Paving at Night

nobody@ipernity.com (Bruce Dean (Puchinpappy)) — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 08:00:10 +0000

Bruce Dean (Puchinpappy) has posted:

A paving crew was paving the main road through our town at night. It is too hot during the day to work so they have to work at night. Some of the equipment was creating strong vibrations and noise. Since it was 2 in the morning and getting to sleep was going to be difficult, I saw potential in getting some photographs with the interesting lighting their machines were creating.

My wife recently took up watercolour painting as a means of reconnecting with her previous art training. I love her hand, formed by years of playing viola and violin, holding this brush in a new artistic enterprise.

The Sunday Challenge:

Show your hobbies, make a potatoshop/gimp.picmonkey picture show someone else making something, do a still life shot, whatever creativity means to you.

Today, February 15, is the anniversary of the day our Canadian Flag became official. There was a huge debate leading up to this design but most Canadians embrace it now.

July 1, 2017 Canada celebrated its 150 birthday.

I found this one on a rural mailbox by the side of the road.

The Sunday Challenge - Tree

I have always needed a reason to photograph this tree at night so I thought I would finally get around to it for TSC. This tree stands on the grounds of an industrial business park. There is always an amber spotlight on it even though the light is designed to be used for security. I took several normal shots and then I decided to try a couple of the art filters built into my camera. This is the Dramatic Tone setting. I like how it pulled the light off the clouds into the frame.

Common Tern After the Plunge

nobody@ipernity.com (Bruce Dean (Puchinpappy)) — Thu, 10 Sep 2015 07:35:54 +0000

Bruce Dean (Puchinpappy) has posted:

I was at our lake property on a crisp, clear, early September day. There was no wind and the lake was still. I started to hear plunging sounds in the water. I went to the shore to investigate. These Common Terns were having a good time diving for minnows. They would not go down further than their body length and then pop up out of the water to gain altitude and dive all over again.

Stay tuned for more as I process them. They were very difficult to track and capture but I got used to their aerial tactics after several observations and could anticipate when they were going to dive.

Floodlit Elm HDR

Bruce Dean (Puchinpappy) has posted:

For Not the Sunday Challenge. I forgot that I took this photo of the tree from last week on an HDR setting. This one has about 5 exposures merged (this time using Paintshop Pro). For those who did not see the HDR in this week's cedar, I hope this one satiates your appetite for HDR. Remember, this was a night shot with the tree picking up light from an adjacent floodlight. The sky is illumined from the city lights and a big clear moon. The clouds emerge from the over-exposures in the set. 14mm (28 35mm equivalent) lens with fisheye attachment. Olympus M-1.
