Went to NC MOA last Tuesday for the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit but I was much more impressed with Dylan Gebbia-Richards wax panels (OMNI). I loved the textures and colors in these artistic panels. These wall panels weigh over 400 lbs each. They have a wax base and then pigment powders are applied to various areas. These shapes on the panels are formed from many layers of colorful paraffin wax and resin. The irregular textures protrude from the wall and intrude into the gallery. He describes his work as landscapes, "Each of my pieces is a microcosm of the natural world. The works are formed by the same physical laws of the universe which dictate how dessert bluffs erode, rivers carve out deltas, and uplift forms of mountains. I took these images with my Panasonic Lumix. You can see that the way the panels were hung on the close up shots there were edges that were not in sharp focus due to decreased depth of field --also not all the particles in the same plane with the ridges and valleys.
Was out looking for fall colored leaves to photograph in Greensboro. The maple tree leaves have a lot of variation in oranges & red colors. There are a lot of young ginko trees @ Target parking lot on Lawndale. Only a few had more of the yellow color and could use the blue sky as a background. It has been difficult to get out to capture images when not raining or windy this fall. Taken with the Panasonic camera which as a zoom to capture the sky as a background but better to go before sun becomes too bright. Minor editing for saturation with PSE 15,
