The Bow River reflects a golden sky illuminated by the setting sun after a rain storm, Bowmont Park, Calgary.
Trees on an island in the Bow River at Bowmont Park catch the first light of day as the sun strikes the valley bottom on a winter morning in Calgary, Alberta.
Poppies (of course :) )
Hardly did any editing because the danger with the red colours is you will be loosing details when you add light. I've got some other poppy shots in mind, hope I will find the time the next days.
A picture of the turned wood case containing an awl and made of bobbins, for anyone puzzled by the previous pictures of the bobbins.
Taken to demonstrate a complementary colour scheme. I got the proportions of colour slightly wrong and I'm kicking myself about the fold in the sheet I used for a background.
So at college today we where asked to make examples of complimentary colours used in photography. Here is one I liked.
Combining colours is fun, sometimes tricky and often a matter of different tastes. I haven't really known which colours are considered complementary, until today when I looked them up online.
Red and green has always been the traditional Christmas colour scheme for me. I actually wanted to avoid it today, and look for the other two colour pairs, but then, cycling home from school, I saw this red post box in the middle of the green conifers. It looked such a bright sight in our otherwise brown spring surroundings that I just had to snap a picture of it. Nothing Christmasy in this warm, sunny afternoon picture - at least not for me.
From a sunny January walk in Bowmont Park, Calgary. A modest chinook brought a temperature of +4°C and I wandered down to the river with my Canon 30D camera and 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 II USM lens. This was my stand-by kit for photo explorations many years ago. Now I much prefer a mirrorless camera and electronic viewfinder with its superior information display and WYSIWYG output, but there is something satisfying about the distinctive click of a mirror in a DSLR. Very happy with the quality of the photos I got from my old camera today.
Delonix regia; the Poincianas are spectacular this year after the abnormally dry Spring; complementary colors; ODT
Wanted to try and find something that was both translucent and coloured to see how colour was affected by light.
Looking at complimentary colours.
Filled a vase with water then poured in acrylic paint, the aim was to capture the flow and movement of the paint.
Taken in normal light conditions. Trying to focus on the interesting patterns of movement of the paint
I think everybody can guess what place that is even if it's written in Finnish. We would always associate blue and orange with the post-office even if really this is an old sign since the postal services have been privatised and they've even changed the name to Itella. Now, if you saw Itella, would you guess that's where you buy your stamps, for example? Even the colours will be different now - Itella uses blue and white.
