The City Below

A macro shot of a wall I saw. I love the patterns on this and the way it looks like a city. It makes me wonder if it is the texture of an actual urban area or just computer generated randomness.

Took a picture of this electronic display while on board Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas. I slowed the shutter and zoomed in while the shutter was open to get this shot. It was my friend who had taught me this technique, to zoom in or out while the shutter is open to get the cool light streaks. I'm not sure if he continues to use this but I certainly try it ever so often.

I went through multiple iterations before I managed to get this shot. I first started far away, trying to catch the entire thing and then slowly walked towards it while still taking pictures at different angles. I like how this one turned out, the simplicity of it all and the stark contrast between the red sculpture and the blue sky.

To me, shots like this have a very relaxing and almost soothing feel to them. The way the light and bokeh play with the picture while giving you a general idea of what the subject is (it's the canopy of a tree) while producing gentle colours and doing away with any strong, harsh edges.

Twist and Shout

A slow shutter, a little zoom, and a little twist. I enjoy playing around with the camera to produce shots like this, lets me try something new. I think I spent about 5-10 minutes redoing this shot using the same technique. It wasn't easy trying to get a steady turn and zoom while not shaking and having everything centered, and since I had to turn the camera on its side, I couldn't use a tripod to stabilize the shot.

Zooming in on a light source can produce some amazing effects. Yet another example of how I enjoy zooming in while using a slow shutter to create awesome light-trails, it's a chance for me to do something not many people do.

For some this might be nightmare fuel. Luckily for me, I don't sleep, so no nightmares.

This started out as me just trying to take a cool picture of the rabbit in a display case. I never considered both the reflections of the rabbits or the reflections inside the case it was housed in. Luckily one shot was all that I needed to get this awesome picture.

In Darkness There is Freedom

Always wanted to do a reflection shot in the city. While not the sharpest picture in the set, it was when I was purposely setting my Petzval art lens to be slightly out of focus to further accentuate the bokeh effect that it produces. I'm glad a car managed to come through and splash the puddle too, though at that time, I might have been too focused on taking the picture to notice the car coming towards me.

Unfortunately, I do not know what language this is or what object this is either. It is one of the problems I have when taking pictures, I focus so much on photographing that I don't pay attention to what matters. I realized at one point that I went through the entire American Museum of Natural History without looking at any exhibit, I just breezed through trying to take pictures.
