Wet Brick Streets
I was doing some product photography in my studio yesterday and when I walked outside to leave I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was raining. I wound up being quite delayed in getting to my truck because I can never resist shooting in the streets outside my studio when it’s raining. I was soaked through to the skin by the time I was finally ready to drive home but I was happy to have had the chance to do some creative work just for myself for a change.
Carnival Colors
It’s been raining a lot here lately. One nice thing about the rain is the way it makes everything reflective and colorful at night.
Mean Streets
It was raining last night when I walked out of my studio to go home so instead of walking straight to my truck I made a detour through the neighborhood with my camera and grabbed a few shots for myself.
Two States of Water
It has been miserably hot lately so I wasn’t shy about getting good and wet in this cool, refreshing fountain the other afternoon in order to create this composition composed of repetitive elements. It’s nice to be able to rely on weatherproof cameras and lenses once in a while.
Walking in the Rain
I stood here in the rain for a long time waiting for someone to walk through this composition and be in an interesting position when the traffic lights turned yellow. Do I need to say why I wanted the lights to be yellow?
Caution: Wet Floor
I was walking past this night club the other day and I looked through the door and saw this man scrubbing the floors. The lights reflecting in the floor caught my eye so I asked the man if I could step inside and grab a few shots. He asked me why, so I pointed out the reflections to him. He agreed that they looked pretty cool and told me to go ahead and shoot. It never hurts to ask.
Traffic
It was raining the other afternoon and I spent some time wandering the wet streets around my studio and shooting for fun. I haven’t made a panoramic format image in a while but this scene called out for it. Click on it to see the big size.
