Feelings of Light

 

Light has many moods. Strength, peace, happiness, sadness, warmth, cold etc.

 

Light can be very energizing .  The photos above, taken with Intagram, give a strong feeling of power and strength.

 

The first picture was taken on my way to work, East Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan. Nice place to live, right!

 

The second was at sunset on West Grand Traverse Bay. Although it  still feels powerful it conveys a feeling of peace, the end of a beautiful day.

 

The third has a slightly cooler feel to it but still strong. And in the pinks I feel kindness.

 

I hope the light that is surrounding you today is full of warmth and comfort.

 

More Feelings of  Light to come.

The Color of Old

       Mouse over for before and after


Something old... that was one of the shots to find on our scavanger hunt in my flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/kktribe/ . The textures and shapes in the before and after photos do speak to the age of the barn but I believe that the color is what really brings the feelings of time. The dark browns, rusts and grays combined to give a very weathered, dated perception. The red barn in the background adds a nice touch to remind you of the present, of new. 

I always like to take a peak in to old buildings and think of what it was like when it was new. Who worked there? Did they have a family? Was it a lonely life or a blessedly simple one? Who stood where I am standing? The thoughts go on.

The mouse over effect was taught to me by Kim Klassen and Xanthey Berkeley in The Behind The Sceens class.Grab the button on the right and check out their awseome class. The effect I used on the after photo was from the Euphoira Collection by Isabella LaFrance http://ilafrancephotography.com/blog/
