These unplanned shots are the result of my spontaneous reactions to various combinations of light and deep shadow. The details pop! I love subtle color that barely makes an impression, and unlike a black & white or sepia image, the color is there.

ReplyDelete"subtle color that barely makes an impression".
Very dramatic. I love these images! Karena
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are wonderful(throughout your whole blog also)! It's so true how the details just pop!
It is really nice to meet you. I too love Maine- there is something so special about the state. We try to go over at least once a month to get our 'fix'! Since we do it as day trips we have yet to get too far north, but I am dying to see more. Just last weekend we made it to Bath for the first time.
I always tell Dan if he comes home and can't find me to look for me in Maine!!

Awesome series Carol, I love all those light reflections.
ReplyDeleteStephanie ~ Thank you, as always for your supportive comments!
ReplyDeleteKarena ~ I'm delighted you stopped by and thank you for your comment. I visited your beautiful blog and I will return!
Joan ~ It's so nice to meet you too and thanks for stopping by! I enjoyed your old house 'journey' very much....particularly your description of driving 40 minutes in one direction only to turn around again for the inevitable wild goose chase for fabrics and other necessary items. I immediately identified with your New England scavenger hunt where 25 miles is so much farther than 25 Texas miles!
Anna ~ Thank you so much!!!
Very Whistlerian.
ReplyDeleteJanet ~ :D xo
ReplyDeleteKind of zen-like. I particularly like the dark values of the white column.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment Rowland!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully serene. In 1975 I wanted my wedding pictures in sepia. The photographer refused saying I would seriously regret that decision. I seriously regret that I didn't fire him!
ReplyDeletehome before dark ~ Thank you! How sad to be talked out of something you feel so strongly about, but with tools available today, your photos can be scanned and processed in sepia and there are some good professionals who do this very well. None of us had any idea of the possibilities in 1975!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos... ;)
ReplyDeleteElie's Papel ~ Thank you very much for stopping by!
