This picture, and your second example, both look like they could have appeared in the New Topographics exhibition and book. Well seen!

Thanks! I'm oddly drawn to dead straight photos of things, for some reason.

 

[Brendan Quirk]

I am unfamiliar with New Topographics. They look a lot like my pics. How dare they copy me!!!

Nice picture, very on-target. What lens?

Nice picture, very on-target. What lens?

Probably an Elmar 50. I don't really keep track of lenses, but that's what's normally on that camera.

I thought it might be wider.

 

[Don_ih]

I thought it might be wider.

I have an Elmar 35 - that might have been it. I doubt it, though.

I'm " under construction " but enjoying your uploads, let them comming! Great work so far!

 

[Bertus]

Left handed from the hospital, one old example. I wish everyone a lot of creativity and inspiration.

I can't figure out what I'm seeing here. Would you like your post copied to the "Post your Abstract Photography" thread?
Get well soon Bertus.

WW 1 era artillery observation tower at Fort Washington, on the Potomac River.

Artillery positions, Fort Washington, Maryland. Part of the defenses of Washington DC, and the site of the most embarrassing military debacles of the War of 1812. The commander of the fort, upon seeing the approaching British ships, and after enduring a relatively brief assault, surrendered the fort with little resistance.
