More abstract approaches to #centered_composition #architecture #blackwhite #photography #darktable #nikon #d200

Got lucky with this shot - there's a pier behind the camera, that I was planning to line up with the #Transamerica pyramid. The frame must be a new public art piece, and there just happened to be a group of skaters having fun with it. #52frames #centered_composition #photography #darktable #nikon #d200 #skating #skater #framed #streetphotography #sanfrancisco

The cats tend to gravitate to this patch of sun in the afternoons. Strong side lighting could be good for #shadows, a maybe for #52frames. #photography #nikon #d200 #straightoutofcamera #cat #catsofpixelfed

Exploring #texture for #52frames this week, fun challenge. Part of texture is the tactile experience, but does it have to be an object you are allowed to touch (records were a big no-no growing up!) or want to touch (cactus!)? #photography #darktable #kingcrimson #nikon #d200

#52frames ##52frames_soundtrack, "Cloud City" by Time, The Valuator. This is the best of the bunch this week, but it's tricky lighting with the sun and brilliant clouds behind the buildings. Torn between either trying to lighten the facades or turning the buildings into silhouettes. #sanfrancisco #clouds #photography #city #darktable #nikon #d200

#52frames #onelightsource From a visit to the former 16th Street station in Oakland, sunlight streaming through the windows into the main hall. We entered in batches, and it was a rare moment without a crowd milling in the frame. Lot of photographers, and this one caught my eye as she framed up the entrance.

Here's the spoon #stillife I was trying out for #52frames #outofplace before the cat intervened. #darktable #photography #nikon #d200

I was short on ideas for #52frames #outofplace, so thought I'd try a still life of some mismatching spoons. Got out my black winter coat, carefully rollered off the cat hair, laid out the spoons... And promptly the cat's curiosity prompted her to come investigate the studio! Thanks, just de-haired that! #photography #darktable #catsofpixelfed #nikond5300 #d200

Urban hikes are always fun. A new staircase, a new view opened up. What did she see that caught her interest? Maybe another for #52frames #shotfromabove #urbanhike #sanfrancisco #stairs #photography #nikon #d200

He saw I got my camera out as he approached the pedestrian bridge and gave me a wave before passing directly underneath. Maybe a candidate for #52frames #shotfromabove? #slingshot #trike #nikon #d200 #photography #sportscar
