Bored with camera in hand!

[Retired Grunt]

Just taking shots to take shots… anything goes.

Camera in hand is my antidote to boredom as well.

I remember that song Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

I’ve been going to this same spot by the river and taking these same shots for 2 weeks now as I test various recipes for a Fuji X-E1. These are what I settled with. I only shoot Jpeg with this camera. They are resized before uploading.

I think you could find many lines of text in those books to tell a unique story with a frame or 2 , hands tell a good story maybe holding a book open , over the shoulder shot 🙂

For me bored with a camera in my hand is one step away from bored with a lagre firearm in my hand. Which reminds me I bought a sensor that dectes the bullet being fired and triggers the camera to photograph the target mid explosion. Cant wait to try that one out.

[Retired Grunt]

That should make some interesting photography. I still want to get a similar device for lightning.

[Robert Apple]

The one I have is supposed to work for that as well, again untested though.

Never moved a muscle , shot as seen from my position =  crap smartphone only

[Patrick]

I was doing stuff and moved this stencil onto a print to make some space with what i was doing and then noticed the eye , so i juggled it a little and get this as BOB R would say ,just happy little accidents 🙂

@retiredgrunt   Great throwdown, RG.   I took this shot – because my camera was upstairs – when I couldn’t believe my pizza was delivered in this state.  It looks like some pop art piece.

[Michael Nowak]

Now there is a bit of timeless wisdom.

Tunnel Vision

That juxtaposition of smooth/rough or round/square works very nicely @dr-john

[John Dailey]

Thanks, @admin-2! This is on my walk to campus every school day. But now the tunnel has been repainted white so it is not nearly as colorful.

[Retired Grunt]

@dr-john

I saw this photo the other day and was gonna comment but got distracted and now I’m back. It’s good though because I was thinking about how to word my comment and then Rob hit the word perfectly, “Juxtaposition.” The lines and colors of the man-made, contrasting with the round mirror reflection’s natural colors is a perfect juxtaposition 🙂

 

[John Dailey]

Thanks, @retiredgrunt! I look at that mirror often as I make my way to those stairs. This day I got lucky with that whisp of clouds in the sky.

[Anne Hornsby]

GReat  shot, John.  I especially love the shapes of the colors in the mirror versus the wall.

 

[Michael Nowak]

Too hot for the trails, stayed in the cab 

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Nice one Michael. You’ve got a classic composition inside a classic composition and I think it works very nicely.

[Anne Hornsby]

Ditto to Rob.  Your side-view mirror is much cleaner than mine!
