I would have uploaded more photos from my photo walk at Furman University yesterday but clumsy me dropped them in the stream

Central Park foliage photo-walk, Nov 2009 – 51

Note: this photo was published in a Sep 21, 2010 blog titled "5 Steps to Achieve Panning in Photography." It was also published in a Mar 14, 2011 blog titled "Tonight: Ask NYPD for a Return to Sanity in Central Park."

**************************************

This was taken on a downhill stretch of the "ring road" that circumnavigates Central Park, just inside its borders. It was at approximately 77th Street, after I had finished my afternoon photo-walk, and was beginning to walk down to 72nd Street, where I could exit from the park and catch a taxi back home.

There were several bike-riders in this area, taking advantage of the ability to coast down the hill at a nice speed, without the effort of pumping madly on the pedals. I had to "pan" my camera to keep up with her, which is why you see the blurred background…

***************************************

On Nov 6, 2009 a group of roughly 150 members of the NYC Digital Photography Meetup Group (which comprises some 2,556 members, according to its website) assembled at the southeast corner of New York’s Central Park for a "meetup" that consisted of a walk through Central Park to capture the fall foliage. A few people knew each other from previous meetups, but most of us were there for the first time, and knew only that we were in the midst of a lot of people with "serious" cameras. Introductions were made, hands were shaken, cameras were compared, but with rare exceptions, names were quickly forgotten — except for lyman91, who served as the organizer for the afternoon’s activities. After all, it wasn’t a college mixer; we were there to get some nice photographs…

Once we got started, we walked past the pond in the southeast corner of the park, up to a picturesque bridge, and then along the southern edge of the park until we reached another picturesque bridge by the southwest corner of the park. From there, we ventured north, past Tavern on the Green, past the Sheep Meadow, up to the 72nd Street entrance (where many photos were dutifully snapped of Strawberry Fields, and the Dakota apartment building where John Lennon lived at the time of his death). We then walked around parts of the boat pond, and a little further north into the Ramble … at which point, the late-afternoon shadows were dark enough that I decided to call it a day and head on home.

As someone observed early in the walk, "fall foliage" in New York City is not the same as it is up in Vermont and New Hampshire. There are no fiery reds, no mountainsides of bright orange trees. Our trees are more subdued: there were a few bright yellow ones (don’t ask me what kind they were; I have no idea), but most of the trees were "rust-colored" at best.

Still, it was a pleasant walk; the temperature was a little cool, but the skies were a brilliant blue, and there wasn’t a cloud to be seen. I took fewer photos than I would have expected — only about 300 — and I’ll upload the "keepers" throughout the week, as I edit them and put them in reasonable shape… and I’ll look forward to another photo meetup sometime in the future. Next time, hopefully I will remember a few names…

Hide the family photo album

Most school photos in family albums seem to be there to make fun of you.
If you are lucky the odd one can vanish, but a few parents stick them down so firmly that they will never come out.
Your photo day is going to be there forever.
One boy thinks he is hidden enough, not to show his shame of the red wellingtons he had to wear to school.
Hiding in the second row did not work, by the grin, he thinks he’s got away with it.
No luck, the photo is the proof.
Next time don’t damage your black wellies.

Sisters in the Children’s Home did not always have to use physical punishment if you were naughty, the older Sisters had perfected many ways of humiliating a child, this worked far better than any spanking. If you were made to feel different to your friend you would soon know to improve your ways.
A smack was over in seconds and often forgotten within an hour, a non physical punishment could last days or even weeks. You knew that you had been punished.
If you damaged your wellingtons and were a boy, one of the punishments was to be made to wear red wellies, until the Sister thought you had learn’t you lesson, it was alright in the grounds of the Home, but turning up at our junior school and you would get teased.
My room mate who was nine had this punishment as well for a short while, after a few naughty words had been burnt with a magnifer on the sides of his original black wellingtons (by me). He burnt the naughty words on my boots on the sole, so they were not at first spotted by the Sister in charge.
We tried every excuse not to take our red wellingtons to school, Sister saw through every one, the punishment only lasted about a month, but it made us take care of our boots from then on.
I had that punishment as well during the summer holidays, I had been using my foot as a brake when cycling, my punishment had ended by the time we returned to school.

My friend Alan and his classmates presented their final projects in a show at the New York Academy in Seattle (not New York). This piece is from another designer, not one of Alan’s.

Photographing runway models is hard! Even if you shoot them when they stop to "strike a pose," the lighting could be bad, or you could get the back of somebody’s head in the shot, depending on where you are shooting from. In addition to getting good shots of the models, you of course want to make the clothes look good, too. Out of over 200 photos I took, only a handful are decent.

Fortunately, it is a hobby, and no one was paying me to take photos at this event. But it was lots of fun.
