a rusted water thing? in the middle of the park. The beautiful park used to be a golf course. so glad that they decided to preserve the land and keep it a wide open space. (10/365)
ADAW 16/52: Rewigged and redressed Little Dal Silver Ranger that got the Steampunk treatment for PUDDLE 2019.
The Avalon Waterways Impression is exiting the Jochenstein Lock on the way to Passau Germany. The bikers were enjoying the lock transit procedure. The Danube is a popular route for cyclists. We passed many on both sides of the river. The Vienna to Passau section is a busy route.
The locks are designed to conserve water, by piping first the top third, and then the middle third of the lock water into side tanks during the down cycle. On the up cycle, these tanks replenish first the bottom third and then the middle third of the lock volume. The remaining top third is supplied by water from the upper level of the canal.
All the locks from Rotterdam, Holland to Budapest are monitored and controlled from 4 monitoring locations and the language of use is German only (except for some minor variation in Holland) for the entire lengthbof the transit from Rotterdam to the Black Sea.
This is a late entry for Get Pushed Round 8. I spent much of this past week sick and homebound and feeling uninspired. Yesterday was the first day I was feeling up to trying to meet the challenge.
My partner was Huub Zeeman. Before he sent me my challenge, I looked through his stream and admired the way he uses line and shape is his photographs, especially in his architectural photographs, but line and shape influence everything he does, even his portraits!
So his challenge to me seemed appropriate:
"As far I can see, most of your photos do have a one to one relationship with reality. An apple is an apple, a girl is a girl and so on. That's a great way of taking pictures, nothing wrong, but I think you can make a picture that's beyond of that way of looking.
"I want you to take an abstraction out of a thing you see in reality. Just by altering your point of view or zooming in to the subject! You don't have to think of making an 'abstract", just think abstract while taking the picture!"
Maybe it was because I was sick, but I found this a real challenge!!! At first I was thinking modern and architectural, like some of the photos I admire in his stream, and it took me a while to get past that (not much modern architecture where I live). Then I was looking for interplays of light and shadow, but we haven't had much sun recently (and I've been stuck inside), so that wasn't working.
I finally decided to go with what I know well, which I think is color and depth of field. I tried to get beyond the idea of looking at things as they are and just look for the possibilities of interesting color and interesting bokeh. That seemed to work for me.
This is one of the photos I came up with. I hope it fits, Zuub.
I'm taking Round 9 off from Get Pushed, but my last partner, Lynn Nord, and I just spent a few days picking the winners of the Round 8 Get Pushed Trejack Award. If you are a member of the Get Pushed group (or even if you aren't), please go look at that discussion in the Get Pushed group to see who we picked and why.
