pecuniumNew locale, new subjects.
Wings
Contrary to my work of the past month or so, this was shot with a long lens (300mm). I really like the way the colors work in this. The mood is somewhat like a watercolor, with washes of color. The shutter was at 1/180, which is at the feathered end of stable for that lens, and the breeze was blowing, but the backscatter of the light gave some good silhouette.
Inverted Dogwood
It's in negative, just because.
The dogwoods are still in bloom. They are pretty enough, but I don't have the sort of eye get a decent photo in a larger scale. Perhaps if they weren't all in front of houses, but I don't know. My present skill set isn't what it might be for full-sized shots of trees. They are very different up-close. The flowers sit above the leaves, which is what makes them as pretty as they are; the branches look as though the flowers are resting on platters.
Up close it seems they are a sort of large carpeted plant, as if they were a flowering ivy. [positive version]
Horsepower
Something from further back. For visual appeal the classic Mustang has got to have some of the strongest sense of power going. Really clean lines and great proportions. This one is in the "bloodied, but unbowed" state of repair. Living, as I do, in California rusted out; with evidence of dry-rot, isn't the usual sort of disrepair I see.
