Shadow Shot Sunday: Kate's Garden

Hey, everyone! Hope you're all having happy holidays.

So here I am, playing with my photos when I have a million things to do for Christmas. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. The rest of us work on perfecting our skills of procrastination.




I haven't been around much lately because I haven't taken a decent picture in weeks. These are salvaged from a recent trip to a little park with a sculpture I've been wanting to shoot. I didn't realize until I got there how many lamp posts and assorted ugly stuff it has to muck things up.And winter probably isn't its best season.

On the plus side, I got some practice at converting to greyscale, and I learned how to clone out background distractions like light poles on this one:




I'll go back and try the sculpture again when there's snow.  Maybe I'll have better luck. For now, its shadow will have to do.

Shadow Shots: Warm

December 1 already. Time to haul out the big old basket that holds cozy, warm afghans in the TV room. Because pretty soon, it is gonna be cold.

I always loved the texture of this, and the way it catches the morning light. And I like it better when we just toss the afghans in, rather that folding them neatly. I don't know why.
