St. Paul, MN Photos

Weisman Museum

Some say it is an ugly building, some say it is beautiful.  I think it is interesting.  It was built in 1992 and houses the Weisman museum on the University of Minnesota campus.  The building is very well known and a favorite of local photographers.  The best time to shoot it is probably at sunset but it is kind of interesting at dawn too, as it  becomes what ever color the sky is.   I make no apology for my messy verticals but plan to go back again for another try.

The University of Minnesota has it all for those who like to take architectural photos.  There are very modern buildings and plenty of gems from the past.  I keep promising myself that I will spend a day on campus when it is a bit warmer just to take pictures.

Glass Fish 2010

I take this shot every February well at least I have for the last three years.  I like the one I took last year better but I chose this one to put on the blog because if you look at the door to the right of the fish you can actually see the car parked a block away.  You may have to click on the image to make it big enough to see.  This is what I like about using HDR processing for interior shots. This image is made up of three bracketed shots which is easy enough to do indoors with nothing moving.   I’ll go back again next February for more target practice with the  Standing Glass Fish at the Minneapolis sculpture garden.

Puddle Picture

We had a little relief from the mind numbing bone chilling cold.   It rained last weekend.  The rain created some marvelous puddles and most of them had pictures in them.

Pull 413

I maybe should have written a Thanksgiving post.   Most of what gets posted on this blog gets written on Sunday afternoon.   it is the only way I can get it done. I have a lot to be thankful for. I guess I can start by thanking you for looking at my photos.

Boats and Buildings

Taken from Embarcedaro Park in San Diego, CA., a week ago today and I wish I was still there.  It was a kind of working vacation except it was so beautiful that I think I did a little more vacation than work.

Rainy Day

Happy Haloween!
