Monochrome color

I caught this reflection off my pool which gives everything the bluish/greenish tint. I need to clean my pool :).

The same picture in three different lights



I believe I got lucky on this one as the day I choose happened to be overcast. This took the sun out of the equation so I believe made the picture taking easier. Had it been a sunny day the noon and evening pictures would have taken more work as I would have had to deal with the sun.

Analogous Color Scheme


Here is my example of an analogous color photo. It has yellow, green and some yellowish-green tones. These were interesting little what looked like mini pine trees, I believe however they were a type of moss. The photo on the right was an interesting farm field.

Macro shots- additional info

So here are a couple of interesting shots that I took. The first shot of the cats paw taught me patience, especially when photographing animals. They never do what you want when you want so a lot of it comes down to getting lucky. I was hoping the cat would do this very thing earlier and it wasn't cooperating but I just happened to be clicking at the right time later on and captured this shot.






The second shot of the fan shadow was interesting in the fact that the fan was actually spinning while I was taking the photo. I was unable to see the blades with my naked eye but the camera picked them up. I could acutally see them in the lcd screen but I think it had something to do with its' refesh rate.

Collage

So here is my collage... enjoy.

Compare and Contrast - Dry Deck


I think this offers up a different type of perspective on things as the pictures are very similar but the conditions under which they were taken completely change how they appear. The first one was a rainy morning which gives the deck an interesting reflective sheen while the second one is just a plain shot of how it normally looks.

I would have to say that I like the added character of the first picture not to mention the fact that you can't tell how bad my deck needs a coating of stain :).
