From Today’s Walk

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on From Today’s Walk

After walking in New York in rather cold temps, today’s San Jose temperatures in the 50s felt mighty warm. It was so nice to get out on a walk, and I even managed to pull the camera out a few times.

Walking in New York I found very few flowers, and the ones I did find were in sad shape. Here in my neck ‘o the woods flowers bloom all year and I’m seeing some lovely ones. This shot, though, is of a succulent: I’m rather fond of Kalanchoe. I find the colors to be so lovely, and the shapes one finds are, at least to me, quite beautiful.

Another Day, Another Agave

by patricia emerson mitchell2 Comments on Another Day, Another Agave

As I wrote, the colors can vary greatly with the same plant, depending upon the light. Here’s another agave shot from the very same day, only minutes apart from the other I posted yesterday. (So what would <i>you</i> do if you were the photographer? Adjust all photos so the colors match? Accept that light changes the colors and leave them? Thoughts?)

Good Friday Morning!

I’m looking back at 2015 work at the moment. LOTS of junk there. But some I rather like. This succulent is an interesting one. The colors differ vastly, depending upon the light I had when shooting. Some look tremendously blue, while others have more yellow in them. I’m never sure how I should process them: stick to the “camera color”? Adjust so they all look the same? Dunno!
 
For now this is what I’ll do with this one. Subject to change, of course. But this is “camera color”. The very next shots are SO very blue. I might post one later ….
