Speaking of artwork! the new public utilities commission building is going to have something like 350 pieces. Guess who's getting in to see the artwork? Yup. Me. Will I be able to share pictures? With luck, but o promises.
After that aside, here are some photos.
1/125th, f1.8
1/125th, f5.6
The Penguins by Beniamino Bufano. Sculpted in porphyry granite. All that geology stuff took root! Not really. The plaque says that thing about the granite.
1/500th, f1.8
This image got some extra post-processing. From the scanner it was very over exposed, so I copied the image, pasted it as a layer, dropped the gamma to 0.2, and made the transparency 85%. The result was substantially better and captured what I had wanted the image to look like.
1/125th, f5.6
The least over-exposed of the images.
1/30th, f16
Asparagus. Actually, this is called Fountain of the Four Seasons. I dig it. I was glad this long-exposure shot turned out because it's kinda neat to see the water bubble over the top and get flung about in the wind.
1/1,000th, f1.8
This is Marisol's portait of Georgia O'Keefe and her dogs. I kinda see it. It's bronze, I think, but probably made from a wood sculpture or meant to look like it. I had to burn a LOT on her face to get the details. So this result could have been better if this camera's light meter worked.
1/1,000th, f1.8
One of the dogs. It appears to be unhappy. Maybe it wishes it were made of brass or molybdenum.
1/4, f16.
I set the camera on a handrail for this image due to the quarter-second exposure time. I've hand-held images at as long as 1/8th of a second without noticeable camera shake, but a quarter-second is too long. Also a bird or something flew through my shot.
