Pour Spout

Oil Can Project – OCP18

Going to the 40th Annual Remsen Barn Festival of the Arts was good for me in a couple of ways. The most obvious being I was able to support a few artists and bring home more art to hang on my walls (I need to make room first, LOL). I’ll share what I purchased in a later post. I also was able to see what other artists are doing and that always gets my mind thinking (which doesn’t happen often enough).

The best result of my field trip to Remsen is I pulled out my “studio” setup and attempted to photograph a few more items for my Oil Can Project. I tried to go with a natural light setup due to the nice windows upstairs in my apartment but I still need to work a few things out. The session was not a total washout. I salvaged a nice image of an old oil can pour spout. I remember my Grandpa using one of these back when I was a lot younger.

Reflecting Calm

Barge Canal near the Utica Marsh

The other night when I went to the Utica Marsh for the sunset I ended up walking along the barge trail waiting for the sun to get into position. There is a lot of scenery to view along the trail but I am always drawn to the bridges, especially when there is such a great reflection on calm waters.

Rome, NY

My intent was to go to Bellamy Harbor Park last night to catch the sunset. I did get to the park but I wasn’t awe struck by the scene. I might have captured a few good images, we’ll have to see what I find when I review the images.

I did find pass a cool looking scene as I was driving home. Due to the amount of rain we have had there are puddles of water everywhere. I passed this old factory (now the home of American Metal Stamping & Spinning) and the reflection of the sign immediately caught my eye. I turned the car at the very next left and found a parking spot across the street.

My tripod legs can be flattened, allowing me to get my camera almost on the ground.  With this configuration and placing everything next to the puddle allowed me to capture this great reflection.  I liked the portrait orientaion better due to being able to get the whole lamp post in scene.

Delta Lake State Park

The perfect end to a hectic day, sunset at Delta Lake State Park. I had the beach area all to myself, except for a pair of geese…
