Grant,
Well done, Adam. Boy those windows are just gorgeous in Photo #2, especially the way they are framed. The color of the window seat agrees with the colors of the framing and certainly its natural and rustic appearance blends with the scenery below.
The view of the bay and clouds overhead is breathtaking. I am guessing you chose B&W because the CLOUDS are the STARS in this one.
Thanks for starting our daily.
Dave,
Yes, your photo is proof that your cloudy day was a perfect day for photographing flowers. It is amazing how the huge white box in the sky brings out the colors as compared to the effect the sun has on them.
As promised, I have something to share today. I used it for another FLICKR Challenge, Photoelasticity.
You should try it, it was a fun experiment creating the effect of Polarized light. All you need is a Polarized Filter, your computer screen and some plastic.
In my case, I created a blank white image that filled my laptop's screen. I turned the computer flat so I could then put a plastic liner from a package of chocolate chip cookies that were already devoured by us on the white screen. I looked through the viewfinder of my camera after attaching a polarized filter to it and WHAM, the colors were so cool. And as you rotated the filter, the colors would change. But to make it more interesting and magnify the colors, I added a crystal ball that I have taken photos of on several occasions. I thought of putting this photo in our current "ROUND" challenge but wanted to share all the details here with you here instead.
Maybe give it a try, right? Go through your house and look for plastic items, such a clear plastic dinnerware, plastic packing or wrapping from food items, etc. You can use your computer screen or IPAD, or even phone after creating a pure BLANK White background for your screen, and then the final element is the polarizing filter. Can't create this effect without it. If you don't have a laptop or IPAD, you can place the plastic items in front of your desktop monitor and achieve the same effect.
So, are you ready for the result?
Wait no further, here it is:
