Theme for June 25, 2007: Breaking the Rules!

Choose a photo rule and then break it.

the object is to produce a good photo while breakinbg the rule.

Eg: Rule of thirds: the best and most pleasing photos generally have
the vertical and horizonatal elements divided in thirds. Exceptions:
when you WANT stillness and staticness, as in a reflection, for example.

Think of a rule and then break it, making a good photo in the process.

Color: Recording the Sunset

Here is a picture where color plays a pretty important role.

Flowers: Forget-me-nots

These forget-me-nots were growing in my mother's garden as I was preparing to leave her house for the last time after she died.

They are in a small vase of hers on the front of Keith's car, which is reflecting the sky.

I made this into a smudge painting, too.

Flowers: Weeds

I liked the pattern here. I've been resizing these using Irfanview, but I think some quality is lost in the process--this was nice and sharp and I may repost it. (or something instead).

Flowers: Wild Geranium for Mother's Day ("This Bud's for you!")

I must be in a somewhat perverse mood.

Flowers: The Mightly Lion

Sorry, I couldn't resist!
