Photography Close To Home

Hi All,

Welcome to My Photographic Observations.

I hope everyone is staying safe and social distancing in these weird times.

Today I have three photographs from the last couple of years that I would share and talk about.

Sometimes we have all these plans to photograph a landscape that is not very close to where we live.
Nice landscapes in the country or in another country. I tend to look local as a lot of us do to see what can be found. In my area there is always subjects that have been photographed many times because they are photogenic.
At times you might be in your car in a side street parking area and the conditions are just right.
This particular morning before sunrise I had parked for a little while as to let the fog clear a little.
I liked the line of the road and just the general warmth of the incandescent lights.


The trees gave a skeletal feel which I liked also.

The next photograph was at a nearby park and as I walked around and it there was a water feature with a few little ponds. I played around until I got the composition I wanted making sure that I was featuring the little waterfall.


I didn't want the background and using a longer shutter speed to blur the water but still give some texture in the water.

The last photograph was at night and I went around a park that was of the main road. There was an old observation platform of which the stairs had been removed. I liked the lights they used to illuminate the platform and I added some light of my own with a torch.


I thought the contrast of the orange/red on the platform and the nice blue of the sky made for a nice contrasty image. I used just enough light on the grass so could see the foreground.
All the photographs were within a twenty minute drive from where I live.
All photographs were from a couple years back but for this post wanted to basicaly show what is around within a twenty minute give or take five minutes.

Thankyou for taking the time to read. Thoughts and comments always appreciated.
