Marianne of East of Málaga had the idea of finding a subject worthy of an impressionist painter’s interest. For me it’s this view, one I reckon Monet would have painted if he had been on my balcony. And he could very well have stood on it – the building has been there for a century or two!
Two views from the same spot; different days, different hours:
Marianne proposes we recommend two blogs worth commenting on. I found these two which show amazing wedding photography though neither of the bloggers is a professional photographer (yet); have a look at what’s possible when you love what you do:
Ramblings: http://monahoward.com/2013/05/31/a-story-of-love-and-courage/
therebeccapapers: http://therebeccapapers.wordpress.com/2013/05/20/texture-and-light/
Both shots are incredible. Worthy of a painters brush. And both blogs have lovely pix but I like the second one (therebeccapapers) – the b&w shot. Touching moment captured.
Thanks for the compliments, especially about therebeccapapers; the photographer, Rebecca, is my daughter-in-law.
You are wonderful! Thank you for the kudos. Tomorrow is my retirement party to celebrate the end of a teaching career and my hopes of beginning my photo career. Your ping just made my day.
And I really like these images … Especially the second.
Beautiful images, Trish and perfect for this month’s Photo Challenge. I guess you wont be surprised to know that the second photo is my favourite. I’m a sucker for rainbows 🙂
Thanks for sharing links to two blogs you enjoy. I’ll HOP over there now and say hello.
A double celebration – one career ending and another beginning. Enjoy the party!
Thanks Marianne. I liked your idea straight away – I’ve studied Monet’s haystacks and knew what you were thinking of. Thanks for the challenges!
On that photography note: I can see that my photos taken with a 10-year-old camera are not as sharp as other bloggers’, like yours. So I’ve just bought a new camera, a Sony RX100, which should produce better images (though I’m only a happy-snap kind of photographer – it won’t be my next career!).
