ANOTHER rainy holiday - what's a landscaper to do?

[CXC]

Even here in California it is wet and dreary. Usually when I have a day off I throw the 8x10 in the car and go prospecting for imagery. Doesn't everybody? Today I seem to be reduced to reading people's snipes at each other about ReadyLoad film plane accuracy (see previous post). Maybe the weather has us all a bit touchy.

Maybe I'll take a portrait of my wife, reading calmly 5 feet away from me. Any other indoor suggestions for an outdoor guy?

CXC,

Of course, I am not practicing what I preach, but how about a still life or something? Maybe some shots of old rusty tools or something. Me -- my three year old wants me to watch the replay of the Rose Parade with him. So that is what I will be doing for a while.

Happy new year.

Work on your rationale for taking tomorrow off. The storm is supposed to clear out late tonight, so tomorrow will have clean skies, gorgeous clouds, and snow-capped mountains. Who needs work with scenery like that?

[Curtis Nelson]

As soon as I feel better, I'll be making a still-life of all the cold medicines I've been taking lately.

When I just have to take a photo, I usually buy a couple flowers and shoot them on black.
I think they grow cala lily's just for days like this.

There's no law that says you have to take photos only when the sun is shining. Why not go out and make some moody landscape shots? Make sure you have some sort of cover for the camera, and an umbrella for yourself though.

Its the new year hangover. Alcohol is a depressant and will take a few days to get out of your system. Then we can revert to sober flame wars!

Go photograph puddles with rain drop ripples and reflections. Ask the wife to be assistant and hold the umbrella.

Your wife's sitting five feet away from you,........................................and you can't think of something to do? :^).

Hope you don't have just modern, sharp, well-corrected lenses.
