Wheels at Night

Rene Skrodzki — 2007-01-05

]]> This is the same subject as yesterday, taken at night and a different angle. I like how this turned out. However I am still not sure what the wheels represent. One day I will do the "art" that adorns the front of our courthouse, that will get you all talking for sure :)

Wheels

Rene Skrodzki — 2007-01-04

]]> At the back of Kitchener City Hall is this little park kinda thing with some seats and lights, a nice glass etching of some of the history of Kitchener and these wheels. I am not sure what they represent but there rather large and kinda just sit there. Guess this is someone's idea of art.

Can I Have a Ride ?

Rene Skrodzki — 2007-01-03

]]> Since nobody liked my picture from yesterday, I decided to go with a more cheery theme. Our city hall has an ice rink, its small but its kinda cool. One of the main highlights for me is when the Zamboni comes out to clean the ice. I want to drive one of these one day. Dunno why. Any how I processed this with my Lucisart plugin and liked the way it worked out. On a side note: I now have VXFY and Cool Photoblogs links.

Someone Works Here ?

Rene Skrodzki — 2007-01-02

]]> I came across this one night as I was wandering around thinking I was gonna do some night shots and forgot my tripod. I decided to go with it in spite of the fact that it wasn't perfect because I liked the scene. I am wondering if someone sleeps here or worse, works here.

Happy New Year 2007

Rene Skrodzki — 2007-01-01

]]> I decided to stay inside and watch the TV celebrations this year. It was raining out and I hate getting wet. A while back I attended an Orchid show and forgot all about the pictures and was doing a year in review earlier and found them. Since I have never posted a flower shot I thought I would start the New Year off with one. May the comming year be peacful, fun and colorful for all here.

Taking a Walk

]]> I hardly ever do night photography, especially hand-held. I thought I would give it a try since it was still relatively warm out at night. Let me know what you think.

Park Bench HDR

]]> I miss the good weather. Mind you we haven't had any snow to speak of and thats kinda unusual, after all this is Canada. Oh well guess Igloo building isn't going to happen this year.

ISO 3200 Is Hell

Rene Skrodzki — 2006-12-29

]]> Ok, my camera has ISO 3200 and I decided to use it. Probably not going to try that in the future except in extreme cases. The amount of Noise Ninja I had to use was not worth the softening of the lines on this dog

Portrait of a Young Girl

Rene Skrodzki — 2006-12-28

]]> I spent a fair amount of time with this picture, simplified it a lot, but something isn't sitting right with me. I can't seem to put my finger on it exactly. Maybe the color, maybe something else. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment.

Demolished

Rene Skrodzki — 2006-12-27

]]> I used to wonder what It would be like to be a reporter and have to cover wars. I kinda wished to do that once, now I am glad I chose to not follow that course. Anyhow I would imagine it would look a lot like this.

The Red Tree

Rene Skrodzki — 2006-12-26

]]> I hate winter, however fall is a nice time to capture colors. This was shot a while ago but its the holidays and I haven't processed a picture for the day.

Rene Skrodzki — 2006-12-25

]]> Merry Christmas Everyone, I hope that you all got what you asked for and that you have a safe and excellent holiday.
