Almost The Weekend! What Are We Shooting?

Heading to a cousin's little beach cottage -

What will I be shooting?

A nail gun. We're remodeling the master bathroom. :)

I think I am going to try some low-key images, colour and b+w. That said, first of all I have to convince my son to visit...... He's my model.... Lol

I'm keeping an eye on the weather... It's supposed to be stormy/thunder storms this weekend in the northeast. The potential is probably there for some interesting skies.

Besides that I'm considering shooting some iconic lit up store fronts/bars/restaurants etc at night... With the reflective wet ground it might produce some interesting shots.

If I go to Columbia looking for that covered bridge there will be tons of option-street shots in the vista, hilly country shots in the suburbs, the state house, the zoo-lots of options.....I should google for that bridge......

We are going to get some guests, so I guess I´ll do loads of tourist snaps.

sorry but it just sounds so violent.....

Finally got one of my two 10x10 rooms in shape to shoot in. Unfortunately, it was mostly by shoving half the stuff into the other 10x10 room.

But, I have space for one tabletop and I'm going to shoot a pile of stuff for ebay, both to clear it out and hopefully raise some more cash for props and material for my new project.

Not sure yet... possibly will be going to Downtown Birmingham and shooting around in some "untouched" places :) I am in need of an adventure!

@Marlene, Cmon you know there is something...or something you want to shoot! :)

@David Wish I had a room for stills-tiny house.....I am confined to a small corner with a geriatric recliner and a laptop (and all my gear shoved in the corner behind it)

@Meike - EEEw guests...yukky.

@Shelby - Birmingham is beautiful with lots to shoot. Have a great time.

I've been shooting...now I need to pay attention to house things and organizing/sifting through office receipts and paper stuff...BLEH! Have to get it done, I think the mess is giving me bad karma...

Well we bought a manufactured home and it's being delivered tomorrow so I will be shooting pics of it but probably nothing to upload here unless I see something interested outside while I have my camera out. So super excited about the house. My backdoor will face the pasture field :)

LOL Marlene tourist snaps does sound violent

maybe i want to experiment with food / still life photography ..

enjoy your weekend Alicia!

My youngest granddaughter who turns three in a few days. Party at my house. Mermaid theme.

Extremely busy this weekend, I won't be able to do any photo shooting, but entertaining people in the house.
Hi, Janice.

Hi Hyoye!

Looks like we are both entertaining.

Enjoy your visitors.

I don't plan weekend shoots. Too many people are out and about and getting in the shots, disturbing wildlife or just being annoying. If I do anything it will be a ride out to cattle country. Its easier without the commuter traffic and if I go early enough, I can be done with my shoot before the tourists show up. Nothing worse then tourists pulling over to see what you are doing, which really ruined my last ranch trip. Any of the beach towns is a non starter no matter how early you go.

When I had a day job I would be in position to shoot before sunrise and be done in time to go to work.

Times Square in Manhattan in the pouring rain!

Thanks, I will . It will be fun.

Alicia the roadtrip sounds like a great opportunity for multiple photos - and I have found Google to be a fantastic search tool to plan photo excursions/shoots. Once location is found I will generally spend 10 -30 looking at the Google maps street view of the surrounding area to see if there is something else that might be a great photo op. Found a few things that way.

As for what is on my plate this weekend....lots of things to attend to in the household, but if time, experiment in some abstracts and start taking the dozen or so photos needed to put together a photo composite project that I have had on the back burner for far too long.

I shall probably just shoot the breeze with my friends on FAA ;-)

My weekend shoots are not "Planned" per say, I get in the car with my gear and roll. I am thinking of going to a little place called pomeria, on the outskirts of Columbia, SC.

Alicia, thanks for letting me borrow this thread to say hello to Janice.
Hope you have a great weekend and take many good photos!

Oops! I was not aware that snaps seems to be a violent expression??! My apologies! English is not my mother tongue.

Alicia: LOL, it is gonna be busy...Have a good weekend yourself.

I won't be *shooting* anything, but I'm planning on drawing a monkey.

I am going to Mossy Glenn Hollow in NE Iowa. Extremely rugged and rough, going to specifically shoot the moss green boulders and a cascading spring in time exposure. Bringing my son with as it was no recommended to go alone. Also local folklore tells the place is haunted. Should be fun for this old man.

This week-end theme is circular stitched panoramas !
I'm going to shoot in couple of local places for one of my ongoing projects



This should be fun ! Have a nice WE !

Patrick that is quite cool!

Ugh, Football team shots tonight (boring)

Tomorrow I was thinking Pomeria, but due to dear hubby I will have to keep it closer to home....Maybe a woodpecker chase is in order, or maybe hit some backroads I have not yet ventured to....

