Pixel Darkroom Photography

I’m working on different perspectives. I still haven’t gotten to where I like but this is another exercise while hiking. Thanks to Michael for putting up with me.

I’ve been working to get different points of view. I’ve had different points of view in the last few images but the ones that I’m thinking about require different “hardware”. This is closer, though, to some aquatic image. I had the camera very close to the water and held my hand underneath so I could feel when the little waves are too close. I did manage to get the camera and the filter wet as well, but not like David Hobby, who dumped it in the water almost entirely. One hundred days left.

Buntzen Lake in Anmore was definitely full today.

I like photographing nature more and more. This was my first frame today. I did a bunch more afterwards but this one I ended up liking the most. Believe it or not, this whole water is gone during the day as it is one of the spots where the Pacific Ocean pulls away its tide in the morning. A beautiful place that smells like sea water. I have shot a few images here of which one is part of the 365 project and you can find it here. Here’s Day 193.

With the coming of the spring there are so many things and places that change because of blooming flowers. They all go away so quickly as well. I found these in the same place where I shot my first photo from this project. I like this image because it’s so simple.

Another shot from White Rock, BC. A beautiful place, which reminds me a very little bit of Étretat in Normandy. Only a bit though, because Étretat has more rocky cliffs and they speak more French.

I know it looks a bit like another photograph of mine shot earlier some morning, except that this is a night exposure of 25 seconds or so and I cooled down the temperature in post production. The city lights gave it a warm color, similar to the one in this shot. I liked the cool version better. The long exposure also made for the clouds to run away. Here goes day night 97.

Moon in the sky and city lights lighting the clouds. Long exposure at night.

Still nature. So still that you could hear the flowers dry as you stare at them. I had fun with it. I realize that there are so many things I want to shoot and if I have more ideas I need to take the one that I cannot do on a different day. Such as this one. I couldn’t shoot it tonight and post it some other day whenever I ran out of ideas. Nor could I have waited for these flowers to dry even more. Actually umm… I could have. Just like with the pumpkin on day fourteen. More to come.
