Railing at Sunset                                                ©2011 Alan Schrank

APG's Portfolio Show 2011 entries close in less than two weeks.  I'm hard at work selecting and eliminating images for my entry.

This room is above and behind the stage of a school I've visited many times over the summer. Here, the sunset light is entering around the plywood covering the set of windows.

Once the moon had risen above the frame, it provided a lovely orange path across the ocean.

I took this picture a an old building I've been exploring. I'm sure I'll show you many more.

Train Yard                                                                                ©2011 Alan Schrank

Every time I drive down 85 and see this train yard I say to myself "self, you should take some pictures of that", but untill the other morning I never did. I'll have to do it again another day with a "big" camera as this is with my g11 rested on the railing. But I like it.

Window Light                                                 ©2011 Alan Schrank

Most of the window is covered with plywood, most of the window is covered with grime. There is not enough, though, to keep out the light.

Coat Hook                                                    ©2011 Alan Schrank

When I was a kid going to school at "Our Lady Queen of Peace" we had a coat room at the back with hooks like this for our coats, jackets and misc gear.  I took this picture while exploring this past weekend.

Someone went wild with paint.

Plexiglass Shadows #2                                                        ©2011 Alan Schrank

A few walls of the museum were not painted white. Here the display case, the sky generate shadows on the red/orange of the wall.

I admit, I've boosted the saturation of the blue, but even without that, it is blue. I think it has to do with the blue sky outside and the way light is refracted inside the glass.

I noticed a lot of the displays were protected by glass (or plexi) cases. I wasn't as interested by the contents as I was by the interplay of the light and shadows cast by them.

Spaghetti Junction 2011                                                                   ©2011 Alan Schrank

Driving up 85 from Atlanta earlier this year. Compare it to my picture of Spaghetti Junction from 2003 you'll see similarity of composition, but great differences of technique.

Mailbox Detail 2011                                                                  ©2011 Alan Schrank

A few weeks ago my friends at the Southeastern Photographic Society arranged a photo taking opportunity  at Star Metals in Atlanta.  I will say it was HOT, I only lasted a couple of hours.

I've rotated this picture 90 degrees clockwise, the letters were actually parallel to the ground, should I rotate it back or keep it this way?

As I walked around the High, the sky went from overcast to mixed clouds and sun. Here I'm looking across the ceiling from the 3rd floor.
