The Last Kiss by Skorobeus on Zooomr
Sometimes I have to force myself to find motivation to shoot. I have to make myself look harder and concentrate to find the inspiration to capture a moment. This was one of those times. As I was eating the chocolates that sat out on the coffee table and their numbers dwindled down to one this subtle gesture occurred to me.
This one's for you...
Hanging On by Skorobeus on Zooomr
Decided to take the opportunity yesterday to shoot some of the very interesting icicles hanging from the eaves of my house. An interesting effect happened when I opened the window on the East side of the house to take these shots though... There's a radiator immediately below the window, and so the heat was, well, radiating out into the VERY cold afternoon air and actually causing the icicles to start melting faster. It made for some neat shots as droplets ran down and, as is the case in this photo, would hang from the bottom of the icicle before dropping to an icy demise below.
A Fine Hydrant by Skorobeus on Zooomr
Not a whole lot to say about this hydrant, mainly just using it as a test to see how well this TypePad thing will work as an alternative to Pownce for photo-blogging.
I used a plugin for Aperture called Silver Efex Pro to create this image. I'm very much enjoying its featureset, not yet sure if I'll be throwing down the money to buy it.
