The Shadow Knows

Sometimes I like to just look for shadows while I’m out walking around. Here are two that I found while at Phipps.

Flower Power

Tonight I bring you a random assortment of flowers. To me it’s amazing how flowers can make you forget about the hustle of the day. They seem to have a way of calming a person down.

Hope you enjoy.

A Flower A Day

It’s an Orchid Night

Tonight I have three photos of orchids to share with you.

Hope you enjoy.

Out of the Snow Comes the Tulip

Tonight’s post is a collection of red tulips to keep us all looking forward to spring and warmer weather. I am most definitely looking forward to spring flowers. By the way it is currently 24 degrees.

A Touch of Color

Tonights post is a tulip I shot a while ago. I sometimes like to play with selective color or partial color in a photograph.

A Leaf is Just a Leaf

Tonight photo is a simple macro shot of a couple of leaves that I took at a recent stop at Phipps Conservatory, in Pittsburgh. I really enjoy macro photography and the extremely limited depth of field that you encounter, although it can be very frustrating the results are well worth the time and effort.

This is shot with a Nikon D300 and a Sigma 150mm macro lens.

The Tower of Oakland

Tonight I’m posting a couple of shots of a tower in Oakland, Pa. This is near Heinz Chapel in Pittsburgh. I found this building to be interesting as it seems a little out-of-place next to the modern building. I don’t know what the building is or what it is used for, I just find it fascinating.

If you have any information about the building I would like to know a little more about it.

Waiting

Tonight post is a single image of a group of boats that I found just sitting there waiting to be taken out for a ride. I often look for patterns or repeating shapes to photograph. This image has a repeating pattern that takes you into the photo. I chose to present this image in black and white as I felt that color was distracting to the overall mood of the photo.

Remnants of a Time Gone

Todays post is two photos from a set of smoke stacks from an old factory in Homestead, Pa. The Pittsburgh region was once a major area for steel mills and other factories, thus the nick name the “Steel City”. Today many of the factories are gone, some have survived and there are a few remaining remnants of what once was. The stacks in these pictures are in the parking lot of a movie theater.
