Photography 101: Day 20, Triumph

This is the last day of the Photography 101 Challenge. It has been fun and I have learned a lot! Today’s theme is Triumph, to create a dramatic effect of some sort by using contrast. Here is my last entry!  These are pictures I took in Orvieto, Italy, a city of contrasts, from the cobbled lanes, the abundance of beautiful woodcuttings, to the underground city!  Enjoy!

Photography 101: Day 19, Double

Two old friends in conversation and relaxing with wine in Charleston, South Carolina! The Double Duo! Today’s assignment twosie’s! Notice the bottle tree? It is believed that the spirits are dazzled by the colors of the bottles in the sun. Once they enter the bottle, they can’t find their way out, much like flies. Legend had it that empty glass bottles placed outside the home could “capture” roving (usually evil) spirits at night, and the spirit would be destroyed the next day in the sunshine. Enjoy!

Photography 101: Day 18, Edge

Edge, is today’s focus for Photography 101. These pictures of the Castle at Cesky Krumlov has lots of edges, every which way! The castle was built in 1240 by the Witigonen family, the main branch of the powerful Rosenberg family. These large blocks that make up the exterior of the castle are fake! It is a smooth exterior with the blocks and reliefs painted on! That painter must have had a very straight edge!  Enjoy!

Photography 101: Day 17, Glass

Today’s theme is Glass, for Photography 101. I love to take pictures of shop windows, but alas when I get too close to the glass all I get is glare! Or a rather strange picture of me!!!!  Any tips to remedy this?  Anyone?

So here we are outside the Christmas Shop in Broadway, UK. Enjoy, looking through the glass! From far way!

Photography 101: Day 14, Swarm

Todays assignment. Swarm: To fly off together in a group, to move in great numbers. I hate swarming! I hate big groups and trying to wedge myself into the melee to get a picture! The road I was traveling on was blocked off. What? What is going on? I might as well get out and take a look see. I wiggled my way into the crowd along the street. “What are we waiting for?” I asked the policeman. “The Tour de France is coming through town,” he replied.

OMG! Where is my camera?  Swoosh, swoosh, and they’re here and gone just like that! Two seconds and gone! The Ultimate Swarm! Enjoy!
