Seems like a good idea to make photos from time to time that show contrasting colors and shapes…like here. This was taken along the side of some steps leading to the main door of a church. The painted concrete “ball” is what I wanted to highlight with the colors behind.
Sort of an interesting story about this photo. I was driving into Eden, NC the other day, and of course I had my camera with me. As I neared a United Methodist church, I noticed some nice colorful bushes in front that caught my eye. So, I pulled into the parking lot and took a few snaps. As I was getting into the car to leave, I noticed in a frosted window at the side of the church, what appeared to be a flower basket of some sort inside. I immediately thought it looked like a pastel painting just as it was, so I made this photo to capture the moment. One might say I digitally manipulated the scene to make it look like a painting…something I often do. But in this case, it “is” as it “was.”
Here are two photos I made recently that highlight two main colors…brown and yellow. Interesting to see the flowers budding out so early this year.
The lone window in the midst of all these stone and masonry patterns made for an interesting composition…especially in black and white. A spotted leopard could be hidden in there somewhere, eh?
Yes…it’s only a cracked wall but it’s also interesting to look at from a creative standpoint.
I was parked on the main street in Old Salem, North Carolina and as I was opening the door to get into my Toyota I noticed this image. What caught my eye was the tree shadow on the white wall, with contrasting brick above and below. It’s taken me many years to develop what I’ll call a “camera eye” and I’m seeing some progress in that regard. What that means is that I tend to look all around me as I go about my day, judging what might look good if it were to be made into a digital photo. Given that I usually have a camera with me, that’s an easy task. Sometimes I get lucky, most times not.
