Xata's photos

A little further than the previous, a place were water accumulates and in Summer, when the river will dry, some will remain here and we can refresh ourselves.

I has the right camera, the tripod... but the wrong ballhead... so this was taken handheld, more a feeling than a quality photo.

This morning I went out with the dogs before sunrise as usual in Summer because of high temperatures. I took these photos (this one and the previous one) to honour World Photography Day. Would need your help to choose which one for the group. Both are SOOC, no processing as you can see on the EXIFs. Thanks for your insight on this, have a nice day. PIP above or there: Thirsty Land Poetry About me as photographer: I grabbed a camera for the first time I was 8 years old... a gift from a professional photographer who thought I had an eye for it. Photography is my way of capturing beauty without taking away its freedom. I just try to show my feelings through my photos and let everyone interpret according to what they are and how they see things. I don't enjoy post processing, for me it has to be minimal, a photo is what I can get closer to what I see and therefore shoot manual almost always. Photoshop is more a way to give titles, reduce load... and minor corrections as crop or erase. After over 60 years holding cameras I saw a lot of evolution but have a feeling for the essentials: photography is about light...

Orwell said sports are war without shooting… Churchill said no sport… I don’t understand competivity so I don’t waste my time looking at sport (except sometimes football, but for a Portuguese football is more important than religion and as I am an atheist…). So I looked for circles in a poetical perspective, therefore my contribution. Sunday challenge 109: www.ipernity.com/group/daysincolour365
