Rose

Last Rose of Summer

Recently I decided to take sunrise or sunset shots every day again.  The weather did not cooperate this morning so...............  here is my contribution for today.

Day 43 -- Snow no Sunset -- Rose Instead

ROSE IN SNOW

On A Foggy Morning--Rose and Web

Fog and dew got me out of the cabin early yesterday.  My granddaughter, Marisa, thinks web close-up shots look like Christmas.



Rose

Years ago, when our blogs were on AOL Journals, I developed a process which I called digital bromoil (not grunge).  This morning I decided to start developing an image using that process again.   Below is step one.

Looking Forward to Summer

Having A Blast

Am taking a few days off to play. Yesterday I took pics of roses in low light with my iPhone and then added some texture. Oh, it was such fun! I am amazed at that quality of the images. Usually I shoot using Manual mode. Every now and then, it is good to simply let go and let the images fly.

ROSE WITH TEXTURE

For Tuesday--From the Hip

This week's images were intuitively taken holding iphone camera at hip level, not arranging for composition and without looking at the LCD screen. I did play with a couple of in-camera (Plastique app) techniques--adding those choices prior to shooting.

How did I get off track again? Distractions? Life interrupting? What?

The bottom line is: It doesn't matter. What does matter is: Get back to doing!

Sometimes Images Surprise Me

In reading Sean Kernan's journal earlier today he said, "I want to wake myself up." The above rose image "woke me up." This is the image as it came from the camera. I may crop differently and may play with it some as a black and white or sepia piece. We'll see... Sometimes leaving an image alone and sleeping on the possibilities is a good idea.
