Paduan Photos – Sijo – January 14, 2017

Sijo

This pathway leads to a yard of a lovely old farmhouse …

Among old discarded farm instruments I went walking –
Attracted to bright autumn colours then became aware –
Of the long wintry shadows that loomed dark all around me.

One Four Challenge – Week One – November 9, 2014

I just discovered this great Challenge yesterday at Words Visual,  I’m posting this for The One Four Challenge .

The game is interesting … you take one photo and each Sunday after you’ve read the original challenge, you post your processed photograph … the second the second and so on, until you’ve processed the photo in 4 different ways.  There’s no obligation to show the original or to show the various steps in your processing adventure … but as of next week I’ll be creating a gallery for the original and the work done up to that point.

Here is the original photograph that I’ll be working on … it’s an autumnal snapshot of the tourist port of Riva del Garda in Trentino, Italy:

and this is the first edit of the photograph – I haven’t done much to it, just added a little shadowing and sharpened the photo a little then added a “frame”:

Thanks for looking in … have a great Sunday!

your lovely eyes met mine

hazy morning
thoughts of safe harbors

30 Days of Haiga – September 28, 2014

As I near the end of this challenge … I think how delightful it has been to put together haiku and photography in this gratifying manner … it’s really been a lot of fun!  Thanks once again to Rick of 19 Planets Art Blog for this great yearly challenge … my second!  Here’s today’s 30DOH:

an instant
echo of sunshine –
passing
