my journey from pictures to photography
If there are cows at the beach, you must be in Texas. This is not the best-composed photograph I’ve ever taken, nor the best edited. The challenge for week 3 is Artistic – Land. The juxtaposition of grazing pastureland and tourist beach houses isn’t found just anywhere. We certainly don’t see it in Orange Beach or Gulf Shores.
Straight Outta the Camera means just that — you don’t make any adjustments to the image after you shoot it. Honestly, I positioned the birds in the frame but I didn’t plan on the other guy on the pier tossing a piece of bread at exactly the right time to land in my subject’s mouth. The impression I wanted to convey was how powerful the wind was that day.
At the east end of Galveston Island is a little viewing spot where you and the seagulls, and whatever other birds are around, can watch the ships, tugs, and barges moving in and out of Galveston Bay.
This was the Week 2 photography assignment for my 52-week photography challenge, and yes, I know this is not the 2nd week of the year. I’m playing catch up, and I’m okay with that.
