Turqouise Window & Shutters


     I really like this shot, i like windows and doors, i like detail and interest, here the shutters really make the picture, very interesting wood cracks and lines and hinges, and the sunny reflection in the bottom half of the window gives it a three dimensional-ness, and of course the door matches, but the shutters seem slightly faded to a lighter colour, even the moss / discolouring at the top and bottom of the shot adds to the picture, well it's another turquoise photo like yesterday.

Footprints In The Sand


     What a lovely shot, a beautiful silhouette, some 'laws' of photography seem to be broken here, one is to never have the subject directly in the centre of the frame, and here the parent / child are in the centre, as well as the strong reflected sunlight is in the centre too, however it still works a treat, there's a lovely shadow / reflection of the people, and footprints in the dry sand, but washed away in the wet, and you can see the line between the dry and wet, there's a luminous glow about the cool wet sand, you can almost smell the sea.

Windows / Reflection


     Here's a nice shot of a building, by shooting a shot of a different building!, the actual building being shot, is horizontally straight, and in the middle vertically straight up, but fans out as the upper floors reveal an increasing number of windows, you can see the overhead lights inside some of the floors, the reflected building opposite also has vertical lines parallel to first building, but the horizontal lines are at a nice angle, creating some lovely shapes, the sky / clouds are also seen between the two reflected buildings, a really nice photo with lots of interest for the eye to move around.

Dappling Sunlight


     Here's more of an abstract photo, and yet teeming with interest, it may at first seem a monochrome of blue and white, yet in reality it's a kaleidoscope of colours!, and shapes too, what gives it it's distinctiveness is the glaring sunlight top right, there's slight sunbursts in the lower sunlights, giving it an incandescence which is nicely overwhelming, the lines get more wavy and larger at the bottom, it's almost like you want to splash into them, and more darker / coloured at the top, it's like looking at clouds, you invent things up in them, the photo seems really 'wet'.
