Photography: Week 28: Wrap up Photo101 Rehab
Check out the excellent photography from week 28 in The Clinic /Photo101 Rehab
Also featured are my three postings:
“A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one” Aristotle
Acropolis of Athens
Acropolis of Athens
Who knows, what happens
In this place of fun
And place of knowledge
The Parthenon, Propylaia and Erechtheion
Just to name a few of them
One named after the mighty
And powerful Athene Nike
Join us on this uphill travel
Maybe some mysteries will unravel
While roaming the ancient ruins
Like some pilgriming druids

“Necessity… the mother of invention” Plato
Having Fun in the Sun
When all is said and done
Enjoying the sea and the sun
Finally, having lots of fun
Though, there is one pun
It all happened in Greece
Before they took a lease
On their little piece of heaven
Always open twenty-four seven
But, alas the play will still continue
And I hope to this wonderful venue
End up
Soon enough

“A ship on the beach is a lighthouse to the sea” Dutch proverb
The Lighthouse
Follow the light
Without a fight
And you just might
Have a journey
Without a plight
The beacon
Is the reason
Your vessel
Found its way
Without a hassle
Safely, into the bay

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” Jacques Yves Cousteau
By the Seashore
I still remember
That one September
The bluest of skies
And it was warmer than July
The water clear and inviting
The air soft and delighting
Not a worry in sight
Everything quite right
In the distance
For an instance
A boat or two
Disappearing from the view
Most tourists already gone
Leaving us alone
Enjoying in peace
With a short lease
The last rays of summer

Photo 101: Day Twelve: Architecture & Monochrome
From geometric patterns on skyscrapers to the ironwork on historical buildings, there are many opportunities to capture the beauty and complexity of architecture.
Today’s Tip: As we explored yesterday, color is a powerful element in photography. But let’s not forget black and white, or monochrome, which can be very dramatic! Black, white, gray, and shades in between interact in the frame in dynamic ways
When we talk about monochrome in photography, we’re referring to images developed or executed in black and white or in varying tones of only one color.
Train your eye to look for architectural elements that translate in black and white: sharp lines and patterns, defined shapes, large surface areas, and a mix of very light and very dark colors. Compare the color and monochrome versions of today’s shot.
These images are from Verbania Italy and Evia Greece.
