Double Vision

RainBlur

Fujifilm X-E2 and Fujinon XF 55-200 R OIS Lens – 1/280 @ f/4.2 – 122mm – ISO 200 – Manual focus mode

A lot of people hate rain but I enjoy it.  Everything is so exaggerated like the street reflection of the headlights on these cars. I had to put the camera in manual focus mode to defocus and shoot.  I hope you enjoy.

Several evenings a week in my small city, it’s possible to find folks picking up their instruments and creating beautiful music.   This past Friday, I had the chance to capture the sight, if not the sound, of that music.  The hands fascinate me, the way they move, almost effortlessly, over the instrument.

If you’d like to see some more images from that evening, please check out Local Music at my original blog Life on the Bike.

And please visit the blogs of the other photographers on Monochromia.  They make some pretty great music with their cameras!

Kayak Tour

KayakSeven

I was in Cold Spring harbor this past Saturday morning and i noticed a crowd of people with Kayaks.  I then realized they were all there because a gentleman that offers Kayak tours was also giving lessons.

KayakFive

As the photo shows above he was helping people into the Kayaks and balancing them until they got their sea legs.  After he taught them  proper paddling technique he gave them a shove and they were on their way.

KayakThree

One by one they all cast off to practice their newly acquired Kayaking skills.

KayakFour

Some managed better than others but they all seemed to get the hang of it by the time they gathered into two groups to wait for the teacher and guide.

KayakSix

Alright give me a minute to stuff myself in here and I’ll be right with you guys.

Kayak

And I’m off hopefully the weather will stay good until i finish this tour.

KayakTwo

This Kayaker was not learning he was just coming in and I had to take a photo of his custom wooden Kayak, a pretty slick one too :)

This picture was by pure chance, it was late at night, totaly dark in a mountainous area (Bird´s mountains, right in the middle of Germany http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogelsberg_Mountains),

A friend of mine who was driving came around the curve and I saw these reflective lines and traffic posts. Suddenly I shouted to my friend “Stop, I have to take a picture”.
We were on the road in the darkness for hours but until this moment when we went around the curve I have never seen this. There was a little bit more ambient light, but this is more like what I had envisioned in my mind when I shouted “Stop”.
