My World in a Drop

Posted under Architecture, Color, Critiqued

My World in a DropAs armature photographers we start out wanting to record events and people in our lives.  Then we want to take better pictures.  Next we find that creating art is our goal.  All the while we are using the same tools to capture an image.  What changes is the eye of the photographer.  Not all take this journey but for the few, the ones that love it, that remain true armatures it can be bring a lifetime of joy and creativity.

This photographer is at a point in their life work where they are experimenting with the optics of water drops.  Finding ways of using this phenomenon to create unique images has become their fascination and fortunately they are shearing it with all of us.  With time this photo-artist will find other facets of the art form to work with and grow into new styles and techniques. 

I would suggest that the photographer consider the blue cast in this image.  If the photo-artist wished to modify this hue it can be done using computer software to manually or automatically adjust the levels, contrast and color.  I think it will add snap to the image.

    Thank you so much for rating my photo . You are so intune when you say (This photographer is at a point in their life work where they are experimenting with the optics of water drops. Finding ways of using this phenomenon to create unique images has become their fascination ) I am addicted , and am still striving to profect the art of capturing a clear refraction in these drops . I can now see where it will improve this image by removing some of the blue . This drop was done with love for a friend of his boat house . There was a lot of blue the day I took the back drop photo, blue sky , blue water ,I should have clued in on that when I printed the back drop photo. Thanks for your keen eye . I will correct this before I print this & give him this photo .

  2. I just have to comment on how wonderful!
