1. Fruit - Let's face it. Bananas are not photogenic. I tried anyway and predictably, my shots were boring. The good news is that I was finally motivated to learn how to apply a texture. It's been on my to do list for a while. Why did I wait so long? It's easy!
2. Long Exposure - I remembered the perfect shot for this prompt from last summer's trip to Arkansas. The shutter speed is 1/30 so the movement of the water is nice and blurred.
I couldn't resist trying out a texture on this shot too.
3. Shape - I found two in one, a globe and a sunburst.
4. Green - This one was easy. There's green all around. I chose a fern.
5. Childhood Memory - I scanned in a bunch of my parents' slides last year. This is a 1972 day trip to the New Orleans French Quarter. I was six years old and I remember it being very hard to sit still for what seemed like an eternity.
My brother had to sit still too. These photos makes me wonder where the artist is now. I wish I could send him his photo from almost 40 years ago. He had very good taste in pants, don't you think? :)
I LOVE your "Green" shot!
ReplyDeleteTextures could really be addictive, couldn't they? =)
What a great hunt! I really like the childhood memory.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Sunday. xxx
Textures are so time consuming or as Buckeroomama says 'addictive' It's like being in the sweetie shop and not being able to make up my mind what to choose. Your textures were lovely on the photos especially the long exposure one of the water.
ReplyDeleteI would love to scan all of our slides from the 70's.
lovely set - great long exposure shot - I think they could get addictive
ReplyDeleteYou aren't the only one who did bananas this week for 'fruit'. Hehe ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your 'green' shot!

ReplyDeleteThe water is just beautiful Deb!
ReplyDeleteDeb you took some great pictures this week and I love your childhood memory shots - those are precious. Do you have the pictures he drew? I agree, his pants are pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of texture! I forget to use them.... I think i need to search for some better ones. Mine are all blah. Anyway.... Love the long exposure and childhood memory ones!
ReplyDeleteSo very cool.. I love the texture you put on your bananas. and your long exposure shot looks dreamy..
ReplyDeleteHugs, Linda
I love your fruit shot - about time you used texture. So easy right?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.....you have inspired me to give photoshop a try tonight. It's funny how once you get comfortable with something you put off learning something new. I have tryed layers several times and not sure why I end up closing the program. Silly I know. You made bananas look so interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love that green shot! Very vibrant! Your childhood memory is very nice! I agree, great pants! ;0)
ReplyDeleteWho knew bananas could be interesting?? :) ~ And the pants...wow! The question now is, when are they going to be back in style?? ~ Love your long exposure! ...btw, love to vacation at Seaside/Watercolor, just a little down the coast from Destin! The beaches in that area are just amazing. Glad you got to get away! Looks like you had a great time :)
ReplyDeleteYou made bananas look good.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape shot, beautiful colors.
How cool that you have those childhood photos of you and your brother. So glad you decided to play with textures. They are fun and easy! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove the texture! When I get some free time I'm dying to try it.
ReplyDeleteI have the girls this week, I'll try when they leave!
Love those pictures of you and your brother, how special!!
Great idea adding texture to the banana shot, I so want to go to New Orleans someday.
ReplyDeletelove the old photos!
ReplyDeleteTerrific set! Textures can be addicting, but they can really jazz up a photo! I love bananas!
ReplyDeleteLove your long exposure and your green shot (the light hitting the fern is perfect!).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. Great job with your texture. Love your long exposure and green.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... I LOVE the pants from 40 years ago!! LOL~~ =) Fabulous texture pic!! I have not done that yet either... I am not sure my photo program has texture?? hm... I love love your shape pic... the ball pops right out of the pic!! =) Have a lovely week!
ReplyDeletemy almost 9 year old son's comment is hysterical!! he heard me laughing at the striped pants... asked to see... and he said this: "I wonder what his underpants look like"... oh dear... little boys!!
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by the subject of your Shape photo, reminds me of mementos we brought back from the brief excursion into Tijuana during my honeymoon many years ago ;-)
