Airhead


Canon Digital Rebel, Canon 24-70 L IS @ 70 mm f/11 1/400

Wire sculpture on the Johns Hopkins University
campus, shot against the first clear blue sky we've
had in Baltimore for quite a while, and the last we're
likely to have for another while. (We're expecting
snow tomorrow.)

Luminouslens, VisuallyMinded,
Chiaroscuro, a few others who don't
(yet) have photoblogs, and (last and least)
I have started an informal group to help
us improve our photography. This week we
gave ourselves the assignment of shooting
(a) the rather unphotogenic arts center on
the Johns Hopkins campus, and (b) an onion.
It will be interesting to see what we all
come up with. This is one of my images from
the arts center. At least we can shoot the
onions indoors while it snows this weekend.

"the rather unphotogenic arts center" - ??!??

I rather like the arts center. Lots of great lines and perspectives, reflections, etc. Plus there are all these great little treats if you happen to come around the right corner, like you seem to have done here.

(This one works REALLY well against the bright blue sky. He really does look like an air head...)

Incidentally, I feel the need to point out that photographing the arts center was YOUR idea. :)

As for shooting onions indoors, now that's a good idea. Not to give too much away, but my onion shots so far have been outside (!), which is 1) freezing, and 2) seems to attract a lot of attention.

Love this photo! Looking forward to your onion shots. Can anyone play, or is it just for you wacky Baltimorians?

Gienna--Feel free to join in on our photographic games :).

Sorry Luminouslens, but I'm no big fan of the Mattin center, either. :) Photography aside, I've never liked its architecture. I guess it might have been better if they didn't feel compelled to encase it in red brick to make it blend with the rest of the Georgian buildings on campus.

Gienna, By all means join in! You'd need a REALLY long lens to photograph the arts center from Boston, but give the onion assignment a try! I'll be happy to post the result, or a link your site if you post it on yours.

Luminouslens, OK, OK, what I meant by calling the arts center unphotogenic was that I had a hard time finding photographs there. (Of course, by saying you like it, you've put the pressure on yourself to come up with some great images!)

Heh - great concept VF. I would like to join in - but I have too many time pressures to allow myself more photo indulgence. :( I must stick to occasional wildlife shoots and similar.

Do you guys study photography or anything similar?

Hi Visual-Field, your blog is excellent. As I was surfing around today looking for detailed info on horse photography I somehow ended up on your page. As your Airhead is not exactly related to my search, I am certainly glad I stopped by. Oh well, back to surfing and I am sure I will find what I am looking for, and should you ever need information about horse photography, then stop by for a look. Thanks for the post.
