The Machines of Summer

The Machines of Summer.

It's the night before Thanksgiving, the sky is wall to wall gray, and I am dreaming of humid Summer rides.

Monday Morning

At the "office" on a Monday morning. Lately, what I've come to realize about my work is that I take solitude and store it on SD cards. I cherish the early mornings and late evenings. Very few people get to see that part of the day. At the end of the year, all these golden hours can't amount to more than a few hours, but they are the most memorable hours of my year.

Shooting the Sunset : 11.02.2011

 

[Above] Shot this self portrait tonight at the north end of Long Pond in Grafton Lakes State Park. This afternoon was warm, the sky clear, and the lake was deserted. I drove my car down to the shore to watch the sunset with John Butler on the CD player. Snow from last week's storm still lined the edges of the water. The color of the season is quickly fading and I am glad to get another change to shoot foliage.

Great way to end the day. Images at www.johnbulmerblog.com

First Snow

 

[Above] Sunrise over the season's first snow.

Schaghticoke, New York

Got a chance to get out this morning after the season's first snowfall. While I hate to see the summer's colors fade, the muted color pallet of the winter months definitely has its own unique appeal. I love New England and mornings like today's are the reason why. Grabbed this iPhone HDR as I was shooting with my DSLR. More at www.myphoneismycamera.com

The New Vintage

 

[Above] Before & After

I didn't take these photos. A friend, a local musician (and damned good one), saw this scene at a garage sale and asked the woman selling the chairs to take a few photos of him playing his guitar. Sometimes found scenes have way more validity than something planned, lit, and staged. And while I didn't create the images, I applied the sepia tone and weathered effects to add more authenticity to the finished product. All effects were applied with iOS iPad apps.

Plotting the Moonrise

My secret weapon for capturing the sunrise, sunset, and moonrise is iOS's augmented reality capability. It allows me to plot the time, path, and point of celestial bodies in real time.
