Light and Shadows

[Alan]

As the sun moves South again, the light and shadows change daily

[Isac]

Excellent contrasts provided by the sun Alan. Exposure is about perfect. Interesting objects add to it as well. (except for the candle lean - too much "red" perhaps?).

[Sully]

A little too busy for me for a 'still life' ..... really like the light and shadow on the bottom portion ...... that could be a wall hanger of a wall hanger

This is such a beautiful image Alan. So delicately composed, the placement of the elements, the light and shade subtly balanced and contrasted. Quiet poetic.

You and your bloody iPhone. (I know it's an iPhone, cause I saw it on Google+ or whatever it's called.)

Thanks Isac. I did 'up' the saturation on the reds slightly. (I'm a fire sign). I didn't notice the leaning candle at the time, but in processing I thought the angle matched the other angles in the glasses and vase

Thanks Barb. I did make another photo of just the bottom half (on Flickr), but I much preferred this one

Thank you Charles. I really liked it too.

Careen and I have different views on interior design, so we are constantly rearranging things around the house while the other one isn't watching, It just so happened that neither of us bothered to 'fiddle' with this.

The light hits the wall like this only a couple of times a year - I was just passing with the phone at the right time

I'm away at Wallaga Lake atm - using the phone as a 'hot spot' for the Laptop, while playing my music through it on the Avan sound system. (Also checking the ABC and Guardian News, weather and tides for tomorrow's dawn shoot of a rock only accessible at low tide - I occasionally us it as a phone )

I also use it to level the Avan. And for some obscure reason it sometimes tells me what the traffic conditions are like and how long it would take me to drive home

I could go on.....

Beautiful.

As Charles said, quite poetic.

The framed image is quite something special as well as it displays your wonderful understanding of light, shadow and simplicity. (and interior design, but I'll whisper that quietly)

Thanks Mick
