Picture Perfect Tuesday: Reflection
I often challenge myself to see the opportunity of an image in every day things. Like the beautiful day reflected in glass.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Marsham Street
Today I present to you “Marsham Street, London England”. This was shot with my click and shoot, hand-held, leaning on the side of a building for stability. When planning to do any night photography, I’d recommend bringing a tripod along, however this shot was unplanned so I used what was available and took a long exhale as I depressed the shutter.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: The Big Apple
Little known fact about me: I was trained in photojournalism. This is why I often choose to document things other people would ignore. Like this image of a homeless fellow catching some zzz’s at a side entrance at NBC Studios in New York City. It’s not pretty, but it’s real.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Moulin Rouge
For today’s Picture Perfect Tuesday, I give you the one and only Moulin Rouge.
For this image, I desaturated the background in Photoshop to make the sign “pop”.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Temple Bar
Time to look on the brighter side of life! After a few weeks of gaols, graves and skulls, it’s time for something a bit more upbeat. I snapped this moment in time at The Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland. I used a small table top tripod and a slow shutter speed to show the buzz of activity at this popular pub. The sepia tone was an in-camera filter. This image (and most images I share) are either taken with a click and shoot camera or my iPhone, proving that you don’t need a lot of fancy gear to take great pictures. But yes, fancy gear is nice!
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Kilmainham Gaol
I seem to be on a bit of a morbid roll with Picture Perfect Tuesdays, but sometimes the most amazing shots come from sad, lonely places. Like this image of the “death row” at Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin, Ireland. During its operational years (1796 – 1924) Kilmainham played an important part in Irish history as “home” to many leaders of Irish rebellions. Of course, today its a museum.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Père Lachaise Resident
This is another image that I snapped while in Paris, more then a few years ago, at Père Lachaise Cemetery. We wandered through this cemetery as ever music lover does to pay respected to Jim Morison’s resting place. However, his grave is not what I am sharing today. This cemetery is very old and full of interesting things to photograph. Like this:
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Doorway to Salvation
This image was taken at St. Michan’s Church located in Dublin Ireland. This old church was simple, yet beautiful. Interesting fact about St. Michan’s Church, underneath it are five long burial vaults with mummified remains of many of Dublin’s most influential 17th, 18th and 19th century families and apparently one crusader.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Barn Storm
This week I am sharing one of my favourite images from rural Alberta, Canada. This was shot with **gasp** film – Tri-X 400 to be exact – then hand printed by yours truly in the darkroom on colour paper to get the sepia tone, then scanned. BAM! That’s how we used to do it.
