Series One
Well, it was a fun afternoon of photography with the new camera, and I think a few of the pictures are worth sharing. Here are a few and some narative on each:
We all face fears, and sometimes they take the form
of going to places we do not know or understand...
For me a recurrent theme is a graphical element to
the image I am seeing. If I can combine this with a
strong texture, all the better...
If the Tin Woodsman had a case of rust this bad,
Dorothy would have been in a lot of trouble.
These first three shots were taken in by an abandoned silver mine near Searchlight Nevada.
Sometimes people have too much time on their hands...
Sometimes WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands...
What do you see in this rock formation? I have named
this shot Easter Island Misfit… You be the judge.
The previous three were taken on the road between Sandy Valley Nevada and Kingston California.
This was once a place of activity,
but that had to be long ago...
They used to raise cattle in this parched desert?
That is hard to believe, but it must have been true...
Reminds me of the Three Bears… wierd...
The desert is not completely dead, but during the
day you would be hard pressed to find anything
other than sunbathing crickets out and about in
the 105 degree heat.
Again, back to the graphical theme for me. There
is something about the harsh demeanor that
draws my attention.
Finally, one last example of graphical content and
texture. I love this shot for unknown reasons other
than there is a lot more going on in the shot than
just a nozzle and pipe. For me the depth of the
colors and grain work well.
These last six shots were taken along Route 164 between Nipton California and Interstate 15. I noticed it to the side of the road in the middle of literally nowhere and had to make my way in to take a few shots. This site was definately the best stop of the day for me.
For those technically minded, the EXIF information is preserved in the larger images. If you wish to view the information right click on the image and check the properties and there should be an EXIF tab there with the details form the original.
More images later…
