    Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corp. – 28 year retirement watch

    February 19, 2024 / No Comments

    I’ve been photographing jewelry recently because all the reflections make it quite difficult so I wanted the challenge. As I was searching for some jewelry to photograph I came upon Dad’s retirement watch from the Wallingford Steel Mill, later to become Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation. It’s about 30 years old because, I believe, he retired in 1993/1994 at the age of 60. It wasn’t long after he retired that he gave me the watch because he knew it would mean a lot to me.

    Flaming feather!

    January 9, 2024 / No Comments

    This is a close up shot of a portion of a bird feather. I snipped off the upper portion of the feather and pulled away many of the feathers along the stem to achieve this look. It was photographed in studio setting with studio lighting. I felt that feather mimicked the look of being on fire hence the name of this blog entry. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp, mirrorless camera and a Sony 90mm F2.8 Macro lens. 1.6 sec., F16, ISO 100, MANUAL MODE
