One of my favorite parts about the open fields at Laumeier Sculpture Park is that you can see one massive sculpture at the same time as another. Sure does make for more options and considerations while composing a shot. I will of course be back here many more times to perfect compositions, but for this one I wanted to highlight both the beautiful clouds in the frame as well as one sculptures relation to another. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Playing By The Pond
While roaming around with a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 I borrowed from work, I decided to shoot this small sculpture. I could never get a good comp with how tight of a space it is here. With the 50mm and some bokeh panorama magic, I was able to get something quite useful. I will be heading out to the Botanical Garden this Friday to practice this technique with my Olympus E-PL5 and 45mm f/1.8 as I found it works quite well. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Fire House Detail
Nothing really special about this particular shot accept that it's helping me get even more excited about our upcoming trip. This was taken with my good old 50mm f/1.8D, which was a really great money and still is one of the best bangs for the buck. Can't wait to be standing on Main Street again, now with all the Halloween decorations, and shoot with all this new knowledge I've acquired over the last couple of years since I was there last. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Bokeh Bench For A Sculpture
This is another successful bokeh panorama from Laumeier Sculpture Park here in St. Louis. Off the main area of the park, there is a small path that wanders through the woods and stumbles upon more sculpture and art around many corners. This particular one, out in a field by itself, stood maybe 50 feet high, was really something that caught my eye from a distance. I tucked myself back into the trees to make my panoramic include that little bit of the trees. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - St. Louis Union Station Lights Up
This is a shot of the entrance to our St. Louis Union Station. More of a Mall with no stores in it at this point. But the architecture and the setting downtown still make this a destination for restaurants and a great hotel. Hopefully that helps turn around the rest of it, but with recent efforts to make our downtown a more welcoming place that seems more probable. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Crystal Arts From Below
Another shot I pulled from the 2011 archive and did a little B&W work to in order to bring it back to life. I had to post something of Disney relevance since we're now within 16 days of our trip! I also just found out we will be getting Magic Bands and MyMagic+ for our trip which is exciting as well. Not having to dig for a card after bag check will be nice with all my camera gear. Plus it will be awfully nice to not have to walk across a park for a fastpass. That means time for more photos! Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
