Best wishes for the holidays everyone, and thanks Leanne 🙂
The brilliant yellows of the murals of the Musée National Fernand Léger, Ville de Biot in the South of France.
Photography 101: Triumph – Triumph usually denotes drama of some sort, no matter whether it’s big or small.
The Arc de Triomphe on the last lap of the Tour de France. I confess to taking this photo during this year’s TV broadcast adding a little extra blur to the pelaton to highlight the sense of speed and drama.
Photography 101: Double – Today, you and your camera are seeing double.
Photography 101: Edge – Today is all about straight edges, and tweaking your image to ensure your lines are perfectly positioned.
The Weekly Photo Challenge: Converge – Photos are visual spaces where shapes and lines, objects, and people come together
I was going to discard this over-exposed photo that I took last weekend of a girl in a red scarf walking along the railway tracks. However, after a little editing the image developed a certain edginess that had a mesmerizing quality to it. I hope you agree. I originally posted this for Photography 101 two days ago but with Ben’s Weekly Photo Challenge today asking us to “explore the ways lines and shapes can converge in interesting ways through photography” I have updated the post for Ben’s challenge as it seems to be the perfect fit, particularly as I had originally thought of giving it the title “The Vanishing Point Vanishes”.
Photography 101: Landscape – It’s a big world out there! Show us what you see in a landscape.
It doesn’t get much bigger than this view from the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
Photography 101: Swarm – …to move about in great numbers…
The swarming colors of the festivities in Cusco’s Plaza de Armas leading up to Inti Raymi, the Inca festival of the winter solstice: from a gallery of photos that I posted after our Peruvian adventure last year.
Photography 101: Moment – Cheri reminds us that… Our lives are made up of big events and tiny moments. Ultimately, life is fleeting, and oftentimes it’s these small moments we love to document…
…such as this little boy and his sister playing in the fountains of the Los Angeles Music Center.
