Land of Cleves Part 2

After going to Edgewater Park in Cleveland, we went hunting a freighter on the Cuyahoga River in downtown Cleveland.

The Land of Cleves - Edgewater Park

Last weekend, my son and I took a trip to Cleveland to make some photographs with my friend David laurence. His web site and even some images from this same adventure are located at this site http://www.imgbydavid.com. There will be more posts to follow, but for now, here are some pics taken at Edgewater Park In Cleveland.

Jesus is the Light of the World

/

This is an experiment that I decided to try this morning. This is the first attempt. It involved taking a picture of the light bulb and then it involved post production in Photoshop. After starting the project, I realized to do it right, I would have to buy a few objects and even do some minor construction. It would have been cheaper to purchase a photo of a light bulb. However, I learned some technical things and loved the challenge of making due with what  I could find. By the way, light bulbs are hard to clean!

Note the message in the filament, Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus refers to himself in many ways, one of them is as the light of the world. The depth of this statement goes beyond what I can put on this page, but in a darkened world, even one that doesn't know it's in darkness, needs Jesus.

While shooting light bulbs, I have this one as well. David brought this one for a light project he did. You can see the filament reflecting on the back side of the glass which makes it difficult to see the detail. The spiral is the filament on this bulb.

Time To Take Pictures

My little project for this weekend was taking pictures of my watch. This watch has been out of commission for a year because of a dead battery.  I may want to do this project again. Call this phase one of a learning process.

The writing process in describing this is even worse than this project. Maybe I should get my brother to write this stuff. I have been looking at ads for fancy expensive watches for a number of years now and use those for inspiration. So far, I haven't matched those, but will continue trying. I have been experimenting with light positioning, speeds, f-stops lenses etc.
