My library is having an exibition of framed photos from patrons in October. I am kicking a few ideas around of what I want to present. (I promise I will upload some pictures tomorrow morning, tonight I am drained...did well all day on 4 hours of sleep and coffee and energy drinks...but now I am paying) I guess i should ask the guy I captured in one of the shots if he minds (the melancholic look he's sporting might wreck his reputation ) or the lady who owns the yard I took some pictures in? I still got plenty of clouds and stuff...purple skies and such.... Of course, gotta see if they translate when I have them blown up....
Still sleepy, but I said I would posy pics.... I will crop the right side. I guess I should ask the kid in the left? http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/Granfire/oct013.jpg Not sure how the rest will fair when I have them blown up: http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/Granfire/June2010046.jpg http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/Granfire/June2010041.jpg and then I found this in the album: http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/Granfire/094.jpg Moody beach scene http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/Granfire/198.jpg It was getting stormy! http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/Granfire/197.jpg I think the birdhouse is a front runner tho...
Excellent picture {094.jpg} of that ripple from above, Gran! Took me a minute to figure out what I was seeing with the sky reflected in the water - brilliant!
yeah, that was on a boat ride on the Ammersee in Bavaria last summer. I was looking at the wake when i realized how good it looked.
Aight, I did it! I did have the birdhouse and the wake enlarged to 11x14 and framed. When I signed the release I was relieved: I was not presumptuous by contributing 2 pictures! Now, I still got one day.... Should I get this one done, too?
Thanks. The Lady at Walmart stopped for a second when it pulled up on the screen. It looks pretty good in a black frame. (right now I am hunting my paper cutter because I had 2 more made, and the one frame is about 2 mm to small on one side...Life hates me....)
Well, I DID find the paper cutter and put it to work. Now, do I bring the last picture to the library?
Update: I dragged my buttocks to the library today to see the exhibition. As expected the turnout was about average. (I just busted into the tail end of a function, too I could have grabbed a few bites off the buffet, I don't think anybody would have noticed) So I look around to see my pictures. Near the door is the picture of the band. Nicely titled 'The Band' with my name next to it. Then I look around and I noticed that the ribbons had already been awarded. The winning picture was a black and white picture of a kid. So I look around for the other winners. And there I spot the 3rd place winner. A smallish picture, place between two large ones. Then I look closer. Can it be? Could it really? Yes, indeed! My wave won 3rd! So thank you Suke! I would have probably not submitted it if not for your praise of it! http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/Granfire/094.jpg
The credit is all yours good lady :bows:. I am proud and happy for you that the wonderful shot got artistic recognition and that others got to see it too :tup:.
