Sweet Ride

Child, Swing, Monochrome, Girl

This sweetie was enjoying her backyard swing set. The wind-tossed hair makes this a captivating image for me.

I took this photo from about 70 feet away, just sitting and watching the grandchildren having fun on a sunny, breezy, early spring afternoon.

Perfect Little Piggies

Baby, Toes, Feet, Sleeping

I caught this sweet, newborn while napping with his perfect, little toes on display.

This is the latest edition to our family; a grandson.  Born a few months ago and a few states away, this was our first opportunity to meet him.  We had a great time with him and his siblings, of which you will see more of in future posts, I’m sure.

I like this photo because it does focus on the foot and those perfect little round piggies.  There is, also, something very sweet and peaceful about a sleeping newborn.

Emotional Distancing

Lighthouse, Monochrome, Emotional

In times of darkness and difficulty, it is only natural that we look to The Light.

This is a very emotionally moving image for me. Without getting too sappy; this image speaks what my heart has been feeling amidst the recent chaos, confusion, and wholesale upheaval of our world.

In these times, I’m not looking to some activist group or the government or some celebrity or even well-intentioned family and friends for clear guidance and direction. I look to the Light of the World, Christ Jesus and His Word to bring understanding, direction and peace to my life.

I got up early to capture the sunrise at Algoma, WI.  However, the sun and sky didn’t provide what I was hoping for. Still, I kept shooting.  After all, I’d made the effort to get there, maybe something of interest would emerge.  I thought it was pretty much a “learning experience” until I viewed this frame on the computer. The color was pretty bland, so I decided to convert it to monochrome and…  Well, I think I found a diamond in the rough.  It’s not a great “photographic effort” technically, but it moves me.  (That’s why we call it, “Art.”)

I think this image is much more powerful when viewed larger. You can see a full-screen image by clicking on the photo.

Infinitely Glassy

Bottles, Reflection, Infinity Mirror, Glass

The infinity mirror effect of these unique glass bottles is mesmerizing.  The reflective nature of the different shaped bottles, combined with the infinity mirror effect captured my gaze for quite some time.  This is a work of modern art on display at the Milwaukee Public Museum.  I thought a monochrome treatment worked well for this display.

One of the most interesting aspects of this image – at least, for me – is the fact that you can’t see my reflection in this image.  I’m standing right in front of these reflective bottles (about 2 feet away) and there is nothing of me, or others in the room, to be seen.

Descent to Vertigo

Steps, Woods, Monochrome, Roche-A-Cri State Park
Going down! These steps are part of the arduous 303 step stairway to a scenic view at Roche-A-Cri State Park near Friendship, Wisconsin. It’s quite a climb to the top but worth the view and a welcome place to rest before beginning the descent.

I took a few photos of the stairway and thought this one was most interesting because of the turns and the angle of the shot.  This was shot with a wide-angle lens (12mm). I processed this photo in both color and monochrome and asked my wife to pick the one she preferred. She liked the B&W best. So here it is.

Drawn to The Light

Lighthouse, Kewaunee, WI, Lake Michigan, Monochrome, B&W

The light dances upon the waves of Lake Michigan as it gently leads you to the Kewaunee lighthouse and the powerful sun beyond.

I snapped this image some time ago and finally got around to processing it. I decided to make it a monochrome image, intentionally making it softer is some areas and gritty in others.

I particularly like the cross lines created by the tiny light reflections on the waves; much more so than the lines radiating from the sun. This was taken from shore using a telephoto lens.

Praise from On High

Monochrome, B&W, Lighthouse, Sunbeams, Kewaunee, Sunrise
The bright, morning sun and a congregation of clouds created a dramatic scene over the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier; located on the western shore of lake Michigan.

When I woke up, I saw promising clouds in the sky and made my way to the lake shore to catch the sunrise. I got some good shots as the sun made its assent but decided to hang around a bit longer to see if the sun would produce a few sunbeams once it got higher in the sky. As you can see, the wait paid off.

I decided to make the image monochrome because I believe the subtle contrast between light and dark are easier to detect when you are viewing the monochrome tones, as opposed to multiple colors.

This image was captured from Selner Park. Normally I get my shots from the beach but this shot was taken from a slightly elevated position – about half-way up the stairway from the parking lot to the upper level of the park.

The Coldest Lonely

Lighthouse, Monochrome, Kewaunee, Cold, Ice, Fog, Lake Michigan
Sub-zero temperatures and open water create an interesting blend of ice, frost and fog around the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

I took this photo from shore with a telephoto lens which makes the lighthouse appear relatively close to the shore. In fact, the Kewaunee pier extends hundreds of feet into the lake. Of course, the buildup of Ice along the shore also contributed to the closer-than-reality effect.

This is one of the images I captured back in the bitter cold of January, 2014. It was one of the coldest days I’d ever been out shooting. I thought a monochrome treatment would bring out the dramatic fog and cold, lonely feel of this scene.

Sleeper Hold

Infant, Baby, Monochrome, Sleeping, Holding

There is nothing as peaceful as a sleeping baby. This little one seems comforted by holding the thumb of the one holding her.

I like this image because of the peaceful warmth it instills in me. I also love the contrast in size and age between the two hands. A great study in texture and tone.

This is an image featuring my wife and a newborn niece. A very sweet baby who was very cooperative…as sleeping babies tend to be.

Considering the Next Move

,
Child Portrait, Monochrome, B&W, CandidWith the look on her face I can’t help but wonder, what was she thinking at the moment this photo was snapped.

This image was taken during an afternoon with family in Ohio. Our granddaughter was away from the group, exploring the surroundings at a park.  As you can see, I was keeping my eye (and focus) on her and snapping photos.
