Old Time Reflection (Weekend Reflections #31)

Hello everybody. I'm back and ready for the reflections! During my break I decided to start a six month mostly black and white project over at my Something Sighted blog. Hopefully I'll be able to improve my black and white photo skills during that time. When that project is finished I'll start another project that I'm really,really looking forward to (more details to follow). :)

  9. what a great photo...love the b&w inside colour, but what really stands out is that you're taking the photo from the car...but no road is in sight just the grass & parking lot. (is it?)

  10. I am so amazed with this! First of all, the car was parked exactly in the right place to reflect the horse and buggy so perfectly, nothing is left out. Secondly...the black and white separated from the color! I am so impressed! Very very good, James!

  11. This is just a perfect reflection shot, James! How many hundreds of years between the two vehicles do you figure? :)

  37. It is the artistic moment when past and present is mixed.

    I learned splendor of the photography from this work.

  40. Outstanding shot James! I really like the juxtaposition of color and B&W, of new and old. Perfect framing. Ya done good!!!

    I'm late today. I was out on my bicycle for hours today. Went for a long ride to visit my mother. I had one of my Nikons with me but I wasn't in the mood so I didn't take a single picture.

  50. This is a marvelous photo, James... It is so unique and well done. I think 'creative' is your middle name.

    I wish you and Vicki a wonderful weekend :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. That would have been a great shot - even all in color! But making the reflection b&w really takes you back in time...

    ReplyDelete
  52. Fantastic! Looking forward to your b&w project—and the one to follow!

    ReplyDelete
