this weekend i joined a new camera club in the area and went on my first outing with them. we had a good time at calloway gardens (near columbus, georgia. the butterflies were bountiful (1,500+) but the temperature was soaring at almost 100 degrees. as i wandered through parts of the garden, the leaves are changing fast - not from a drop in temperature but the heat coupled with little or no rain is going to make it a rapid fall.
the remaining weekend was spent doing such glamourous things as washing clothes, washing dishes, and the whatnot of household doings.
being a member of the new club, i can display some black and white photography at a local gallery. i'm thinking of this shot and maybe the shot of the approaching thunderstorm. think this one is good enough for display? it's one of my favorites.
ooh I would love to join a camera club, but I wonder if it's for me!!
ReplyDeleteI really like that shot; I think it's for sure good enough to display. Are there a lot of people in the camera club? Is it stressful taking photos with a group of people? I'd love the hear more about it.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely ...the texture, light and lines are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI really like this photo, Char - it has a great balance of texture and contrast, and the steps really lead me into it and make me want to know what's around the corner - lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the contrasting symmetry, as well as tones, in this image. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteit gets my vote hands down .. the club sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteYES....did you hear me ? i said YES !!!
ReplyDeleteOooo I love the contrast! It's very dramatic!
ReplyDeleteI think this one says alot, lots of contrast, beautiful, good luck with the new group. take care.
ReplyDeleteI think any shot that speaks to you is always "good enough"! I like it - makes me wonder who is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, this September in Georgia has really sucked so far!
I wish there was a club where I am! I would love to be in one. And off I go to do my laundry:)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! Yes, definitely display the photo.
ReplyDeleteI like the lines in this, the lights and the darks and the stairs themselves. Stairs go somewhere!
ReplyDeleteoh yes. i love this shot and definitely worthy of displaying!
ReplyDeletei have been thinking lately of joining a camera club ... i would love to hear more about yours?
I like it, but the real reason you should display it is because you like it.
ReplyDeleteI thought about going to Calloway Gardens to see the butterflies, but things haven't worked out. Anyway temps near 100 are very discouraging. Very.
Very dramatic photo...definitely display worthy!
ReplyDeleteI like the different kinds of greys
