Suspended and Food ~ Lynn

"Winter Solace Suspended"

I saw this tree branch suspended on the Kennebec River, just past the Eddy, near the Somerset Woods Landing.  I loved the layers of muted color on the cloudy winter day.

"Christmas Frosting"

Our 2nd challenge was food.  Micah and I shot at the same subject, at the same time, at Caitlyn's birthday party.  Micah chose to shoot the complete gingerbread man cake.  I chose to isolate a section of the frosting to try to create an interesting image from the explosion of color on the white background.
I looked for balance in the colors in contrast to the white on white of the frosting and snowflakes.

"Suspended Seagulls"

Lynn And I went to Calais, Maine border across from New Brunswick, Canada. We fed the seagulls with bread to do suspended. Lynn and I took turns feeding them. They would swoop down to grab the bread. Lynn has a picture of with a seagull flapping its wings against my head.

"Gingerbread Man"

I took this at my friend Caitlyn surprise party. It was her birthday cake. I tried to catch the glitter from the gingerbread man. I got the outside border of the cake. 

Suspended and Food

Well, we chose suspended and food for two challenge topics...I did a couple of suspended shots and then decided to combine my suspended with my food shot....I hope you enjoy my suspended apple.

Neon ~ Micah

Micah's "Neon"

"Egyptian Hieroglyphics Before"

"Egyptian Hieroglyphics After"

My neon picture is a Egyptian Hieroglyphics picture. I use neon motion app on my iPod touch. I traced it with different neon colors. I brightened the background to trace the Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Then I saved the picture but it doesn't save the background with it.

 More NEON!!!

"Liberty Enlightening the World"

Micah chose this week's challenge and after going through list after list on our old challenge site he picked "neon".  I thought it was going to be a tough challenge as neon lights are just not all that plentiful here in Maine.  Well, as luck would have it, Lady Liberty just happened to be having dinner at the same restaurant I was at the other night.  She took a break from Enlightening the World and grabbed a burger at Red Robin in Augusta before heading back to NYC. And yes, she did have "french" fries with that because she was born in Paris in 1881, after all!
