Bridges in Cleveland

I took this photo a few years ago and recently processed it. Two of the many bridges in Cleveland and I like the abstract lines of the steel.

Bowling

A bad back prevented me from bowling, but I took a few shots with the camera and decided to get a little creative.

Krypton

I'm working on a new print called Krypton. It will be up this weekend. It's a long exposure photograph taken at Fairport Harbor Beach Park. Here's a small teaser image...

My new favorite photo, of my own work

Last week I went to the local state park beach just before sunset. I've been working on my current set of abstract photos. During that shoot, I came up with my current favorite piece to date. 

Headlands Beach Winter Abstract has a wonderful mix of colors and soft textures. The image is direct from the camera, the only manipulation was done in Lightroom, boosting the colors, contrast, clarity, etc. 

I love that this photo looks like it could have been taken on a plane, over the clouds. In reality, it was taken on a snow covered beach. 

In the near future, I plan to get a large print made of this photo. 

Fire

The fire was beautiful and warm. Playing around in Lightroom, I worked the image for a realistic version, then tried a second version in black & white the gives it a very abstract look.

New abstract images

I've been working to build up a collection of long exposure background images to use in abstract art pieces. Below is one of Lake Erie as viewed from Lake Erie Bluffs. The other make work as a texture in some other project.
