Texture Like Sun ...

Texture Like Sun ...
The theme for The Sunday Challenge this week was middle of the day ... as simple as that, or not as the case may be.

I did think about doing some arty farty macro style shots of a clock face or a watch, but I used an image of the clock tower at All Saints Church in Northallerton just a couple of weeks back so I rules those ideas out.

Eventually, I just decided to go take the camera outside one day over lunch, starting from just before midday until just after 1.00pm and shoot whatever I saw that took my fancy ... yes, I was starting to get that feeling of desperation that being involved with TSC can produce.

I took several shots around town, but the one I've opted to use was taken in my back garden. I noticed that the bright midday sun was striking a small pile of fallen leaves and creating some lovely shadows. It might not look like it was taken in the early afternoon, but believe me it was ... honest!

Thanks for that and the fave Sami ... much appreciated. As it happens you can take some of the credit for the processing as it was one of your articles on WordPress that encouraged me to mess about with various layers! :)

The sky was almost devoid of clouds ... you could have been forgiven for thinking it might be a summer's day if it hadn't been so cold! :)

lol Paul, we can see your shooting info so we know exactly when you took this. NOT that we wouldn't believe you of course! ;)

For a bunch of dried leaves this is quite pretty and full of nice colors and textures, unlike anything in my yard this week.

Oh hey, i just listened to the tune and I like that too!

Ein sehr feines Spiel mit dem Licht. So kommt die Struktur der Blätter gut zur Geltung.

Paul, this is a beauty... The shadows are so long at this time of the year and you are close in so the background is black... all normal for this type of picture!

I have a shot that didn't quite make 'the cut' this week that looks like sunset... it's not and I didn't think people would believe me so I will post it in the NOT group!
