Hello Photographers! This space is dedicated to a group of photo enthusiasts who will be diplaying their photography at the Fall 2011 Olympia Arts Walk. We have all studied under the guidance of Barbra Kates, and this will be our first public display capturing our learning, for some, over the last year and a half. Our exhibit is being hosted by Don's Camera, which has so graciously donated the front of the shop for our work. The Blogspot is for all committed entrants to post weekly images based on the weekly photo assignments.

Off the Beaten Path

Although I have visited "Recycled Spirits of Iron" for the last 12 years or so I had never met the sculptor, Dan Klennert, until recently.  I constantly find new and interesting things at his place on the way to Mt. Rainier and this time I asked for and was given permission to use these images in the exhibit should I choose to do so.  Enjoy these examples of "Ex-nihilo" which he says is latin for "something made out of nothing.  These images were taken with a Nikon D300 at 1/500 to 1/1000 and f4.5-f6 with an ISO of 800.  See if you can find the sewing machine inside a large horse, and imagine the 10-15 foot high front wheel of an old fashioned bicycle!

Very Nice!! I love the horse shoe one the most. The horse shoes create an interesting texture to the image, the way the light plays off the edges of the shoes. Great composition too.
