Abandoned

While staying near Rufus, Oregon, I came across this grain elevator that appears to have been abandoned and sits at the end of an unused rail line.

Father and Son

Black And White Photography, Marcus, Photography

When roaming the streets doing Street Photography, my camera is always set to a high contrast monochrome profile. Not that I couldn’t convert the RAW files to black & white later on. But I love to see the scene and my composition in monochrome when I look through the viewfinder. And even when the eyes are “hunting” for stories of the streets to capture, I have black & white in mind. When I saw those two doing father and son things while sitting in a street café after nightfall, I saw the light and knew it would give me the perfect monochrome shot. Image specs were 1/13 sec @ f/5.6 and ISO 1600. Focal length was a 240mm full frame equivalent. Shot on an Olympus OM-D E-M1.

Kerið Crater is one of the volcanic craters of the Tjarnarhólar crater group in the Grímsnes area of southwest Iceland, it’s one of the stops along the iconic Golden Circle day tour.  The volcano was estimated to have been active between 6,400 – 9,000 years ago.
