52 Frames - Week 42: Door - Tell a story where the subject of your photo is a door

Door of the Dead - Sleepy Hollow Cemetery

We are traveling this week and my sister-in-law lives in Tarrytown, NY. Right next door to Sleepy Hollow! October is a national holiday in this area! We took a driving tour through the cemetery and I captured this unique above ground tomb. The architecture was very unique and I captured an interesting door for the challenge!

I thought about cropping in to highlight the door more, but the building gives it the context for the story!

52 Frames - Week 40: Shot with a cell phone - Apple iPhone 16 Pro

“ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - Posed in Rochester ”

Downtown Rochester Hills, Michigan hosts an event every fall on a Thursday night to attract visitors, buyers, and diners to downtown! The event is called POSED and features live mannequins! Companies coordinate with organizations for this friendly and creative competition! This year's theme was Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

A great opportunity for the cell phone challenge! I used my iPhone 16 Pro with a phone application add on called Pi Indigo. Since it was getting dark it permitted me to ensure the shutter speed stayed at 1/125 of a second.

I took 20 different store front photos, uploaded, and edited them in Lightroom. The biggest challenge was the reflections in the window. I was able to use the AI Removal Tool to clean most of the reflections. I felt that KISS best represented!

52 Frames - Week 39: Golden Hour - Right before, slightly after sunrise, or right before, slightly after sunset is golden hour. The sun is low on the horizon and the angle that the sun's rays hit the atmosphere paints beautiful colors in the sky!

I captured this photo while camping next to the Grand River, at Riverboat RV Park west of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This is a unique RV Park! The owner built a river boat queen rear paddle wheel boat. They provide scenic cruises up and down the Grand River! This is the morning sky looking east across the Grand River!

52 Frames - Week 38: Music - Anna and her achievements

Our youngest daughter, Anna, played the flute in high school. She was an excellent flutist and gained numerous honors at District Competitions. She played in the Adams High School Marching Band and Concert Band all four years.

Although she did not continue playing after high school, Mom and Dad were very proud of what she achieved!

52 Frames - Week 37: Black & White

GI Joe reading a letter from Home

I have been working with the Michigan WW2 Legacy Memorial since 2016. They are constructing a memorial to honor veterans, especially those from Michigan, and the people at home that supported them! There have been numerous fund-raising galas over the years, construction of the site, casting of bronze statues, selling memorial bricks, and honoring our still living WWII Veterans, and Rosie the Riveters!

There is still a significant amount of money to be raised, estimated at $2 Million dollars. The board works hard to encourage corporations and individuals to contribute. There is a large memorial wall planned and numerous additional statues to tell the entire story of how Michigan, along with the Arsenal of Democracy helped to win the war!

This is GI Joe reading a letter from home!

52 Frames - Week 35: Shaped with Light

RV Lifestyle Mini Meetup around the camp fire!

We have a camper van and belong to RV Lifestyle, a community of like minded RV campers! We are having a mini-meetup near our home in Michigan. Addison Oaks County Campground is 15 miles north east of our home. 16 RVs of different shapes and sizes and 28 adults of different shapes and sizes, along with dogs are camping out and enjoying each others company! Stories are told around the campfire and it was the perfect opportunity to capture a scene with the fire shaping the light around everyone’s faces!

52 Frames - Night Photography: Capturing a scene at night after the sun goes down and the stars come out usually requires a tripod, wider aperture, and a longer exposure. I decided to stalk the alleys in downtown Rochester, Michigan for this week's challenge. I captured numerous scenes in the shadows but submitted the first one. I imagine there are various stories to be told in the shadows! , , , , , , ,

52 Frames - Week 32: Leading Lines - It could be the edge of a sidewalk, a shadow, a beam of light, a curve of a stream bank, the edge of the ocean, or the side of a building. There are many things that can create leading lines in your photography. The key is to have them leading towards the subject of your photo! This allows you to draw the viewers eye to that subject.

Elliott Bell/Clock Tower - Oakland University

Donated by longtime supporters Hugh and Nancy Elliott, the Elliott Tower is a rallying point for student activities and creates a stunning visual centerpiece for Oakland’s campus.

The carillon plays the soundtrack to Oakland’s campus with the traditional Westminster Quarter chimes.

Elliott Tower is the last carillon to have its bells and keyboard to be cast by the Petit and Fritsen Royal Bell foundry in the Netherlands, which had been around since 1660. It features a fully chromatic 49-bell carillon. The largest bell is a low C, weighing around 5,000 pounds and measuring 5 feet in diameter, while the smallest bell is a high C, weighing in at only 24 pounds. The total weight of all bells is more than 30,000 pounds – that’s over 15 tons
