Week 2 - Traditional Landscape

This was kind of a pain to accomplish. Outside of downtown Detroit, the area isn't known for many high vantage points. I really didn't want to get a shot of the Detroit river or the Detroit skyline (I have my reasons). After spending a couple days trying to find a good spot I was getting frustrated. Driving around Saturday with my wife trying to accomplish the challenge, she suggested I pull over near a power station and I managed to get this shot. I'm really happy with the result and I'm definitely going to prioritize a wide angle lens soon. I didn't have my QX1 with us and had to use hers with the 16mm e-mount lens to get this shot. Mine wasn't doing great with the kit 18-135mm.

dPS - Heavy

To showcase "Heavy" for the dPS weekly challenge I went with some custom castings used on printing presses. I spent well over two hours in a shop that builds custom printing presses and this was by far the most intersting and compelling shot I got during the shoot.

My Dearest

This week's challenge was "Shadow". I've been doing a lot of writing at night lately and went for it. There is nothing like writing by candle light for relaxation. Hopefully my dearest appreciates this letter.

Rush Hour

There is a pedestrian crossing over a major freeway in the area. I managed to be nearby during rush hour and felt this did a great job of capturing the transportation theme of the challenge.

Suburban Sun Set

The sun setting over suburban America.

dPS - Minimalism

I am fascinated by the street lights near my house and always look for an excuse to shoot them in different ways. Minimalism was a perfect excuse.

B&W Silhouette

I went for a slightly different take on the idea of a silhouette for this one. I really like how it turned out too.

Week 42 - Minimalist

The sad sparrow is so alone :(

Yellow Finch

A very active finch at the park

Low Landscape

There is a low spot in the park by the house. This was a perfect opportunity to get a low angle landscape shot.

I'm Not Amused

You should be holding these, not me.
