Light!

I love light and color! I took Alec to soccer practice last week and walked a minute over to the river. The herons were all feeding in the fading daylight, it was so incredibly beautiful! I was really wishing my Dad could have seen it, he would have loved it. There must have been about thirty or so birds, all dive-bombing the water in their search for dinner.

This little putt-putt boat slowly appeared and I loved the silhouette it created. I only had my iPhone with me, but I think it did an OK job here!

This is a street in Norwich, in England. It was just before Christmas and we'd had a drizzly day. As the sun went down and the lights came on the pavement began glowing with reflections.

When I took the photo I was thinking of one of my (many) favorite paintings, Paris Street Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte.

Evening sky over parking lot in Jacksonville!

I have been neglecting my blog for the last 6 months and have decided to continue updating it with my musings, links and random stuff!

Thanks for stopping by!

Photoshop

Recent "Line" Photo's

One of the assignments for my online Digital Photography students was to take pictures that showed the element LINE. A couple of these also show framing, as the students were learning about.
This first one was taken in Dorset, England. When I took the photo (sprawled on the ground) I dropped my train ticket! Had to run back for it when the train came.

This one was taken in Wilmington, NC last weekend. I was thinking about the line assignment.

I took this in Wales a year and a half ago.

I took this in Asheville, NC from the Biltmore gardens. (Framing!)

This was taken a few years ago in Paris. I was standing inside Marie Antoinette's jail cell! I loved the light and the lines of the window and the shadow.
