Photos are meant to be shared
When you start working on any photographic assignment you will find opportunities almost anywhere. I was on my usual photo-walk at Applegate Park in Merced, when I observed that a city worker cleaned out the fountain. He threw the rose paddles on the ground and opened up the opportunity for me to photograph them.
Enjoy and keep looking and photographing!
I used my T-shirt as a background and created some wrinkles. As a foreground I picked some thread.My light source is a single 5600k bulb from the left at about 45 degrees. In order to get a little bit of dynamic into the image I turned it to the right a little bit.
Enjoy and happy photographing!
This weeks exercise takes last weeks “Color Contrast” to a new level by adding a third color to it. Photograph on or two subjects in contrasty colors in front of a background (third color).
In this example I used the tip of a red and yellow marker which I photographed with a blued background. As always, enjoy this exercise.
If you care looking for color contrast you will find it almost everywhere in mother nature. I created this red-green image on my photographic exercise walk.

I went to the local Farmer’s Market to purchase some fresh fruit and vegetables. Among them were these grapes that of course I had to photograph.
Enjoy and don’t forget: You can get inspired everywhere at any given moment!
I found this feather on the lawn early in the morning. There is a nice brown green contrast in this image. In addition the brown is dark on the right hand side and gradually becomes a white.
Enjoy and happy photographing!
This is a classic: Red-Blue contrast or cold-warm contrast. Enjoy and happy photographing!
Shoot images with dominantly two main colors that are in contrast. the subject should be in one color and the background in the other color.
I created this image using a 50mm prime lens at f 2.8. The subject (leaf) is in brown and the green bush forms the background color.
Enjoy this exercise and Fall colors offers excellent opportunities to create very intriguing images.
PS: I am sure you have noticed that there is a secondary color contrast in this image. The bottom is black and the top is white.
Water shots can be really great for reflection. I shot this image right around sunrise when the trees were reflected in the water of the local creek.
Enjoy and happy Friday!
There were two important factors to consider to create this image: Exposure time and light direction (time of the day). I photographed this fountain in the late afternoon using a long exposure time.
Enjoy and happy photographing!
