Well, I started off the day with a plan to head to a local Military Junkyard/Museum. After knocking out class and work, all I wanted to do was take some shots of rusted out tanks and jets. Thanks to someone at the museum closing up shop a few hours early, that shoot will have to wait. But with every down there has to be an up, right?
Enter Broad Ripple Art Center. This place is only a quick jaunt from my apartment, and for some reason I had not shot it until just the other day. After running around their grounds, snapping a few fun photos I realized that I am in severe need of someone to model for me. There are far too many interesting backgrounds and objects for someone to interact with. Until then, enjoy the scenery.
Side note - I decided to play around with some homemade filters (post) and see what I could accomplish. I am pretty happy with a few of them; surreal, yet defined. Let me know your thoughts!
As I was running around the northside of Indy today, I happened past a very intricate and ornate graveyard. I figured it would make for a picture or two. Mind you that this was 3pm, no clouds, direct sunlight...I probably should have waited until dusk? Either way, enjoy the shots, let me know what you think after the jump!
Side note - The panoramic shot is my first 'real' attempt at a photomerge, approximately 14 photos combined.
After a while of terribly inclement weather, February brought somewhat of a relief. For the first time in about two weeks I was able to get out and quench my photography thirst.
I decided to try, once again, Christy Woods near campus, in hopes of catching some interesting critter pictures. After 10 minutes of walking through the all-but-dead area, I was terribly disappointed. Luckily I happened to see a greenhouse, and the shoot suddenly took a turn for the better. Much better.
I stepped into the greenhouse and was instantly vaulted into a world of color and humidity. I quickly searched through the winding aisles and found the place to be completely void of anyone else. I couldn't ask for more. After allowing the fog to disperse from my lens, the fun began.
FYI - Apparently I was in a greenhouse filled with South American Orchids?? I'm no botanist, and have no clue as to what species were there, but wow, amazing subjects for photography indeed. Go green after the jump.
