The show

Hello all,

This week I am participating in a Photography show as a fundraiser for a local Public Access network. It is featuring three of my photographs.

The White Bird

This picture is from the St. Louis Zoo Aviary. I love the composition of this shot and the subject is beautiful. I altered the colors to suit the photo.

The Window looking Up

This is a window in a building near the Capitol in Springfield Illinois. I was trying to use an extreme perspective to change the image and let the viewer come up with what they want to see. Patterns and shapes is what this image is all about. The window is secondary.

Nature vs Man

This is one of my early shots with my Nikon. I was trying to highlight the shape of the tree and show the difference in size of the building and the tree. I experimented in Sepia and made it work to my satisfaction.

These are all studies in composition and color. They all taught me what to do and what not to do to make my future pictures better. You can take a bad photograph of a beautiful thing just by forgetting the rules of good composition and no editing will recover your picture from that.

Until next time.

J.R.
