keep on working on your images!

 

when I took my dog for a walk this morning I discovered this sandwich on the sidewalk. I positioned it into the lower right corner which divides the background equally into cement and lawn.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

It is Spring in Merced, CA. The Almond trees started to bloom and I went out photographing in wonderful warm weather. I used a 60mm prime lens at f2.8 to create this image.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

 

 

 

This is a compositional exercise. Normally photographers are using the rule of thirds to create an intriguing image. In this exercise I challenge you to break that rule and put your subject in one of the four corners of your image. How does it feel to you when you look at your image. Which corner should you use. We start reading from the upper left corner. So for us the westerners it symbolizes “beginning” while the lower right corner symbolizes “ending.” Study your images and talk to friends about them. How do they feel when they look at your image. as always have fun with your camera!

I photographed this cat siting on an old tree. I framed her in the upper right since the tree trunk curved to the lower right.

Enjoy and keep on working on your images!

This is the car I liked the most at the “Autostadt” in Wolfsburg, Germany. Analyse the lines and the design. It is just beautiful. Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

This is an image of a 1912 Bugatti. Enjoy and keep on photographing!

This is a 1955 VW Bug. It is the 1000000 car that rolled from the production line.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

This is a 1928 Alvis. Alvis used to be a British car manufacturer between 1919 and 1967. Notice the steering wheel is on the ride hand side.

Enjoy this image of a beautiful car and keep on photographing!

 

I am currently visiting my parents in Wolfsburg, Germany. Wolfsburg is for Germany what Detroit is for the USA. I had the opportunity with two photographers to visit the so called “Autostadt” and photograph some very special cars. I challenge you to photograph cars this week. Maybe you can go to a car museum, car show or just photograph cars parked on the sidewalk.

I like to start with this beauty, a 1924 Lancia. Enjoy and keep on working on your images.
