Week Two - Bapst Library

Finishing off my first shoot with a creative approach to an image, "Bapst Library Compilation."

I sat back and waited for my turn to try to capture the back wall through the back of the library. I watched several co-photographers step up, set their tripods and click away. Watching the expressions on their faces, I knew they didn't get the shot they were experiencing when they looked through the opening. When my turn came, I didn't move the chair but took several shots of the back of the chair and one of the view through it.

When I got home I was able to process the opening in the back of the chair and then add in another processed shot of the back of the library. A little positioning of the wall and some cleaning up around the chair opening and I had what I saw - finally!



I have my first "Guest Photographer" and have received three other images for the immediate future. How about joining Liz and the others?

Guest Photographer - Liz Feitelberg

"Old Ironsides"

Liz comments, "Here is one of my favorite shots from 2013… we had a small group of Fire Service photographers at Castle Island for the June 4th Turnaround Cruise of Old Ironsides… we had a non-monetary bet between us to see who would get capture a muzzle flame from the cannons on the ship… I have been trying to capture that muzzle flame for five years… 

And I didn’t even realize I had caught it until I got home and looked at my photos on the computer ;-)

Thank you, Liz!

Don't forget to send me some of your favorites from 2013.
