Mission Statement  by orangecrush

Mission Statement

I payed a quick visit to a local historic mission today between jobs. I love the character on this old building! Maybe a longer visit is in order soon!
Happy Friday everyone! I'm heading out tonight to try my luck at shooting the "blue moon" tonight. We'll see how that goes! So many of you do such a good job on moon shots, I hope I can get one even close!
Beautiful

There is a blue moon tonight? Does that mean the second full moon in one month? I should know this! I teach about space and the moon at school! This shot up above of the mission and the tree...gorgeous!
September 1st, 2012  
@espyetta Lol! I don't know if you are serious but you really made me laugh! Thank you for that! ;o) Its the second one this month!
September 1st, 2012  
@orangecrush Yeah, I'm serious...well, about which thing? That I teach this at school (fourth grade) or that I like your mission and tree? Either way...answer is yes! :))

Excellent framing Jerry. I also like where you placed your watermarke - it looks like it was carved over the arch. Good luck with the moon.

@klemieux I did! This thing is so processed it's funny!

Hey Jerry... we're partners for Get Pushed 7. It's an honor. I find your work top notch and varied. As this challenge proceeds I think we've all had our fair share of selfies, street shots, high key, low key, motion blur, etc. So I am going to push you with a new sort of challenge. I ran across the idea on Flickr and it seemed fun. Here it is:

Take snap shots of whatever catches your eye from the beginning of the day to the end of the day. Do not look in the viewfinder/LED screen to compose the photo. Do not check the images right after the shot. At the end of the day pick one that you like the most. I am going to allow you processing rights as well just to give your creative side some tension release ;-)

lovely
September 2nd, 2012  
I like your choice of arch shot!

Such a beautiful capture Jerry! : )

@aspada Amy! Yay! How fun to be paired with you! Love the challenge! Now I'm off to your project to come up with a challenge for you! :)

what a perfectly positioned tree, or maybe arch?! wonderful shot. I also took some shots of the blue moon, my 4 year old was bitterly dissapointed it wasn't actually blue! :)
September 3rd, 2012  
@orangecrush Glad you like your challenge, Jerry. I look forward to seeing what you give me!
September 3rd, 2012  
Ohhh yes! Nicely done!

This is a beautiful shot! Love the way you set the scene by including a bit of the interior. Love the light coming in through the rails, the reflection on the water and the DOF that allows me to see way back to the mountains in the distance! Nice Work! Fav
September 4th, 2012  
Lovely scene framed so beautifully.
September 4th, 2012  
love the framing and textures...gorgeous.
September 4th, 2012  
Very nice! I love how you took two exposures to get it right on the inside and outside. I wish I would ever think to do this! Do you use a tripod too?
September 5th, 2012  
Looks like a beautiful building . Love the textures tones and POV! Awesome reflections on the water and lovely shadows. Fav'd. :))
September 5th, 2012
