Boston is gorgeous.

MWalsh9152

yeah, but growing up with it, I take it for granted and really have to look to see the things that I really dont notice because Ive seen them a million times before

srika

yeah it truly takes effort. I know when I come back to Boston I'd love to wander the old streets and do nightscenes over there. This is pretty cheesy and touristy but I'd for sure do one of the Boston Massacre area. I've never seen any such good photos. Well even any bad photos lol. Looking quickly on flickr, I'm primarily getting photos of the roller-derby team with the same name..

search for the "old State House" it happened in front of it. Theres a circle of cobblestones as a monument

srika

oh well that search term helped.

and, it doesn't look anything like I expected it to. hehe. I had something totally else in my head, for some reason. probably from looking at too many illustrations in history books.

MWalsh9152

yeah, its in the middle of a fairly busy intersection. I've admittedly never been to it.

However, your mention of touristy neighborhood shots has given me some ideas. Theres nothing better than wandering through the tight back streets of the North End (the old italian neighborhood near The Boston Garden and Fanuel Hall) I need to get in there again now that I have faster glass and see if I can get better results.

srika

would love to see some photos of that!

MWalsh9152

I'll see what I can do, only downfall is that the little gardens and parks you stumble upon are gonna be pretty lifeless at this time of year

It's been a lot of fun, but I won't lie, it's been tiring as well. The press conference schedule is non-stop. Back to back to back to back. No breaks for breakfast, lunch or anything. I wish I could have stayed till Wednesday to take more pictures.

asianspec

iTrader: (1)

MWalsh9152

asianspec

iTrader: (1)

srika

^^ nice tangent lol


playing with a kaleidoscope filter -

Trippy. Second one looks like it could be a texture for some sci fi cgi scene.

MWalsh9152

asianspec

it is so fun!



Chicago today





























and a couple from the other day

srika

what's cool about it is the things that make it look like that are not even sci fi kind of things - it's at Union Station and those red things are ribbons hanging from the ceiling, Christmas decorations. Here is the one image it came from, an altogether "classical" and non-futuristic scene.

you have an artistic style. well done. this is not a critique thread per se but the only thing I can do without is the string(s) on that one pic.

jupitersolo

...so, had a chance to use that B&W ND110 filter today, but I was really hoping there would be some wind to move the clouds for more dramatic shots. But there weren't hardly any wind... the clouds just weren't moving.

Another thing I wasn't expecting... I knew the filter was 10 stops... but OMG! after you put it on the lens, you can't see ANYTHING through the viewfinder! I'll have to play with it more later next week.
