“We’ll take the cake with the red cherry on top” Navjot Singh Sidhu
Cherries
Sweet, sweet cherries
The reddest of berries
Picking them
One by one
Licking my fingers
When I’m done

“Red is the ultimate cure for sadness” Bill Blass
Red
Seeing red?
Hoping for something else instead?
What can I say
I like to play
Red is red is red
Maybe you should have stayed in bed
So like it or not
Here are the shots

“A cloudless plain blue sky is like a flowerless garden” Terri Guillemet
Fire in the Sky
When the clock struck seven
High up in the heavens
The white, blue and yellow
Happily mixed together
Looking up at the skies
The vision burning my eyes
Painted in the colour red
Like the Almighty had bled
The horizon in full flame
Watching the complete frame
The sky was on fire

“Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa,
soi, sana kultainen.
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa,
ei vettä, rantaa rakkaampaa,
kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen,
maa kallis isien.”
“Connecting people” The artist formerly known as Nokia
Photo 101: Day Six: Connect & Tags
CONNECT:
I have chosen to use the social media options for promoting my blog. I.e. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and Tumblr. Not that I really enjoy spending my time on any of those sites (honestly, well I try not to ;P), but I have found it very useful to get more visibility than relying solely on WordPress.
Judging from the feedback and additional followers, I have managed to get over 3000 hits on my Google+ account and I have over 100 followers on LinkedIn in addition to email followers who do not have WP accounts.
I know the figures may not seem much to established bloggers, but for me, who started from zero four months ago, this is huge!
Summa sumarum: It really pays off to connect!
TAGS:
I used the following tags to describe my today’s objet d’art;
Photography, photo101, footwear, a pair of boots, rain gear, Wellingtons, Nokia, red, colourful, still life, portrait, object, photo shoot, flash, zoom lens, natural light and humour.
A pair of ordinary rain boots, in the colour of red. I experimented a little with the exposure and flash to drag some interest out of the subject matter
Fun fact: The brand name for these boots is actually “Nokia” and used way before the GSM phone was invented.
