Weekly Photo Challenge: Horizon

Apparent horizon or visible horizon. The line where the earth meets sky.

We’ve got plenty of buildings and trees that block the clean line around here.

First up – Coney Island Horizon

Another clean line separating earth and sky in Cumberland Ohio at The Wilds

Charleston West Virginia Horizon

Hardy Virginia Horizon

Pittsburgh Rainy Thursday Afternoon

On the road to Virginia Horizon

New York City Horizon

And a vertical taken in traffic at the red light Pittsburgh PA

Okay, that’s a pretty good sampling of horizons.

Starting to get too many choices to put up. I’m stopping now and going to bed. I thought about going into an external hard drive and finding British Columbia or Okanogan WA but it’s late.

NIght.

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns

Sounds like a cinch, doesn’t it? From lines to patterns? Organic might have been a better route. Nature.

After reading about this week’s challenge and viewing some fellow bloggers posts, here’s my gallery.

It was suggested to go with the “tiled mosaic gallery” so I thought I’d try it.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Focus

Demonstrate the concept of FOCUS in a new post. Focus. Out of focus. Chain link fence should be this week’s challenge for me.

Focus is an ongoing challenge not limited to this week.

I often shoot through a chain link fence.

Living in the city there’ a lot of it.

Sometimes the fence is in focus and sometimes it’s the blurred fence and the focus on what I see behind the fence. What I was going for in the first place.

A continuous study of depth of field. I am constantly telling my students to develop a photographic practice so one can improve.

Just look at the sharp focus on the garbage, the fence is almost invisible. Why do I always try to shoot something with a barrier between? And why am I attracted to trash? Mmmmm.
