Today’s Photography Challenge Is Something Smooth
Today’s photography challenge is to photograph something smooth. In my jewellery box I found this brooch, given to me by a patient at the dental office where I worked before retiring. I’m sorry to say I can’t remember his name, but I do remember his face clearly. he had the firmest handshake of anyone I’d ever met. I know he’d once been in the navy, because he’d shared a photo of himself, in his naval uniform with me and my co-workers. He was a much older man by that time, and was learning lapidary, the art of cutting, polishing, and engraving stones. I’m taking part in this photography challenge to improve my photo taking skills, but today I was reminded of someone I haven’t thought about in years.
Editing a Photograph
I’m packed and ready to return to California, so I am trying out some of the edit choices in the Aviary app I have on my i-phone. I’d taken this photo of some lovely carnations my daughter received, and did some editing on it, as you can see. The background is black and white, and I chose to emphasize the color of the flower.
I Love to Photograph a Nice Street Light
I took this photo today while walking our dog, Annika in a nearby park. I have a good friend who once told me that she noticed I often take photos of light fixtures. She is right. Lights, whether inside or out are one of my favorite subjects.
Although it was mid-morning, and the lights were not on, I was fascinated by the modern look of these light fixtures.
It looks like I’m not the only one who enjoys a nice street light.
