New Bike in the Old Market

Shape, color and shadow are what interest me in this photo.  The round wheels and bike rack contrast with the square windows and rectangular doors.  The shadow of the bike gives a hint about the time of day and the splash of bright color on the right contrasts with the muted colors in the remainder of the photo.

This is another photo from the 2012 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk in the Old Market district of Omaha, NE.

City Apartment Garden

What do you do when you live in a small downtown apartment and your thumb turns green?  You buy a few pots and put them on the fire escape.

Almost Fall Park Pano

Saturday morning I noticed that the leaves on the trees in my back yard were starting to turn.  I though I'd take a trip to a nearby park to see if I could catch a little Fall color.  That's what I found. very little Fall color.  Only a few trees had started to turn.  On the plus side, the weather was nice and it was a pleasant way to spend an hour or so.
  

You can see a few more photos from the day are here.

The Church Project Continues

A few months ago I started photographing St. Bridget's Church.  Photographing the church, the stained glass windows, the altars and some of the more significant statuary has turned into a larger project than expected.

After the first visit I decided to compile a set of the images into a book to make them easier to share with friends and family.  That changed the nature of the project, increasing the number of images needed for illustration.

After three visits it looks like I'm "almost" half finished with the photography.  There are many stained glass windows and other items that are yet to be photographed.  Some photos will need to be re-shot at better angles or different lighting conditions.  A number of the photos can't be taken until later in the year when the light comes from a better direction.

I've put a few sample images here.  My intention is to finish with the photography before the end of the year.

Photo Night at Omaha Stormchasers

A few members of the Omaha Camera Club spent Saturday evening at Werner Park.

I spent much of the night experimenting with panoramas and other wide format shots.  I also took a few shots of the fireworks after the game.

More photos of the game and fireworks here.
