Surprises

I stayed close to home again this weekend, and visited a local bayside park and our local community college for my photo hike. These were my favorite shots of the day.

Sometimes, well more often than not, once I download my photos, I find surprises. Things like sun flares, or little creatures, or odd effects that look like I manipulated the image with photo editing.

‘Left standing’ was my odd photo this week. The wonky Depth of Field was pure chance, or more likely a mistake, but I liked it.

i really like the splashing water in the first shot.

Oh yes, the “Left Standing” is accidental magic. I love it.

I love the perspective on the “trailing up” shot- nice work!

All of these are beautiful. You have it, an eye for art!

The Brick house is just impressive. You’re a master at composition!

All of them…stunning. You have a wonderful eye for composition.

It doesn’t seem to matter where you wander to take pics, you always find something amazing. I love ‘trailing up’.

lovely photos!!

Oh I agree, Left Standing, is a great image with really interesting focus.

Curling is my favorite for many reasons, some of which you mentioned in the “wonky depth of field” it’s got movement in it! A close second is the rhythm of the bricks in your brick house shot. I like rhythm in things that I shoot, and I enjoy it in others. Nice Tara, have a great Mother’s day!
