Sculpting on Sunday

I'm having one of those boring Sunday mornings. I decided to play around with ZBrush and, my Black Crow figure I made in Lightwave3D. I liked the results! I figured I would share them.

An Exercise in Observation Two

   Today was far to nice to be sitting in front of this computer. I took a little walk outside to clear my head and, I took my camera with me. These are a few shots I took. Nothing to special, just a few things I observed that I thought where worthy of a picture.

An Exercise in Observation

  This was from a little project I was doing a while back. The pictures I am posting range from July 2009 to April 2010. The pictures where taken in the spring, summer, and fall for the most part. I took these pictures as a way to observe my surroundings. I called it “Exercise in Observation” because the act of taking the pictures forced me to stop for a minute and really observe all of the small things around me that I usually would not pay attention to.  I had some rules for this exercise. All the pictures had to be taken in my yard. The reasoning behind this was simple. I wanted to really look at the beauty that immediately surrounds me every day. These are things that are right outside my door. Things I feel I should take the time to notice but, in the hustle and bustle that is life, I never do.  I am very pleased with all of the pictures. Some of them show me things in nature that are just amazing. Shapes, colors and, patters that I find very pleasing to the eye.  I have hundreds of these pictures on my hard drive. I chose to limit myself to about fifty pictures on this thread. I did not want to make this thread to big. I went through them all this morning and decided on the ones I liked best. The first picture is a panoramic shot of my yard in the summer. It gives you an idea of the area I was working with when I captured all these pictures. I plan on continuing this exercise this spring. I would like to allow myself to go into the back woods here and see what kind of neat things I can find. All pictures where taken with a cheap Canon Powershot SD1400 digital camera that I purchased for my Wife a few years ago. I am impressed with this camera’s ability to get a nice clean shot with a great depth of field. Here are a few of the pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
