Along the Danube on Dec. 26: Light and Shadow


It was a sunny day as I walked along the Danube in Ulm, Germany.  I am  constantly searching for interesting light and shadow, which I found under this bridge that connects Ulm to Neu Ulm.

A Little Vision

With a little vision you can make something that at first looked dull into something of interest.

Quanity or Quality? Making a photograph

A few thoughts on making a photograph.
Making Photographs | www.capturingexposures.com

Digital cameras allow us to take more photographs in a shorter space of time and to publish them within seconds. It's literally a snap!

Less is more. You won't really become a better photographer by simply snapping off a lot of random shots. And simply snapping away doesn't mean that you can replace quality with quantity, does it.

Making a photograph takes intent, knowledge, focus and, yes, hard work. Anyone who attempts to claim otherwise is being either naïve or ignorant. So, get out there and practice with intent and focus. Learn to look, see and think. Bring it all back to the darkroom and make that photograph you have in your mind’s eye.

Enter Winter: Fog, Frost and Grays

We have left fall and have entered the beginning of winter here in the area of Ulm, Germany. The mix of fog, frost and different tones of gray converging on farmers' empty fields are intriguing.

Warsaw Architecture from the Inside Out - Part 3

A HUGE mall called ZÅ‚ote Tarasy (Golden Terraces) was directly across the street from our hotel. I was taken by the massive geometric design of the roof's architecture. So, with camera in hand I ventured inside.

A little Warsaw on a cold Nov. weekend - Part 1

We were in Warsaw, Poland last weekend for a wedding. It was cold. Brrr. I'm still chilled!

We stayed at a nice hotel smack in the middle of the city within a stone's throw of the Palace of Culture and Science.

2. Read about photography from its history to how-to articles.

3. Look at other photographers' work.

4. Repeat!

A Ceiling Lamp, Stairs and Shadows

It's all about the light.

Ordinary stairs are only ordinary when there is nothing to see. Look for the light and see the shadows turn the mundane into something to look at.

Geometry of Light and Shadow

I am so drawn to shadows. I find the ordinary things in my apartment make for extraordinary subjects especially when sun in on my side. Light & Shadow: A black & white photographer's best friend.

The Boats on the Danube One Week Apart

These two photographs were taken on a Friday in Oct. at approx. the same time one week apart. These Danube river boats called Ulmer Schachtel are tied up near the dam.

The first one was on a sunny cloudy day and the second on a foggy misty day.

As Luck Would Have It - Again at the Dam

Last Friday morning I went to the dam (Ulm, Germany) to take some more photographs. As luck would have it I had some nice light which, of course, gave me some great shadows. Not to mention the wonderful geometry of lines.

Light in the Late Afternoon in my Living Room

It's nice when light comes to you. It makes for a black & white photograph when it illuminates the ordinary and makes mundane subjects objects to be seen.

The Damn

 A few kilometers from my place sits a dam. It's a small dam but a dam nonetheless. All the years I have lived here I never once ventured across the dam. That all changed this past Sunday morning, a cloudy fall morning that was both warm and cold.

I was chasing light and shadow.
