Red Stout

Oil Can Project – OCP17

When I started this project over a year ago, one of the first oil cans I found was a yellow, stout looking little can. Late last year I found the yellow can’s red big brother. The cans are pretty much the same but this one has a longer nozzle. I realize the color is unimportant in these B&W images but if you compare the two ‘stout’ images you can envision the color associated with each one.

Oil Can Project – OCP15

  

July? My last post related to this project was back in July 2018? Damn! The sad part of this comment is that I went on a spree a few months ago and found quite a lot of new subjects but the inspiration to photograph them never struck. Luckily, yesterday was another consignment shop excursion and I walked away with this beauty. I assembled my setup for capturing these images and went to town on all the oil cans I haven’t photographed. Fair warning… there will be more to come. 🙂

Trail’s End

Taughannock Falls State Park

All the B&W processing I have been doing lately on my Disney pics had me wondering about a few of my old summer images from a trip to the state parks around Ithaca. I had posted a couple of images of Taughannock Falls after the trip but this particular view seemed to escape my notice. Maybe my current fascination with B&W images has also been fueled by my recent purchase of an Ansel Adams desk calendar… maybe?

Setting on Abandon

Riverside Park, Indialantic, FL

If I do not have the time or inclination to drive very far for a sunset picture while I’m in Palm Bay, Florida, I have a few “go to” spots that have never let me down. Riverside Park in Indialantic is one of those places. The park is on the Indian River so it is facing West. The 192 Causeway is always in view if I want something with lights after sunset. And there are numerous docks in various states of upkeep to focus my camera on.

Although it was sunset and the sky was very colorful, I loved the look of this dock with the clouds in the sky. To me, the colors where not as important which pushed my decision to process this one as monochrome. This isn’t the first image with this dock. Back in 2015, my first visit to the Melbourne/Palm Bay area I captured Simplicity.
