I'll admit, today wasn't the awesomest Mom's Day... probably something to do with mr being gone. He left yesterday. For two weeks. Or so. Getting a much needed mommy break wasn't really an option, you see. Ah, well. I spent time with family per usual and we had a warm Spring cookout. It almost made up for it. No wait. The cordless drill from my
Enough chat. I thought this was about Mom's Day Photos. Actually, that's a typo. It should say Mom's Day AND photos. Because not one of these was taken today. Oh well. Here's my hunt results:
SOOC
 |
| Hey, wait. This WAS taken today. Ok, so ONE was taken today. A Mother's Day sunset. |
Sprouting
 |
| Do mushrooms "sprout"? Or do they just "grow"? I don't know the technical term, but I really wanted to use this picture somewhere... |
Isn't it Ironic?
 |
| Looks like Spring, doesn't it? Sunny, green, yummy homemade popsicles... isn't it ironic that it was NOT warm out? I needed some pictures for a project and we had to cut it short - we were cold. |
Lazy
 |
| Cloud watching... lazy spring pastime. Sun through the clouds... look! A whale... a heart... |
Smells Like Spring
 |
| Tree lined street in UT. It DID smell like spring. I was taking a step away from my usual high contrast exposure. Can you tell where the cars were that I had to "erase"? I used the clone tool in picnik. LOVE that tool. |
This week, we worked on visual contrast - which is usually done with high contrast lighting. There are tons of other types of visual contrast, however, which I never considered. So, here are some of the contrast shots I came up with:
Natural/Manmade
 |
| Perhaps not the clearest interpretation, but if you look in the background you can see the chain link fence behind all the foliage. |
Natural/Manmade
 |
| Also Large versus Small? |
Curved/Straight
 |
| Also, Smooth/Rough or Vegetable/Mineral. |

Wonderful shots! I particularly love your last two contrast shots!
Ah, vegetable/mineral! You came up with a new one! There are so many contrasts when you start looking, nicely done. Thanks so much for participating in Exploring with a Camera!
Loved your photos! I love looking at clouds and seeing shapes too, I've been snapping some recently to hopefully put together into a blog post.
What amazing shots these all are!
So I'm loving that visual contrast shots - great work already! And smells like spring - what a nice walk way. Beautiful SOOC. I hope you get some much needed mom time soon.
Cool cloud pictures! Those were my favorite. :)