I might visit this spider which is close to home in a park and see if he has some more poses.

Looks like its going to be a rainy weekend on the beach. Maybe some dark and moody stuff suitable for a mystery or horror novel. At least the beach will be free of people.

@Mario-I love the golden orb spiders. They have such a wide range of color and are very active. I love to come out in the morning when the dew is on the ground or after a rain and get the drops on their intricate webs. I went to the zoo a few weeks ago and they had webs everywhere with the big old critters.

@ Edward-Dark and moody is the new black, lol.

I have a brand new grandson, my first grandchild. Of course a few hundred thousand pictures of him won't pay for my trip up here so hopefully these will.

Congratulations, JC!

I'm planning a day with the kids tomorrow, so I'm not surethere will be any photography tomorrow unless we just run up on something. I want to take them to a movie. Sunday might be a different animal depending on the weather. There's a couple of railroad things in my area I need to go shoot and might actually be able to arrange a trip to the shop of one, but maybe not on this kind of short notice.

I will be at our mountain property Saturday...so I'll be "shooting" whatever catches my eye up there. :)

HUGE congrats JC!!!!!

A park rededication, family cookout, and 4 yo. Girls birthday party (tmnt theme). All for two different sides of the gfs family. Plus whatever catches my eye on Sunday.

I noticed Wednesday that the sun now rises behind a lone round granite uplift almost perfectly centered. Of course the weather denied me a chance at it past two days with empty threats of rain but should be clearer in the morning. Will be even better if there are some other clouds to set it off that much more but not needed. After that it all depends on how far and what direction I decide to drive. Still on the hunt for old abandoned buildings out in the country that can be photographed even if just from a distance.

Somewhere in Charleston, SC

I am hoping the river is busy on Sunday. Though I really need to go through my backlog of images.

Hoping to take some more macro images in the garden tomorrow. Heading into London on Sunday, the weather forecast is for heavy rain so I am thinking of reflection images in windows and puddles!

JC first grandchild, congratulations, such a special time :)

"Almost The Weekend! What Are We Shooting?"

Cocaine

Um, you don't shoot cocaine.

Grazi ffor the grats

JC-

Eighty year olds do things differently. No spoons to wash.

Congratulations, JC!

Grandkids are special.

Babies are fun to photograph. Older than that, you have to go into action mode.

Actually, pretty sure spoons are used for the same thing you would actually shoot.

How old do they have to be before I can teach them to surf?

JC

Like an e-cigarette---I shoot myself with a toy retractable needle that has the word "cocaine" printed on it. No pain....no gain.

Welcome to the club, JC and congratulations!

I'm heading to the local wetland trail. I've been there about fifty thousand times, so I'm going to put on the macro lens and see if I can find something tiny there that's at least a little interesting because there's only a few thousand times you can shoot the tree covered trails.....

Nothing! The forest fire smoke is so thick its unhealthy to go outside. Took some nice smoke pics in the direction of usually great mountain view.

Are you asking hunters or photographers?

Either way, NOTHING, this weekend.

As soon as he learns to swim. JC! :)

You are a young grandparent. It took me 60 years to become one.

If the sun is visible, I will be out photographing it over the harbor.

Hopefully a re-shoot of a barn I couldn't manage to get a couple of hours ago. It'll only take me about 5 minutes shooting from the truck while stopped in the road....if no traffic happens.

Maybe the mess in our garage? We're getting new engineered wood floors Monday and have to clean it out so we have a place to put the furniture for a few days :)

Grats JC! I will have to call u Pappy JC from now on! HAHA!

I often stop in the road or just off of the shoulder to shoot things :) With the camera, not the 12 gauge.

Mary I am all too familiar with the 1000 shots of the same thing. Swan Lake is my old faithful when it is too hot or I am just not in the mood for driving around.

Lions,Tigers and Bears oops you mean with a camera lol, Just came in to play with the shooting aspect. I actually hate guns and am a painter ,have fun everyone with your shooting this weekend :)

I think when I get home I will shoot my guns with my camera. The other way around gets expensive.

indeed JC! No shooting the cameras.

Alicia, so that's what their called, golden orb spider, thanks I didn't know it's name.

Myself in the foot, because I'd had fishing plans but the forecast called for two days of rain so I cancelled..

So this morning this was proven true, and I got started on some catch up editing

Now of course the weather's absolutely beyond belief in sublime perfection, and what am I still doing?

Grandchildren are exciting but I do love when I find a new Abilene AND the clear blue sky suddenly puffs with texture.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO

I have been shooting already but now I have tons of folders with never touched photos. And If I don't do them now, I know theyre will be waiting for another year..
Started with flowers photos.. So my weekends now will be dedicated to editing.
