Salt Pond Colors


cris benton

This photograph and most of the others I have posted on Photo.net are taken from kite-lofted cameras. A kite, unseen in the image, supports a small, radio-controlled cradle that holds the camera. I can position the camera by walking around and/or letting out or retrieving kite line. I aim the camera and fire its shutter using the radio while I stay at the ground end of the kite line. The camera can rotate through the compass, tilt from horizon to nadir, and change from portrait to landscape format. I compose my images by watching the camera and imagining what it would see. The whole process entertains me to no end.

The South San Francisco Bay salt evaporation ponds take on a variety

of colors due to halophilic organisms that adapt to the various

salinities of the ponds. It makes for a vibrant landscape. Prompted by

a recent post in the

page

(thanks Kelly) I revisited the idea of a color collage today.

These are aerial photographs, most taken from kites, others from

poles. This project is like a jog saw puzzle. How would you put them

together?

Excellent color and texture. I love the way you arrange the collage. You must have put a lot of thought into the process.

Hello Cris

 

I am an aspiring quilter. I also take the occasional abstract shot, in an amateurish way, of lines and forms.

 

But *you*, oh my, do it all in a way I would love to aspire to...excellent, truly excellent.

 

What a superb collage. Do you quilt sir, she asked, tongue in cheek....

 

Happy New Year !
