Gary’s been reprocessing some wonderful travel landscapes and he is generating some fantastic results. He is an admirer and collector of Ansel Adams and it’s rubbing off on his black&white imagery. His silhouettes were taken at Scripps Pier in La Jolla at sunset & blue hour. His iPhone image of the intricate weaving of a spiderweb shows incredible detail in the pattern.
Barb always tries to incorporate our monthly themes when she is using her Sony RX100VII camera. She travels frequently and uses the opportunity to apply a theme to her photography taken in a variety of locales. The first two images are sihouette themed. The next three are shadows taken during a recent trip to Colorado to beat the heat. The next 30sec long exposure black&white silhouette was taken before sunrise on a tripod. Her three are “fishing” – finding a vantage point, composing, and waiting for something/someone to enter the frame. Her image of the cyclists on the winding road is a particular travelog-style favorite.
Jim – Jim photographed one of his favorite north county location – Mission San Luis Rey. Here, he found some classic columned walkways. At the Mission’s fountain, he “fished” for the image of the black bird stopping for a drink. The other images, silhouetted & shadowed, were from a recent trip to the beach during the heat wave. His grandson, the “fish”, finally exiting the surf silhouetted. The fencing around a beach rehabilitation area made great shadows late in the afternoon.
Bird photos that were overlooked from an earlier trip this year to Sonny Bono Salton Sea Reserve that fit the silhouette theme were “processed” and shared.
The silhouettes of people watching sunset at Zabriskie Point, color & b&w, was an iphone image from Jan this year.
His Safari Park photos were segways into a discussion about future meet-up possibilities. Since the weather has cooled, photography outings such as Safari Park are doable.
