“The Color Wheel - Part 1”

2011-09-25T20:56:00.000-04:00

I'm back home and finally settling in after several weeks of upheaval.
I uploaded 608 photos from my camera today, and am ready to start
taking new ones. I thought I'd get back over to The KatEye View's
Exploring With a Camera, which I had discovered right before I
took off for a few weeks and all the “fun” started.

The focus this week is “The Color Wheel”. Wasn't hard to dig
through the archives and find lots on this, since I'm naturally
attracted to color combos, regardless of the subject.

So here goes...

The above is my monochromatic contribution. For family members who
check in here and are clueless as to what that means, I'll lift it directly
from Kat's site:

Images have one dominant color from the color wheel.
You may see variations in the shades of that color, have neutrals
or even small amounts of other colors, but the overall impression
is of one color in the image.

This flower is more analogous:

Images have two to three colors adjacent colors on the color wheel.
There is one color in common, and the other colors used have some
small amount of that color.

And finally, this scene in NYC is something that I was so attracted to
because of the colors. You'd think that after four years getting myself
a fine art bachelors degree, I'd know some of the technical terms,
but I just know what I like. Apparently this color combo is called
chromatic gradation:

Images have a number of colors that can be found in sequence
on the color wheel.

I'm looking forward to Kat's next lesson. Hopefully she will continue
to help me label all the stuff I naturally look for. And perhaps help
me look for some things I hadn't thought to. Either way, I'm looking
forward to picking up my camera and contributing something new
next time, instead of just digging through the archives.

“Repeating Patterns”

2011-07-31T23:15:00.009-04:00

Not getting out there with my camera much these days. Capturing lots
of every day life with my boys, but nothing worth posting. I kept my
eye out for some “Repeating Patterns” though and found the perfect
opportunity at Lake Compounce last night.

This will be my last post for a while; tomorrow we leave to visit my
mom in Maine for three weeks, and I don't have a laptop. Should be
packing all my scrapbooking stuff right now, but chose to take some
time post these instead:

I actually spent quite a bit of time photographing the swings. The changing
colors of the lights were mesmerizing. Plus it was a challenging shot for my
point-and-shoot, so it took several tries to get what I was trying for:

“Reflections in Glass”

2011-07-16T21:42:00.010-04:00

I've missed having an “assignment” to work on. I was checking out a friend's
blog and found this meme that I thought I'd give a try. That, along with
another one (showing up on Wednesdays), plus my renewed enthusiasm
for photography overall, made for a very enjoyable day at Old Sturbridge
Village. (Not to mention the wonderful company my family provides.)

So these are some of the “Reflections in Glass” I noticed. Usually I post only
one photo for a meme, but I was so happy with these that I couldn't choose
which one. (I guess my creative juices really are flowing again.)

So which is your favorite, and why?

“Fire Spinning”

2011-07-15T23:40:00.005-04:00

This was definitely one of those times I ached for a decent camera. No point
and shoot could ever adequately capture how fantastic this show was. That
didn't keep me from trying about 150 times though. This is the clearest. Gotta
love how in focus those rocks are! Bleh.

“Mothy Inspiration”

2011-07-14T21:52:00.007-04:00

It's been so hot that I haven't sat out on my deck for my morning coffee in weeks.
Today was exquisite though, and this guy just sat there on the deck railing inviting
me to photograph him. He let me get so close too. He also inspired me to take a
walk through my gardens with my camera, and I got some nice shots. Perhaps
I'll share them another day.

Thank you moth, for reminding me to look for the beauty in the mundane.

“Statue of Liberty”

2011-07-13T22:51:00.004-04:00

I haven't been inspired by photography lately. (Actually, I haven't
been inspired by anything.) I've still been taking photos, but don't
upload them off my camera all that often, and even when I do I
don't even bother to look through them. I think it's time to try
to snap out of my lull though. At least for this evening. So I
looked through my file of Governor’s Island photos I took back
in June, and decided to post one.

The view from the island was spectacular.

I found a photomeme which has really inspired me. 26 Things:

26 Things is a photographic scavenger hunt – for the month of November, go out and take
1 photo to represent each item on the list of 26 Things. On December 1st, come back and
share your completed 26 Things entry.

I'm going to try to post a photo a day, rather than all at one time on December 1st.
And I'm going to take all new ones instead of posting photos from my archives, the
way I most often do with memes. I'm not going to do them in the order listed, but
I will try my best to do each.
