A-Rated Aeration

IMG_9224_5_6

These doors are along the side of the old fire hall in Port Renfrew. Up above is a siren in what looks like a belfry. I think that is part of the fire hall, but you never know. Perhaps it goes off every time someone flushes something they shouldn’t like used motor oil, condoms or white rabbits (as the Roto-Rooter guy called them last time he cleaned my drains).

Jordan River III

 

IMG_9199-Edit

This building is next door to the one featured in two earlier posts Jordan River and Jordan River II.  These were taken on a trip to Port Renfrew in February, other posts from that trip can be seen here.

In this series I like best the hard shadows, especially those on the ground that are from the other building linked to above.

Jordan River II

IMG_9205-Edit

The next few days are digital photos from my trip to Port Renfrew in February. These views are from one of the buildings I stopped to photograph at Jordan River on the way to Port Renfrew. A different side of the same building is in an earlier post called Jordan River. I was conflicted on how best to photograph this side of the building, and ended up with a few options. Some of them are included here.

Silver and Grey

IMG_9475-2

In a recent post, Red and Green, I asked if anyone tired of the red cabin wall. No one responded to that question, but if that was too much, here is the other side of the cabin, in black and white. It has corrugated iron, nice new shiny galvanised iron, it even has some indoors. I don’t see much of that around, and am jealous of those that have it in abundance in any state from rust to new. So you can imagine my pleasure when I discovered that not only was one side of the cabin perfect for some film diptychs, but the other was perfect for some digital black and white of corrugated iron.

Floss Fliptych

2014-HF-2-15

This photo of a dental-floss thingy (what the heck are they called anyway?) is from the Olympus Pen when it was not advancing properly. In this instance the advance slipped a bit and there is a partial double exposure. I sure wish I could get this effect on demand. My first ever fliptych post was of one of these oral hygiene devices which I had never noticed lying on the ground till I took that picture. A few weeks later I see another one and had to take another fliptych. This time I was trying to get the subject lined up better and toward the middle of the combined image.

Brush in Need of Comb

This tangle of brush was photographed on a very dull and overcast day in Beacon Hill Park a couple of months ago. The light was not great, but these trees were showing off their bark well enough to be worth a shot.

Night Quake

IMG_0297

In my post of a couple of weeks ago called Night Trees I showed this view, static and mostly upwards at the stars.

I took a lot of half-minute exposures and after a while I got a bit bored and started pivoting the camera on one or, as in this case, two legs of the tripod.

I quite like how it came out.
