Jude’s 2020 Photo Challenge #42: Octobers Theme/Technique – Seascapes
One of my favourite songs to listen to while you scroll
This week's assignment - look for patterns and / or textures along the seashore, this might be in the rocks or shells or seaweed. Try using different depths of field with the same subject then compare them to see which you prefer.
The Sand Images
With water
Made by Sand Crabs up close
Intricate patterns are made
The receding water patterns
The shells and pebbles water patterns
A small Jellyfish and seaweed with bonus bubbles
Windblown Pig-face, buried flower and a stick
Sand textures, dune grass and shadows
Footprints in the sand
I used to cling to rocks now I make an interesting patterns in the sand
The Rock Pool Images
Algae makes a bold colour statement
The folds and patterns of the rocks, the green of the seaweed and subtle sand shapes
The Shells
A close photo of a broken shell accentuated sand and shadow
A contrast and almost moving shell
Using light on the lighter side of the shell leading to a darker side where the shadow resides
Interest is raised by the lines and colours on the shell
The Rocks
Using black and white to accentuate the shadows and highlight the shapes
Looking at subtle colours and textures
Looking at bold colours and textures
The Weekly Prompts Photo Challenge: Ladders
I do seem to have many ladders, from the small step ladder to a rather big ladder that reaches to giddy heights. The ladder I thought I would show you is one that was found in a garage sale and I find quite a cute little ladder, I have used this ladder in other posts such as a black and white challenge from Cee. It has changed location since then and has a few different pot plants who love to sit thereon.
Franks Tuesday Photo Challenge: Fuzzy
OK the feature photo is just a distraction for the actual fuzzy photos.
I had some ideas over the past couple of days but decided to go with this bit of fuzziness I found on the weekend on the way to the farmers market.
A photo challenge from Lost in Translation: Once Over
I like this photo challenge as I quite often am not satisfied with a photo I have taken and want to try and capture the feeling or mood when I was attempting to get what I wanted.
Here is the original – the closest of many photos to what I hoped to achieve.
What I wanted but just couldn’t adjust my camera to the right settings to achieve was a dark background in order to fringe highlight the small hairs on the begonia leaves and stems. Once I had manipulated the image to what I desired, I then removed some of the elements that I didn’t want in the photo with cropping and cloning.
This is my final result.
I thought for a while what I could do for Lost in Translations Black and White Sunday theme of Texture. I like collecting Begonias as their leaves are so different but is mainly the colour of the leaves that is the draw card for people. I wonder how many look closely at the leaves?
Here is a selection of the few plants I have in my sun room.
This one has lots of little hairs
The leaves have little lumps and bumps
Some leaves grow quite big
Some are small. This one also has fine hairs all over the leaf.
As an afterthought, I should show the some of the leaves in colour
I have gone for a plant theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: All One Colour look here for other fabulous all one colour photos.
Some photos are close, some are just some of my favourites.
