kbobam Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I've been looking at reflections and shadows lately. I know this sounds a little stupid. Kind of like a 'photography 001' course assignment. But it's kind of fun trying to produce something halfway decent. This shot is the corner of my bathroom wall in the late afternoon. What you're seeing is an 'image' of the forest outside. It's being 'projected' onto the wall because the forest is back-lit by the setting sun. The glass of the bathroom window is acting like a 'lens'. If you've never been to a 'snobby' gallery opening, I can assure you that because this image is kind of confusing and sort of blurry, that it's very important that you 'ooh and ahh' a lot. If you really want to impress people, you'll also make comments along the lines of "Dismal, yet effervescent!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statue of Liberty before she turned green: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2037582/The-copper-Statue-Liberty-appeared-New-York-1880s.html... some old artwork.

Hoody Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Nice article. The lady looks much better to me than with todays green. The green colour is due to the copper oxidation, I know. But there was an article also that gathered my attention: https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/favorite-german-words?bsc=engmag-a10-info-germanwords-tb&btp=default&utm_campaign=cd_engall_gen_cde_germanwords&utm_medium=CON&utm_source=taboola Okay, it has some advertising background but is funny to read also. Back to topic: I did not read all the posts but those pictures that I saw lead me to one fact - it is mother nature that gives the most beautiful pictures and constructions. Far better than what man can do ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Gotta like German! Back in New York we all (different nationalities, native language, etc.) used terms from the Yiddish variation, just because the words are so great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Also, although I understand and agree with what you're saying, one could suggest that we as humans are as legitimate a part of 'nature' as anything else. Anything we've ever done is just as 'natural' as what wild animals, plants, or minerals do. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Oh yes, a valid point, what we do could be considered "natural", too. We are, of course, a product of a long term evolutionary process. But nothing we produce is as perfect as what natur builds. Just look at the photographs of far away solar systems or galaxies and then look at all the shapes and colours to be found on our own planet.

Ric Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Bob, nice photo. All the masts add a lot to it, at least for me. I think it would be much less interesting without them. And Winnie, that is a surreal looking skyscape - beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
