2012 Deck – Week 1

On January 9, 2012January 9, 2012 By themichaellamcollectionIn 2012 Deck, Photography

After two years of doing this, I think that this is what keeps me intrigued in photography, the weekly search for a photograph. While Nikhil has embarked upon his Daily Photography project this year (I hope he goes the full 366) I know my limitations, I won’t be trying that anytime soon.

I think that this image is somewhat appropriate to the year, the crazy Armageddon stories and to my photography. If you believe the Mayan Calendar theorists and many of the other Doomsday predictions regarding the year 2012, then you’re probably hoping, like myself, that I get some really good photographs this year! 🙂

This was taken on New Year’s Day, because of my interests in HDR, I thought that I would try another Black and White HDR, this one was taken at midday, I think the originals were 2ev apart.

It was a breezy day (forgot my tripod again, so this was hand-held for all three exposures), and very overcast, lots of clouds as you can see.

Hello Michael
Thanks for sending these photos. They are really lovely for me to look at and ponder on the high quality and the very high interest and fascination they have. For someone who doesn’t know the story behind the photo, they may think that a storm may be forming. I love it
Kind regards
Cecil

  Andrew, I think we’d have to ask him, or maybe we’ll hear if he got struck by lightning 🙂

  Thanks JP, I am flattered, I don’t think many can compare to your lovely photographs, there’s not a single one that doesn’t tell a story (or a few stories 🙂 )

Belated new year wishes to you Michael and good luck on your photo project. You have a nicely composed shot here – I like the tones and monochrome conversion.
