We are off down south for a few days. I will leave you with a couple of recent shots, both of which result from experimenting with my recently acquired "Little Nik". The first was an attempt to see what the camera could do with hand-held night shots. One is tempted to say "not a lot", but I am quite fond of the image. All it needs is a catchy title - "Symphonica 13" - and it may catch on.
The second image was another shot gone wrong. It started as a slightly out of focus shot of some fallen Autumn leaves. I tried to sharpen it up using Photoshop and obviously pressed the wrong button. For this one, I couldn't even begin to think of a catchy title.
I will leave you to ponder these images whilst I venture into the deep south.
Photo number two may have gone wrong, but it's almost like a lovely painting of- Autumn's burst of color!
ReplyDelete"Fall Fractals" - reminds me of fractals, the leaves that is.
ReplyDeleteFor #2 I suggest "Hommage a Seurat".
ReplyDeleteBit of camera shake there Alan.
ReplyDeleteLove # 2 ! It looks like a chrysanthemum. But even more interesting to me are the multitude of colors that make up the fallen leaves. How about 'Beauty in Death'? I could give you a sermon on what prompted that thought -- but I won't, so breathe easy. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. The more I look at it the more I like it. Would you be willing to let me make a copy of it ?-- not for profit but maybe for use on my blog, giving you credit of course. I think you can get my email from the past. If not, please leave me a comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteNo.2 could be a close-up of a butterfly wing.
ReplyDeleteI like these. A pair of happy accidents. How far south are you travelling?
ReplyDeleteDefinite like.
ReplyDeleteVery artistic. The 2nd shot is actually very good! You're venturing south? - as a stranded southerner, I'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful art that you can still take credit for even if accidental on purpose.
ReplyDeleteTo those who were asking, the Deep South equals Ewell, a few miles south of London. Tomorrow I will go "up to town" if the weather is half decent.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a grand time! You will need some practice with that newfangled camera:)
ReplyDeleteI came here via ChrisJ's post of your wonderful (2nd) shot. I wrote a lengthy comment about it on her blog but will add here that I would proudly display that in my home if I had a wall grand enough to contain it. It's wonderful. Also liked the first photo. Mistakes sometimes work out just the way they should :)
