Weekly Photo Projects, Week 20

Week 20: Contrasting Colors
The SF Night Sky
I haven't posted photos for my projects for the last couple weeks mainly because they've not been photos I enjoyed taking, never mind looking at. But these I enjoyed. I love San Francisco. It has some great photo opportunities day or night, but I really liked my night shots. The theme for +Weekly Photo Project 2013 was Contrasting Colors, and I think we have that covered.

Week 20: Framed
Hemmed In SF
For my black and white group our theme was Framed. I chose this street shot originally for it's close in, hemmed in, feeling, that only seems to get worse as you head down the hill. Then someone pointed out all the "frames" on the buildings. That works too. As is my usual I did the conversion in Silver Efex Pro 2 and in an unlike me decision, put more grain into the picture. I think I wanted to give it a "street" or "edgy" look to it. I don't think I pulled it off.

Dad, in his throne A week ago my dad died, succumbing to a fast and aggressive cancer located in his neck diagnosed in May. He was 78 and passed peacefully at home. Dad wasn't a talker, a trait jokingly (honestly?) said to be passed on to other Harley men, which made growing up with him trying. He wasn't the hands on teacher type, I think he just expected me to know how to do things or how to behave. But, when you misbehaved you could be assured of him letting you know about it.

Monday, as just about everyone knows, Apple gave a peek at a couple of its updates in the operating systems arena, both mobile and desktop. Most people knew what to expect in the first half, OS X Lion is coming in July. And although I knew what most of the updated stuff was going to be I still found myself wanting to update right then and there. I mean why wouldn't you? It's $30, and I don't have to run down to a store to get it. Actually, I couldn't if I wanted to, but that's another story. But it's the second half of the presentation that was more, interesting, if you're an iOS person.

Forcing a Photo

Image
A decent, but VERY processed shot **Disclaimer: Today's post is kind of long.** I recently decided to try my hand at a competition I saw on Google+, the +10000 PHOTOGRAPHERS 1st Contest - Natural Water Photos  being put on by  +10000 PHOTOGRAPHERS . There's no tangible prize except notoriety on what some think is a ghost town  social network. Shortly after having made the decision to enter this, and deciding I wanted to use a new photo for the competition,  Digital Photography School published this post  about dynamic landscapes by +Todd Sisson . The post itself is a teaser for his newly published book Living Landscapes .  Featured in the article was this image which instantly caught my eye.
