Finding subject matter of interest at a rural 'farm equipment & tractor parts supply' location (aka tractor junkyard) with a 105mm macro lens, shooting close up though not necessarily macro ...

 

' constriction '

In addition to taking my infrared modified camera and shooting for high contrast B&W (see the recent images in this album) in the bright sun, I also had a digital body with the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 mounted to see what I could capture with fixed focal length and close up capability.

 

Here is a screen capture of additional processed images likely be posted to my social media streams in the coming days.

 

  

Offering far more than "just old tractors", there are patterns, textures, shapes and colours to explore. The freedom of experimenting and playing with compositions nourishes the creative soul.

The second in my "The Bruce Rocks" series ...

There is so much to see in the rock of the Bruce. At Little Cove, the waves of Georgian Bay have worn the surfaces of the larger dolomite blocks smooth and smaller rounded rocks are all that remain of others tumbled over each other for countless years.

The boulder beaches of the Bruce are a great place to sit and contemplate. See my recent blog post.

A new series is spawned ...

"The Bruce Rocks" (TBR) is the name of a new photo series featuring close up images filling the frame with the patterns, textures and colours of the rock found on the Bruce Peninsula. I can lose track of time looking at the subtleties in tones, the shapes and textures created by natural forces. Each image has it's own abstract quality and each viewer will see something different. Rather than name the images based on what I see and feel, which could influence the viewer, they will simply be named "TBR - Location (optional) number.

There is something about the rocks of the Bruce, I feel a connection ... 

TBR - Hay Bay II

... but then maybe it's just the whisky  ;-)
