February 14th: Knot
14th February 2008
The sun was in and out for much of the day today. It was out when I left my office but by the time I got outside the clouds were back and they stayed around until well after I had finished making photographs. This post is one of many that form a fence linked up with chains. This particular post, though, had no chain and only this little slender bit of string with a knot in the middle.
There was some variety in the 42 frames I made today. I particularly like the picture of the bus stop, with the newspaper and magazine stands in a line like they’re waiting for the bus themselves. And the one of the new tree along 156th Ave NE. I don’t know what it is about pylons, but the bright orange color always draws me.
And today is a sad one for those few of you who are fans of the pictures of the red bushes. The landscaping crew has started trimming them back in preparation for spring growth.
Shooting and processing notes
17-40 F4.0 L, 27mm, f5.6, 1/200, ISO 200. Converted to black-and-white in Lightroom, a bit of tonemapping in LightZone to spread out the tones, and local contrast.

As long as they aren’t dug up, a trim a year will do those red bushes good - and now they look like red coral don’t you think?

Nice photos! from your twitter feed I expected to find a regular technical/sql server blog — but this is really refreshing.
Good stuff.
