Sculpture Court Puddle Reflections

With raindrops.

Without.

Wet pavement and textured concrete.

Trying to find attribution to sculpture court artwork is challenging on the CMOA website.

Monday afternoon

We need rain but it’s coming so fast and furious on Tuesday, it’s running off and forming problems on  roadways, causing flooding in some areas.

 

In context.  Sculpture Court Carnegie Museum of Art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I Love When Someone Else is Driving

And I’m in the front passenger seat with my camera out of the bag.

Shoot!

’cause we just ran out of the swim meet when it started to pour.  

Photo opportunity.

The magic of wet pavement. The sky growing dark.

Thanks Erika for driving.   I turn the ride home into a car headlights in the rain reflection study. 70-200 L series lens on the Canon 5D Mark ii   Trying to hold it steady in a moving car another challenge.headlight refelctions 4

City Pumpkins and Bicycles

 

Lots of people head to the farm stand or the farmer’s market or even the Giant Eagle to get a pumpkin.

A bit rainy today but what a colorful surprise to see pumpkins on display on Carson Street in the South Side. School had a day off for the observance of Yom Kippur so I made good use of a midweek vacation day.   I was on my way to see my printer, Tom, so couldn’t stop but swung around and parked briefly, got out and crossed the street.  The bus with the bicycle was a bonus in one of the shots.  I liked the double yellow lines and the bumper converging and the repeat of the bicycle on the bus AND in front of the Hardware Store.  Next time I am going in the hardware store but I had a lot of errands to run so didn’t make time today.  Next time!

 

Snippet of City Skyline

A rainy day.  Columbus Ohio.   Shot through glass,  across the Scioto river from COSI (Center of Science and Industry) A tad underexposed for the trees looking at it now.

The Art Deco building on the left in LeVeque Tower, a half foot taller than Washington Monument. Detail of tower below.

A different city skyline from my usual Pittsburgh photographs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Umbrella Woman in Oakland

Thursday night. Just finished shooting a poet for her chapbook photo at Frick Fine Arts.  Started to rain. Stabilize camera on a sycamore tree. Experiment with wet pavement/light reflections. Cable remote so no camera shake. Cathedral of Learning behind. Enter stage left- Woman in a raspberry sherbet coat, a huge black umbrella strolls into line of vision.

The Umbrella of Oakland, Pittsburgh
As if casting sent her, she entered the scene on cue.
