Links and Post
22. January 2012 by David.
Another photograph from Railtown 1897 State Park
I liked the contrast between the very busy set of links and the static post on which they were hanging. The post is somewhat out of focus but still draws your attention away from the busy links. I guess our eyes just need a rest.

Gears
24. September 2011 by David.
I took the opportunity to tour the old stamp mill in Bodie.
These gears sitting on a workbench caught my eye. They were some of the smaller pieces of equipment.
The stamp mill pulverizes the ore (rocks) into a fine dust that the gold is then extracted from. The noise is extremely loud and the process very dangerous, both from the equipment and the chemicals used.
This was definitely a tripod shot at 1/15th of a second f5.6.

Water Wheel
20. August 2011 by David.
The water wheel was essential to hydraulic mining.
Water wheels were used to power all the mining machinery during the gold rush and beyond. I’m not sure what this one powered but is was fairly small (about 6 feet tall) and looks like it was built for speed more than power.
I added the sepia tone and vignette to give it that old time feel.

Creative Hands
31. March 2011 by Friedhelm.
I was privileged this morning to photograph at a local senior center. A local artist invited me to photograph while the attendees were creating beautiful artwork. This is one of the images that I created using a 85mm portrait lens at f 2.8. I had to crank up the ISO to 800 to get 1 1/125sec. exposure time.
Enjoy and happy photographing!

The Musician at Sans Souci
24. January 2011 by Friedhelm.
I photographed this musician in front of the castle Sans Souci in Potsdam, Germany which is located close to Berlin. Sans Souci is very pretty and you are welcomed by this “Baroque” musician. I thought I put this image into a different frame.
Enjoy and happy photographing!

Begging
21. January 2011 by Friedhelm.
Beggars somehow fascinate me. They have the courage to look you right in your face asking for money and they have to deal with lots of rejection. Wherever I see them, I try to photograph them. This Eastern European woman was sitting on a frozen ground at a market place in northern Germany.
Happy Friday!

The Dancer, the Drummer and the Dollars
22. December 2010 by Friedhelm.
Market street is full of street musicians. It looks like that they are have their place where you can find them on a regular basis. They have become part of the city and the good-one attract a crowd like these two. They had a great show and I took time to photograph them.Enjoy and as always: Happy Photographing!

Precision
7. December 2010 by Friedhelm.
I photographed this image at the Mariposa historical museum. This is part of the equipment that was used during the California Gold Rush. As they say: “Money makes the world go round” and gold is money.
Enjoy and happy photographing!

The Floor
22. October 2010 by David.
While visiting my home town I went by the abandoned railyard a few blocks from my parents house.
I came across an old caboose that had apparently been in an accident. The floor on the back had been crumpled up and I liked the ‘other worldly’ look when I did this close-up. Because of the location I had to do it handheld and at 1/10sec, thank goodness for image stabalization.

Photographing on a Farm 02
5. October 2010 by Friedhelm.
This is a typical bean field. The soil gets properly prepared and irrigated and according to Marc Marchini, the sales manager at Joe Marchini Farms ( www.jmarchinifarms.com/), one can grow almost anything here in the Central California Valley.
Enjoy and have a great day!
