Cool and Windy Photo Walk

It went down to 6.5C/44F on Saturday night, so it wasn't exactly hot when we went out for Sunday morning photos. And it was windy too.

Sue had her photo thing to do, so I put my telephoto lens on and decided to take little photos, for it wasn’t the day for grand scenes. I decided that I would concentrate on bits of architecture, at least initially. I also thought that I would likely then convert into b&w because it was a pretty drab day. That is what I did except for the people photos that came later.

This was the first capture: just textures, but of what?

Here is the context, or some of it: a boarded up window on an old building. You have seen the whole building before in other posts, but I didn't take those kinds of photos this time out.

That window was on the side of the building, but here is a back door, almost lost in the foliage. Once again, I was drawn by the textures.

An old mill is almost adjacent, and it is slowly being converted into condos: very slowly, I might add. There was a tractor nearby, but I chose to just include the arm as an interesting and odd element.

Later, I did vary my subjects by photographing water over the rocks in a very mini waterfall as I looked down from the trail bridge.

At one point I took a very long distance photo of Sue. The faint colours on the lower part of the photo  are from shooting through the foliage that was much closer to the camera. It was deliberate.

Does Sue look like she was shivering in the cold?

I took one more photo of Sue taking a photo of a patch of leaves that was already turning colour.

I should have broken this into two posts, but it's too late to turn back now, so I present photos by Sue of me.

I look like I am on a grumpy grampy prowl in this next and final photo. It's the way that I sometimes look, but it is not how I mostly am. It reminds me of photos or videos of cats walking toward the camera; they look pretty darn serious with a "Don't mess with me vibe."

And that was our Sunday shoot, or mine at least. For the most part, Sue was targetting different subjects.
