In the evening, the geese and ducks gather on the shores of Lake Bond. The sun setting behind them, they prepare to settle down for the night. These ducks live here. Why leave? People feed them all day long, and nothing hunts or tries to eat them. And so ends another day, silhouetted against the passage of time.
I like a few things in life. I'm a bit of a tech-head. I love technology. I try to stay up on the latest of what's going on, even though that doesn't always work out. Sometimes, I wind up with loads of junk. This came from a junker PC, and sat in my classroom for a few months before I took it down. I spun it around a bit and realized that I could make it into a city park with the right angles and lighting. I used my HTC One as my light, and turned out all of the overheads in my room. I used my 60mm macro, some light from the windows, and my HTC One to ultimately produce this scene. I gave it a bit of yellow toning to finish it off, giving it the appearance of high-rise apartments in the late evening.
I love photographing the creeks at Umstead State Park. I wanted to do some longer exposures with my friend Vivek, so we began hiking down. We got about halfway to the river when dark clouds began rolling in. It was quickly as dark as late evening, and it began pouring rain. After sprinting back to a shelter to wait for it to let up, I saw this on a fence at the edge of the shelter. I captured this with a tripod, Canon T5i, and a 60mm macro lens.
