October Sunset in Denver

October Sunset in Denver, Colorado from City Park

With some wildfires just southwest of Denver I headed out to City Park in early October to photograph the skyline at sunset. Sometimes the light smoke at the areas will give a little more orange during sunset than normal and this was the case with this image. From my position in City Park I was able to position the setting sun at the Wells Fargo Building (Cash Register) and the mountains. Taking the image towards the sun also allowed me to silhouette the skyline of the city as well as the mountain skyline in the distance.

Harpa

Harpa in Reykjavik, Iceland

While I spent much time photographing the details of Harpa in Reykjavik, I also did capture some of the entire building to help provide context. Looking at a building like this can be quite overwhelming about where to photograph first. When I first walked up to Harpa it was from along the shoreline which allowed me to key in on some detail of the building first prior to moving around to explore all the little pieces. This let me get comfortable with the different shapes and patterns prior to starting to photograph other areas, and also taking breaks to allow my mind to reset and start new in different areas.

Reykjavik Reflection

Reykjavik Reflection

Walking around a city is the best way for you to experience the city itself. On one day in Reykjavik I did just that and started to explore. As I headed down one street I found a nice reflection of the modern building right next to it and worked through the parked cars to find the best angle to capture the image.

Fall Afternoon in City Park

Fall Afternoon in City Park - Denver, Colorado

On a fall afternoon in Denver I headed out to City Park to photograph at sunset. Being just past the autumnal equinox the light was still behind the city skyline as I waited for sunset. Taking advantage of this afternoon light I composed by scene and let the light flow into the background which provided a source to backlight the city as well as the trees within the park.

Details of Harpa

Details of Harpa in Reykjavik, Iceland

The main concert hall in Reykjavik is Harpa which was designed to resemble the landscape around Iceland. As I walked around the city and passed by the building I would always stop as throughout the day and varying conditions the facade looks quite different. For this image I zoomed in at the gap of the two main components of the complex. This allowed the detail of the building to show as well as giving the glass different sizes in the frame based on their location.

My Colorado Exhibition

By

The My Colorado exhibition is now on display at Denver International Airport. Over 4,000 images were submitted by photographers in Colorado to share their vision of Colorado’s past, present and future. The photograph Top of the Dunes which I took at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve was one of the 35 images selected. Furthermore, I was notified earlier this month my image was also selected as one of the four images to be included on the poster and other promotional elements of the exhibition.

My Colorado - Denver International Airport

The following images are from the actual location of my work closer to Level 3 of the Y-Juncture Gallery on Concourse A. The prints in this exhibit are all 27″ x 40″ and were printed by Reed Art and Imaging.

 

 

 

 

Viewing the Exhibition

The exhibit is on the mezzanine level of Concourse A (Y-Juncture Gallery), until March 2020. This is beyond security so you will either need a ticket or be passing through Denver International Airport to view the work.

Access via Bridge Security: Once you have passed through security and crossed the bridge at the fork in the walkway head to the left. My photograph is the last one on this side of the exhibit. From here you can either head to the right and will see signs for the elevators to get you to the train if you are heading to Concourse B or C.

Access via Train: If you are heading to the concourses get off the train at Concourse A and go to the left (it will be the right if you are headed to the terminal). Walk pass the escalators to the elevator and take this to level 4. Once off the elevator you will head towards the bridge but prior to walking across the bridge take a right and this is the location of the exhibit, with my image being the last one on this side. From here you can either head to the right and will see signs for the elevators to get you to the train if you are heading to Concourse B or C. To get from the terminal from here you can either take the elevators to the train or walk up the ramp and over the bridge to the terminal.

To help locate the exhibit I have identified the location in red, with the red dot the location of my piece Top of the Dunes.

 

Win a Print

As part of the exhibition I am giving away a print of Top of the Dunes. Just be a member of the Neil Corman Photography e-mail list and on Saturday November 30th one name will be selected to receive a print (13.5″ x 20″) of this piece. You can join the e-mail list below.

Ceiling at Hallgrímskirkja

Hallgrímskirkja Church Ceiling in Iceland

Standing at the center of Hallgrímskirkja I looked straight up at the ceiling. At first it reminded a little of the canvas roof of Denver International Airport, but that thought quickly went past. The symmetry is what I then moved onto, which is quite common in churches however the light pouring in gave it a look which was a little different to me. I found a spot which ensured I was in the center and then pointed my lens straight upward making sure the sides of the frame were equal. On purpose I moved just a little to have more space at the top of the frame then the bottom to not make the image perfectly symmetrical.

Timelapse: Leaving Union Station in Denver

By

Recently I took the Amtrak California Zephyr west from Denver. Being in the back part of the train I was able to position myself looking out the back of the coach while we departed Union Station.

As we depart the station you will see all of the new development in that area. A little further in the timelapse, Coors Field will be on the left followed by a passing RTD University of Colorado A Line train which is heading to Denver International Airport.
