Interesting pics Ken - nice to glimpse a completely different aspect of your photography. :)

 

....which basically involves going into abandoned places and photographing for art, documentation, interest, and fun. Some people also call this abandonography....

 

Perhaps you might enjoy photographing one of my jazz gigs then...... ;)

 

 

 

...which may have been similar to some of my gigs!!! :D

 

Thanks!!!!!

Nice pics Brett. Your dog looks unbelievably free of mud! Cool looking speaker. What are the sunflasses for?........cancelling the early reflections?........ ;)

 

Thanks xKnuckles! , yes I especially like cute and clean dogs that have just had a bath :). Sunny's were to give an indication of size of the speaker , sounds awesome but is too damn heavy to be moving every day that's for real.

Another cute buddy I met yesterday who was talking to me :) >

Here's a collision of my interests...

 

This video is a slow montage of various photographs I took of the former wallpaper factory where my esoteric jazz duo rehearses. The music is a recently completed recording called "Brochures Re: the Antonymn of 'Pattern'"....(I also posted in the Shameless Plugs area, so hopefully this cross posting is ok.)

 

Anyway, the photos were taken with my Cannon 700D (t5i) mostly with the nifty 50mm, and a few with a borrowed Tamron 17-50mm.

 

Enjoy the decay!

Thanks Ken!!! my camera didn't do justice to "the sheet of 1000's of holes" which was quite magical to look at , and was my fave of the lot ($75,000!!).

Also , there was a special "Harvesting of Energy" inside the dome of stars :) (actually, I think they are flower shapes)

Nice one xKnuckles...I love snowscapes!

 

+1 Is that near where you live xKnuckles? :)

 

Brett

 

No, not at all. It is from near Chamonix in France. Mind you, we had a few flakes of snow here this evening: sufficient to create mass panic & traffic chaos everywhere, but not sufficient for a nice photo.... :D It didn't settle round here and is all gone now.....

I can't remember what I posted here before, so hopefully this wasn't one of them. Long exposure light painted photo showing the perceived movements of the stars in the night sky. Thanks!

 

You're looking at an old grain silo, part of the 100 year old ruins of Llano del Rio Colony, a socialist utopian community, established in SE Antelope Valley in the California desert in 1914. Llano del Rio was founded by Job Harriman, a young lawyer who almost won a bid for mayor of Los Angeles. Not trusting the political system to enact social change, Harriman founded the community out in the desert north of Los Angeles. The cooperative thrived, its population exceeding 1000, until their water supply was diverted by an earthquake fault. They had one of the country's first Montessori schools, hosted a fertile intellectual and cultural climate, and had innovative low-cost housing, Social Security, minimum-wage pay, and universal health care services that predated the rest of the country by decades. Although Llano del Rio is today considered Western American history's most important non-religious utopian community, there is unfortunately no protection for the site despite being a California Historic Landmark.

Thanks, Knuckles!

 

Here's a long exposure photo of the rather cloudy night sky, but with a rather fun foreground.

 

The amazing science fiction structures in the foreground are the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA), a multi-university-based interferometer, using 23 radio telescopes used jointly to image the astronomical universe at millimeter wavelengths, producing high-resolution astronomical images. CARMA is located in the Inyo Mountains in California, USA. I was there for about one hour photographing the dish arrays, and was photographed with a Nikon D610 DSLR. Special thanks for Dennis Ducilla for telling me about CARMA.
