Picture Perfect - "Reflecting"

Fire!!!

The week I chose to return and participate with Picture Perfect, coincides with one of my favourite styles of photography with which I love to get creative. Not so much reflections of mountains on lakes etc but I love to find in photographs reflections that I can either create some artistic photos or a photo that could pass for a piece of artwork - like the one I chose above. I have many many reflection pieces I have played with in my archives but I decided to challenge myself and limit myself to finding  something I could use as a post from the photos I have in my camera at the moment - above is what I came up with. It is to me a type of reflection that can be framed and hung on a wall to co-ordinate with a colour scheme in a room or as abackground for some photoshop creation or a web page background or if not to your taste chuck it in the bin!! This is from a photo of a sunrise on a local river. It was cropped, inverted, framed, a signature applied and voila!!!

If interested I made a blog, a year or so back, on how I create, what I call artwork, from reflections from photos - could be worth a look.

Images & Words # 155 ----Earth Day

Genesis 1:10-11

Bartlets Beach, Bonny Hills, NSW. Austrailia.

And God called the dry land Earth,
and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas.
And God saw that it was good.

Then God said,
“Let the earth bring forth grass,
the herb that yields seed,
and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind,
whose seed is in itself,
on the earth”;
and it was so.

Genesis 1

Next Shot Week 7 - Technique: Creating Depth - Theme: Open Choice

A Sense of Depth

This one I think is a good example of depth being created by light and
the help of the use of a wide angled lens. It was taken in the foyer of
the Art Gallery of New Sout Wales back in about 2010

This is Dee Dee  a Labradoodle which we looked after for a week while  it's owner enjoyed a week away at
an artists workshop - this I believe gives that feel of depth from the close up of the dog and the relatively
in focused background.

I have put together a set of other photos of other examples of depth. See the links below.

from the camera early april

Catch of the week

I like the blues and the energy of the water in this shot. A real sense of how insignificant we are compared to the might and power of nature.

Images And Words Week 152 - Sea,Land,Clouds,Fog,Sky,Light,Stars,Heavens and Laughter.

Colours
Yevgeny Yevtushenko

"....its particular light on woods, on rivers, on the sea - became my beginning in the coloured world in which I had not yet had my beginning."

This week I thought to post in the Images and Words group for a change. Not having a lot of time for Multiply I find I have to limit my time focused here so will for a while anyway post only in a couple of the groups I belong to unless I find I have the time or inspiration to do so. This is a weekly theme group run by Milli and should you feel inspired to join in go to this link and join in the fun. For rules and such, visit the group home page.

When your face
appeared over my crumpled life
at first I understood
only the poverty of what I have.
Then its particular light
on woods, on rivers, on the sea,
became my beginning in the coloured world
in which I had not yet had my beginning.
I am so frightened, I am so frightened,
of the unexpected sunrise finishing,
of revelations
and tears and the excitement finishing.
I don't fight it, my love is this fear,
I nourish it who can nourish nothing,
love's slipshod watchman.
Fear hems me in.
I am conscious that these minutes are short
and that the colours in my eyes will vanish
when your face sets.
