My Photography

[ando]

Thanks again, PD. Btw, are trees ablaze with color this week where you live? Take shots! The Northeast is a riot with color now. But I'm dissatisfied with nearly everything I've taken. I know there must be people here who live among sumptuous colored foliage. Share a shot or two! 🙂

Well, there are 8 million of them. Two or three are bound to be cool. 😎

Or even two or three hundred.

My parents took me to the 1964 World's Fair. Seeing the Unisphere (constructed by American Bridge Company, a division of U.S. Steel, from March to August 1963) always raises my spirits.

No, a few bad seeds, but lots of *people willing to be kind and help you if you have a question (for instance)...not a lot of time overall, so keep it brief.

* Yeah, some of them can be seem to be a bit gruff/rough on outside (and maybe in a hurry or focused on what they need to do in order to survive and live their own lives...lots of tourists in NYC), but they're good people...some of the best!

It's a great impression! 

More Queens: along the 7 train/Roosevelt Ave.

Some pics from our walks in the last week, using the point and click dog pulling on lead in the other hand camera on its "auto creativity" setting.

I particularly like the top two.

I don't miss New York at all. But Queens had its moments. Flushing-Corana Park (September, 2022), home of 2 (I believe) World Fairs:

I live about six miles from Flushing-Corona Park but I haven't made my way out there just yet. Worth a trip?

Oh yeah. Pick a nice weekday afternoon and explore, or take a book and pick a spot. Can't comment on the Queens Museum or Space Center (the old World's Fair Observation Tower is slated to reopen soon; check before you go). Every once in a while a big event like the Tennis Championships will bring in mad tourists buzzing about Arthur Ashe Stadium but that's mostly a summertime thing. And if you plan it right you can catch a Mets game at Citi Field across the street (to the east of the 7 stop).

I like photography. I like taking pictures of trees and landscapes mostly. Mainly black and white but I do colour too sometimes.
I like the Pictorialism / Impressionist look.
If anyone is interested here is a link to an album on flickr .... I can't see how to link to my Flickr profile.
Here's a preview...

I particularly like the one of the bridge.

They're nice. My compact camera does random effects and I sometimes find that monochrome has reduced distracting coloured clutter.

Very nice. I like them.

Indeed, someone (I can't remember who but presumably a famous photographer) once said "photograph a person in colour and you capture their clothes, photograph a person in black & white and you capture their soul". I don't agree fully with this statement but I understand what they, and you, mean.

I like the B & W tree photos as well - very atmospheric.

Exceptional!  When I was into photography I took you a pics that I was proud of but they don't match up.  I might dig them up and post them.

Here are four, taken in Northeast Ohio.

That is definitely nicely coloured foliage .

Very nice.

Are those Canadian geese? Peaceful as they are during most of the year, don't veer too close to the pregnant clan during early spring or you'll see a very different side. 🌝

Yes, you can tell by their "chin strap". 



That white mark.

And, yes, you venture around any creature with their newborn....and lookout!  Sometimes though, creatures/animals like cats will bring you their young if they desperately need help and are willing to trust you.

Yes, the circle of possible danger is fairly wide for Canadian geese, though. I was walking along the river earlier in the year when two male geese who were perched in the shallow drifts spotted me walking by, suddenly spring from the water, honking aggressively and landed about thirty feet directly in front of me, each flanking both sides of the path. My instincts told me to make a wide swath around them for they were obviously protecting something. Sure enough, about a hundred meters down I saw about ten females in a small area silently squatting in the grass. I got the message. Many people don't!
