For this abstracted image, I tried a new technique. In the past, I have used a 50mm lens and swung my camera around, or I have adjusted the zoom or focus while the shutter was open. But I had the idea to hold the lens still using the zoom ring, and then rotate the camera body. I tried this a few times with an all white lights Christmas display, and then a few days later I found this solitary Christmas Tree to photograph. This technique has the potential to be one of my favorite abstract processes.
Using the information on lighthouse locations from LighthouseFriends.com, I’ve created a map of each lighthouse that I’ve visited and photographed. (The numbers are listed in the order that I first visited each lighthouse, hence the wonky order; and, yes, I know that I need to make it back to a few of the lighthouses to do them justice.)
Loving music is one of the first things that brought Sarah and I together; and one band that we both love is the Foo Fighters.
We took the trip to London for the purpose of attending Taylor’s tribute concert, and since we were in London, we decided to visit the sights and why not Paris too? I’ve posted most of my photos from the trip, but here are the photos of us at most of the locations that we visited.
