Benches in the Snow

Another shot from the Lighthouse photo shoot, from the area where the concessions/restaurants would be filled with people on a beautiful summer day. In winter...not so much.
I've really appreciated the comments and favs from this photoshoot. I don't think I've ever had as many comments/favs as I did for the shot of the lighthouse -- many, many thanks! I'm off to a course to learn more about LR (photo above processed in LR and Nik Silver Efex) and PS and landscape photography. Wishing all a good week.
If interested, check out the Toys album featuring dragons this week. P3 had an adventure, while I had a photo failure -- http://365project.org/365toygroup/365/2015-01-15 -- including accidentally deleting the finished photo that I had created overlaying two images in camera, then compounding the problem by accidentally deleting the originals on the card. Then realizing I could re-import the exported color version I'd done. Then realizing I couldn't recreate the b&w version that had looked much better than what is now posted. Then deciding that what should I expect if it's 2:30 in the morning! And that it is time to go to post and go to sleep! No need to comment on that one (or even view in the end!)...
Love the repetitive pattern and contrast.

Love the repetition of the upturned tables and the leading lines. Also like the way you framed the shot!

great composition

Very cool shot
January 15th, 2015

Great lines.
January 15th, 2015

This series is one of my favorite. I haven't done much scrapping lately just too busy but oh I can see these in a double spread. Just amazing. And you need this one for contrast to all that white. Perfect. As for the problems just remember you are human especially at 2 a.m. A picture may be a treasure but it is a picture. You will capture tons more in the next year and forget that you took it. Meanwhile just learn and try not to make the same mistakes.

Great Black and white shot! It looks very cold there!
January 15th, 2015  
I have already expressed my appreciation for this shot: this particular crop, with it's strong contrast and the frame all works together very very well!
January 15th, 2015

Awesome b&w
January 15th, 2015  
Fabulous capture. It must be quite a hive of activity during the warmer months.
January 15th, 2015  
A monthly shot of each shot in your lighthouse gallery,taken from the same spot would be a great photojournal Taffy.
January 15th, 2015  
Great B&W image Taffy!!
January 15th, 2015  
All neatly stacked for the season!
January 15th, 2015  
Fabulous composition, repetition, textures, leading line, depth
January 15th, 2015  
@seanoneill I love the idea, but need to find a place equally interesting but a lot closer!
January 15th, 2015  
wonderful lines
January 15th, 2015  
@taffy Ah I see, not round the corner then!!
January 15th, 2015  
Awesome picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page.
January 15th, 2015  
@seanoneill 2 hours and not on the way to any place I go. I'd love to go back if there's more ice buildup. And then in spring and fall. It's very interesting.
January 15th, 2015  
This is definitely a familiar winter scene. I like the crop you chose to highlight the line of waiting tables.
January 15th, 2015  
Took me a little while to work this one out. I really like the composition, and the way the eye is taken through the image.
January 15th, 2015  
beautiful! liek the reapeating pattern and b&w!! fabulous shot! Sorry to hear about the troubles with your P3 photos!
January 15th, 2015  
No picnics here anytime soon. Neat shot!
January 15th, 2015  
Enjoying the lines and repeating winter patterns here. I read your photo tale of woe, yuk! Enjoy your trip - it sounds like an educational blast.
January 15th, 2015  
Wonderful! Love it!
January 15th, 2015  
A great pattern picture, with your choice of frame adding to the feeling of depth.

I like the repetition too.
January 16th, 2015  
Very cool composition. I too like the repetition.
January 16th, 2015  
I've done the same thing...stayed up until 2:30am, trying to get something just right, only to realize that my gray matter went to sleep, without me, hours prior. This is a great shot - for so many reasons. It's after midnight and one of us should go to sleep! :)
January 16th, 2015  
So pretty.
January 16th, 2015  
Yikes, 2.30 Taffy! How painful to lose your finished shot! You ended with a great image anyway. Love the repetition and the little bits of snow. I so enjoy seeing everyone's snow when it is stinking hot here.
January 16th, 2015  
Love the angles and contrast!
January 16th, 2015  
Love the way the chairs lie in layers with a touch of snow on them
January 16th, 2015  
Nice repetitions!
January 17th, 2015  
Awesome capture...great lines and comp. Nice of them to arrange the tables just perfectly for your photo shoot! Lovely Taffy!

Great b&w shot , I love the lines going back, the textures and the (but don't send it here) snow!
January 17th, 2015  
I love how you brought forward all the textures here, makes for a great black and white!
January 18th, 2015  
I like the repetition of the shapes and your DOF is wonderful from front to back. I finally got a new camera and today I had sometime to go out and shoot despite the cold: http://365project.org/falcon11/365

Excellent photo, love the lines and the contrast. What a debacle you had with your other photo!! Those things just seem to snowball!
January 19th, 2015  
Fabulous B&W shot, Taffy. Love the repetition and clarity throughout this photo. The snow sure makes for beautiful photos. I am always curious to see what you start with and the finished product as this looks SOOC to me but know it is not. FAV
January 19th, 2015  
You must be busy Taffy...just checking in on you!!
January 20th, 2015
