Balconies In Bloom

52Frames - Week 10 - Black And White

Scottsdale, AZ

Under a beautiful late afternoon light, the plantings on the balconies against the striking patterns in the architecture caught my attention while sitting at a traffic light.  Captured this scene through my car windshield.

Stripes

Dark shadows on a light background or bright light on a dark background?  You be the judge.

Crop Guide

The lines, shapes and especially diagonals reminded me of a Lightroom crop overlay.

Imperfect Ambiance

52Frames - Week 46 - Wabi Sabi

Imperfections in formality of this fountain/balcony scene spoke of Wabi-Sabi to me.

Low-Key Low-Key

52Frames - Week 42 - Low Key

Taking advantage of a stormy evening for a low-key shot from my balcony.  Across from our condo is a small office building with reflective glass.  All the lights were off in the offices so turning lights on in the condo made for silhouette backlighting of my reflection.  Hence a low-key, reflected silhouette, self-portrait image.

Disgruntled

CLondon52w41: Asymmetry

From the C.London website: “Oh yes, we know symmetry is pleasing, but can asymmetry be as well?  But, of course!  Try it out for yourself - make an unbalanced, asymmetric image.  Same as last week, it can be the entire image, or an element of the image.”

As previously described back in Week 22, the animals on our balcony are a rambunctious group.  I think Doodle-Doo is pissed because he can't reach the Halloween pumpkins.

Behind The Green Door

The green light and empty chair caught my eye.

It Ain't Over Yet

Just when the weather was improving, Mother Nature reminded us not to get complacent.
