Having completed Project 52 at the end of 2012, I took a short break from weekly blog posting. Last week, we made a trip to Barnes and Noble. Outside, after sunset, the sky had just turned a deep blue. This contrasted nicely with the green of the Modmarket next door. I like the effect of bright streetlights at night with the iPhone — the iPhone’s lens is pretty good at rendering star-burst rays from bright light sources without flare.

Earlier this week, the rising sun lit up the trees in the alley behind our house. In this image, I positioned the iPhone where there was a clear streak in condensation on the window. This image was tweaked with Snapseed to add more saturation so that the condensation was “on fire”.
Condensation, On Fire
This week, we had a few clear days when walking from the light rail station to work. On one morning, the sun was streaming through windows, casting nice long shadows on the floor. After passing by the orange umbrella cover, I turned around to make this image of the sunlit windows and the long shadows.

Further along the road, sunlight, reflected from an office building across the street. As I passed by the pedestrian crossing, the light was also reflected off the pavement. This image was made in between gaps of passing cars.

This week was full moon. While waiting for the train, there still plenty of light in the sky to make a reasonable exposure of the sky and the moon. I moved around the station to make this composition that includes the sweeping curve of the overhead bridge. This image was processed with Snapseed, where I converted to black and white with a yellow filter. I decided to title this image in a similar manner to Ansel Adam’s famous image “Moonrise, Hernandez”.

Finally, here is an image that was made at Thanksgiving last year. We were invited to dinner at our neighbor, Chris. She had laid out green dinner plates with silverware laid across the surface. I was attracted the intricate patterns cast in the handles.
Silverware At Thanksgiving
This image has been sitting in the phone until earlier this week. This was processed with Snapseed, where a simple black and white conversion created this great image that shows all the intricate patterns in the silverware.
