I spent some time wandering around the city, seeing the changes over the past few years. The slow economy has hit Cleveland hard, but the housing crisis has been much worse. And the Flats have really changed since I lived in Cleveland.
I was able to do a little shooting during my time in Ohio -- from oddities in the Flats, to reverse camera macros, to long exposure night photography, to museums, I fit in a lot of experimentation in a short while.
I found this odd structure in the Flats, and still have no idea what it is, or why it's there. I do know, however, that security guards at Federal Courthouses are very touchy about where you park. I wasn't hauled in for interrogation, but I think they ran my license plates, and I was given a firm talking-to.
The window light streaming in from the security lights next-door was pretty eerie. A long-exposure brings out the quality of light.
I had fun experimenting with macro photography using a reversing ring. I did realize, however, that serious macro work will require a more intricate tripod head, and am considering something that will make minute adjustments. Until then, however, it is still amazing for abstracts:
And, of course, I came across some very interesting architectural detail. It just happened to be in the women's restroom of the Canton Museum of Art.
