Weekly Photo Projects, Week 10

Week 10: Reflection
Pewetoll Island
A little late with the blog posting because I was a little late with one of the photos for this week. For +Project 52 B&W I went and grabbed a quick shot of Pewetoll Island (also shown here). The choppier water left me unsure about how the reflection would turn out, but I like that it's not as detailed as past shots I have of it. I love the detail in the island and trees. This G3 is really impressing me, still.

Week 10: Depth of Field
Charlotte's Web?
I have a timetable for +Weekly Photo Project 2013. I like to shoot and upload by Sunday so I can publish my blog post on Monday. I got out to shoot more this week, but each time out I was too wrapped up in what I was shooting that I forgot about shooting for this. Also in the back of my mind was the thought that I could stage something or find something in the garden to shoot. And then Sunday afternoon hit. I found these webs on the side-yard fence and shot a couple frames of them then went looking for other stuff. Got them into Aperture and these were the clear winners (once I threw out a version of a shot I'd used before for something else). I really like how you can easily see the area in focus both on the fence and the webs.

Alabama Hills Scouting

I got sidetracked in blogging. I skipped Christmas and New Year, then all the sudden it was the end of January! So this continues photos from my Thanksgiving trip. My other posts are: The Golden Arches, Panoramas from the Road, and Manzanar.

Having gotten down to the Lone Pine area and the rough location of the Mobius Arch, I needed to take a scouting trip to find the actual arch, and see what else is around. This is the Alabama Hills Monster that "greets" you as you enter the area.

Instagram Posts for the Week of Feb. 27

Image
I find that I post more freely on Instagram. Probably because I don't feel the need to come up with a substantial piece of writing to go with the photo. So I thought I'd try wrangling up my IG posts of the week into one post here on the blog. So without further adieu...

Burney Falls

Image
Burney Falls, in McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, has been on the list of waterfalls to shoot from the second I discovered it. This made all my previous waterfalls look like little trickles. But shooting here exposed a number of issues with gear and timing and so I left with photos that I was pleased with, but not thrilled with. In fact, it has taken me about a month to come back to these photos, that's how disappointed I was with them.
Burney Falls is a unique waterfall in that it has the typical waterfall action of a river falling over a 129-foot cliff, but it also has underground springs coming out the side of the cliffs, which you can see off to the sides of the main fall. So the falls look like this pretty much year round, which is good when trying to plan a trip.

I had originally planned to shoot these falls in late fall/early winter of November 2017 on my Thanksgiving trip that ended in Lone Pine, CA. Due to time and weather issues, that was abandoned. At that tim…
