Going back

We finally got to go back to Hurricane Shoals county park in GA where they have the lovely Heritage Village that we couldn't photograph well in the rain.  Yesterday was a beautiful fall day and we were on our way to Clayton, GA so we stopped for a visit.  Much nicer in the sunshine.   This is a shot in one of the cabins they have moved to the site.  I'm not sure why the bed frame is there, but it makes for a nice photo.

I didn't have to change lighting and just saturated the bed frame color a little.

Wrong tag

If I'd been paying close attention, I would have discovered that I had reversed the tags on the photos I submitted to the last juried show. So, the one I posted of the single flower may be a nice photo, but it was not the one that was selected.

This turns out to be good because I like the other one better and could not understand why it didn't make the jury cut.

So, this is a photo of the reflection in the window of an antique store in Athens, Ga one winter morning. There was a mirror in the window and other glass objects. I love how the window and the mirror reflect the building across the street! You may notice the the two pictures that have been accepted into the juried shows are both reflections.....I see a pattern here!

The only adjustments were slight ones to the lighting and saturation of the sky.

This is what I love about photography...it teaches you to look more closely at things and what you are actually seeing. I could have just walked down the street and taken a cursory glance at the antiques in the window, but by really looking, I saw more. With a camera attached, I could grab the image and keep it.

Social Circle, GA

Someone just outside Social Circle, GA seems to have started a collection of old steam tractors. This one is sitting near the road, but there are more in the back and a mill wheel near the stream. I hope they are working on a museum, but it may just be a hobby. The side of this machine reads Elect Wiley Pucket State Senator July 18?? under the rust and weather. I'll do some research on that. In the meantime, I thought you'd all enjoy seeing some more GA roadside art.
