Hinged

Stormchasing can be an unstoppable beast during the summer, where I feel like I’m non-stop on the road or processing weather photos. It’s actually been a nice break the past 4-5 days to have nothing going on almost anywhere in the state. I’ve gotten some other projects started, made headway in other areas that need addressing and have just relaxed a bit around home with the family.
Although yesterday when I picked my daughter up from daycare she said “Now we go stormchasing daddy!”
Ugh, hated to disappoint her. And me. Can’t stormchase with no storms little one!
I actually processed this image back a few months ago when I needed to do something different than lightning and dark clouds. This was from a photowalk back on December 29th of last year around downtown Phoenix. I made it a goal that day to stick with my 50mm 1.4 and just shoot what I saw with it. I love the little details on the old buildings and warehouses in the southern area of downtown.
I always liked this old hinged panel and was glad I finally went back and brought it to life.
(oh yeah, countdown to Discovery’s Storm Chasers premiere is now…5 days)
I really like the way you processed this Mike. Great shot.
Love the abstract and subtle nature of this, hints of cool/warm tones – nicely done!
It’s always fun to do a photo walk with the 50 1.4. Love the DOF created with the lens.
Nice little abstract today. Once it cools down we need to do another photowalk.
Love the contrasting tones and the DOF, nice way to mix things up!
Something different eh? I like this. Nice DOF on the subject and the rust is cool.
Love this! The abstract nature and grittiness of it are beautiful to me. Plus it’s fun when you shake things up.
That’s just the kind of grungy detail that I like 🙂
God I just love this Mike! What a great feeling of melancholy and nostalgia I got viewing this image. Great textures, you really accented and brought those out wonderfully, good sir!
