Five Frames Outside the High Museum 2020

I visited Atlanta in January, 2020 and had two days to devote to photography. Last week I posted some pinhole photography from the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This week I’m showing some photos from outside The High Museum of Art.

Audience of One

I found this piano and chair in an outside corridor. The concert is about to begin. Have your ticket ready. Seating is limited.

Rainy Day Plaza

I was getting ready to shoot the reflections from the wet sidewalk when this office worker came out of the museum and started across the plaza. I got off a few shots as she crossed. I like this one best.

Head in the Clouds

In case you hadn’t noticed, it was a gray and rainy day in Atlanta. The low-hanging clouds obscured the top of this building giving a moody aspect to this scene.

Chairs and American House III

I liked the look of these green chairs against the wet ground. Then I spotted House III by Roy Lichtenstein in the background. House III was featured in an earlier post, Five More Frames from the High. House III looks three-dimensional but it is actually two flat panels set at an angle. It looks like a house from several angles, but if you get up close you can spot the deception. I took a shot from the end of one of the flat panels. I’ll feature it in a later post.

Chairs and Tables

The silver chairs and tables shining against the wet ground caught my eye. The red chairs accent the silver. I was all set. Then the tree jumped in. Snap!

Bonus Frame

I confess, this scene isn’t near the High Museum. It’s from the mall near out hotel. I caught this light one evening late, standing guard by the escalator in an almost-deserted mall near our hotel.


These photos were made with a Canon 6DII wearing a Canon 24-70mm zoom lens. The photos were processed from RAW files using Darktable, free software available for Windoze, Mac, and Linux.
