Harry and I have walked over this sidewalk nearly every day for more than four years and I've photographed almost every part of it in all kinds of weather. I am continuously surprised by how different the wear patterns are. It makes a difference, for example, whether it gets sun in the morning (dries out faster) or afternoon (remains ice-covered longer.) Similarly, it makes a difference if a tree overhangs (fallen leaves keep it wet.) I've often thought of collecting them and publishing them as "Four Years Behind the Dog."
Reminds me of some of the stuff I've done with lichen and moss.
Good work, Andrew!
Love this. It's strange the interplay between technology and the everyday. Now that there are so many drone shots around, it's really meaningful and interesting to see something like this that is so close to "home"
Perhaps a book called DJI-Harry?
These are not drone shots. The only drone I own is not capable of reasonable quality photography. I shot these (hand-held) from eye-level with my Nikon D810 (FX-format DSLR) and a 70-300mm zoom at 70mm. (If you have a spare DJI, I promise to make good use of it.)
I'm afraid my message wasn't clear. I meant that at a glance, I could easily mistake this for a drone shot and that's a product of how drone photography in general has already etched a place in my brain.
The fact that you took this from a few feet off the ground rather than 400 feet is very cool.
Solid work Andrew :-)
