"Summer
Fun & Your Backyard"
You would be
surprised of the many beauties that literally are just beyond your
doorstep. In fact, upon close inspection, you could spend quite a long
time wandering about your backyard.
Indeed, one
afternoon in my sister's backyard, I discovered a world of detail beneath my
nose. The day was warm, the sun brightly shining overhead. While
lounging about waiting for the burgers to barbeque and sipping on a refreshment,
I opened my camera bag.
As I began to
meander within a thirty feet radius, it was in the detail that I found a new
world open before me. Below is a sampling of what I experienced.
______________________________
*Note: Thumbnail photos may be
viewed in its larger version.
Simply "click" on the photo.
Keep in mind it was a warm
summer day. This photo is filled with a myriad of details.
Note the red of the liquid in the glass. Did you notice the shadow
the glass makes against the glass table? What of the vivid blue
sky?
When taking a photograph, it
is always important to notice the details. It is in the detail that images
breathe. |
I liked this photo. The
shadows are so "hard". The geometric pattern of the brick
was also compelling. |
 Nothing
fancy here, but I enjoyed viewing the curve of the patio. This
section of the patio looks cool and refreshing, contrasting with the
strong sun just beyond. |
 The
subject is a decorative bug on a table. On closer inspection, two
details can be noted. First, the texture of the beveled glass.
Second, the blue reflected against the table - it is the sky. |
 My
niece loves her sandbox. While occupied with other activity, I
snapped several photos of the sandbox.
This photo is brimming with detail: shadow,
texture of the sand, the colander. I appreciate this photo for its
simplicity, yet it filled with detail. |
 Once
again, the sandbox offers an interesting subject. The colors of the
toys are marvelous. Every item is exactly how they were left -
capturing forgotten fun at that moment. |
