    A Closet Full of Triangles

    I wanted to create a pendulum effect with a sparkly neckace and a long exposure with a dim penlight, but I couldn't find a good enough place to hang it. I was despairing as I tried to hang the thing in the closet, then I realized the closet was full of triangles and with my penlight, their numbers were doubled. High contrast B/W and shot at f/1.4 (wide open) to mask distractions, trying to concentrating on the shapes only. I thought I was failing, then I kind of succeeded maybe.

    Ampitheater in Blue Light

    White Balance (AWB) is always a little whacked on my K-1 mII raw files. I have to adjust almost every single file by one or two clicks, and not always in the same direction. This one looks a little blue, but I'll keep the tone to enhance the blue of the building. Bradley Park, Jasper, Arkansas Pentax K-1 mII, M50f1.4
