Zane ~ Drama

Metadata: 1/200s, F/11, ISO 200, FL 18mm, WB Cloudy, resolution 212.   I spent a mid morning photographing in the old Bigelow Neighborhood.  This is the balcony of the old Bigelow house.  I was interested in the many architectural curves of the rails jusxtaposed against the straight lines of the siding and rail stops, and the underlighting.  The underlighting is actually a reflection of the sun hitting the white porch deck and reflecting under the eaves.  The light hit the rounded areas softly as to bend around.    The blue door on top lends mystery; what could be up there inside the gable?

Zane ~ Unusual Roadway Sign

Metadata: 1/800S, F/9, Max Ap 4.5, ISO 400, 35 mm, WB Daylight.

One of the stops on the way to Paradise is Whitaker's mountaineering center in Ashford.  The people there are full of positive energy in preparation for their summit climbs -- smiles, purposed hum of activity, and interesting gear.  It may be that the sign will help them from becoming lost on the 2 acre property. 

The image was taken sitting on the grass, lens pointed up, no tripod, in very bright sun.  The sign is wacky, and I wanted to capture the off-centeredness of the many angles.
