Been sick as a dog all week, but today was too nice to spend in bed, so I went out into the world with a head full of medicine and Elliot affixed to my box.
Despite the bright sunshine and temps tipping 50, I wasn’t feeling very colorful, and shot primarily in black and white. Here are a few shots from my day.
A water tower in Readsborough, VT:
A limestone quarry wall in North Adams:
…and the view under the limestone arch at Natural Bridge State Park:
All of these employed considerable “shift,” but only the last used appreciable “tilt,” and in that case it was close to my 8-degree maximum, as I was less than a foot from the arch.
Elliot was quite an investment for a poor boy, but I figured if I’m ever going to make anything come of my love of photography, getting the right tools for the job would be a smart move.
I liked these shots, and hope you do too.
Enjoy!
