Stormy Drain
Another in my neglected storm drain series. This is from the same day as my recent post Storm Drain IV.

Strait Montage
Yet another example of an accidental montage from the Olympus Pen which was not advancing the film properly. I took these shots while testing a series of filters (red, yellow, orange, blue x2, skylight, ND) on the same scene. The camera was handheld but I was trying to get the same framing with each shot so I could compare them easily. It ended up making a nice row of trees along the edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and an archipelago of Trial Islands. I like how it came out, and would have liked it even more with more subdued vertical banding. And while the results are not at all useful as a filter test, had they worked out I would not have had something to show here.

When Out-of-Focus Works
These photos are hopelessly out of focus – not because I planned it that way, but rather because of my own limitations. However, they better express the fun I had with my granddaughter on our first solo outing than any of the ones that are in focus.
I think the top photo might even be enhanced by the soft focus. That is my excuse anyway for not being able to delete these ones and showing them to all of you.

Storm Drain IV
This belongs in my sorely neglected storm drain series and can add another kind of day to the many faces of this location. A storm drain is so named because it channels extra storm related rainfall out to the ocean. Normally I don’t photograph this drain during a storm, but it does seem appropriate to present a storm drain during a storm.

This is a Warning
You may not indulge in reckless enjoyment.
Looking over the images I have ready for future blogs, I realised that several feature signs. Warning signs. A previously unrecognised theme lurked in that folder and is now being shown the light of day.
