Here are my pictures featuring items from Cee’s photo. I’ve chosen to go mainly with the blue, orange and sea themes.
Blue, sky, clouds
octopus, orange, blue
orange, water, clouds
sea, sky, orange, blue, clouds
orange, fish, water
This week Cee would like us to find photos featuring items from her photo below.
For this week’s challenge I used my smart phone again and took a few photos of things at the Op Shop. As we have a lot of stuff and not a lot of room you can always find a stack of something.
Another place you will always find stacks of things is my garage. The stacks of boxes contain things that I have packed away to make the house less cluttered.
Here is an old one, apple boxes piled up near an orchard at Surges Bay I think it was.
And a recent one of a container ship, one of many we saw near Singapore.
I was getting a bit tired of using old photos for every challenge but I haven’t been anywhere to take photos lately.
Yesterday I went in to Hobart to meet up with Matt and Ally for lunch so I didn’t take the camera with me. I didn’t think there would be time for pictures if I was going to get home before dark.
I did take my phone though and although I don’t really enjoy using the smart phone for photos, I always seem to get my fingers in the way, I did snap off a few things I saw on the walk back to the bus stop. Unfortunately as my battery was getting flat it turned off wi-fi and the pictures did not import to Dropbox as they should have so I am late getting this post out.
Not the most exciting photo but here the sea, the land, the clouds and the sky make for a lot of horizontal lines. It reminds me of the old song that mum used to sing to us when we were little.
“I joined the navy to see the world; but what did I see? I saw the sea.”
This next one was taken while we took a boat trip on the Singapore River.
A car park in Hobart.
Another favourite building of mine even though it is rather austere. Circular Quay Railway Station in Sydney.
I really started thinking about shelves and stacks for this challenge.
Display unit at the Mint Toy Museum in Singapore. A display of Beatles memorabilia.
The wet weather has certainly ruined my weekend off as far as going out was concerned so I am stuck here at home. Of course I had seen the forecast but was wishing I could put the dogs in the car and take off for the day. It would have been great to get out of the house but we would not have been able to walk about much due to the rain. It has really set in here so decided to get on with editing some photos and some of my other hobbies. I am also using a trial photo editing program that I recently downloaded from the Microsoft Store. I’ve played around with most of these photos a little bit. One or two have been left alone as I like them as they are. Others I changed more for the fun of it rather than because they were too dark or whatever. I always try to find photos that I have not used in the past but this is sometimes hard as I have not been taking pictures for very long. Here are the shots I picked for Columns and Vertical Lines today.
As it is too wet to take photos today I’ve chosen a variety of pictures from all over the place starting with one of the many new office blocks going up in Brisbane. These pictures were taken between 2007 and the present with a variety of different cameras from my old point and shoot Kodak Easyshare, Fujifilm point and shoot I think, Nikon L120 and Pentax K10 for the Brisbane one. I’m doing a free trial of Adobe Photo Elements 2018 so edited my pictures with it today to help me decide if I want to shell out the money for it or stick with Photo Elements 9, Picasa and the Windows photo editing program which are the three progams I use currently.
New Zealand in 2016. I knew Napier would not disappoint, it has some wonderful old buildings.
In Auckland we liked the interior of the old railway station building.
I took this one in the Myer Centre in Adelaide in 2011. The upper floors were empty and deserted which I found very disconcerting in a building I remembered as a busy shopping centre.
Still in Adelaide one of the older style buildings in Rundle Mall which I photographed in 2011. I won’t guarantee it is still there now.
On a trip to Canberra in 2007 we stopped off at Gundagai, NSW.
