Last Friday’s Photowalk Tip was to shoot 3 different subject matters – an architectural image, a “street” image and a nature image. I found that the exercise pushed me to seek out images I might not have otherwise found. My favorite is the street image – I was holding the camera at waist level, discretely snapping a typical summer moment – boys at the ice cream truck while dad pays! The colors were very bright; the lads hair was carrot orange and his shirt was bright yellow so I toned it down to give it a classic look.
Friday Photowalk Tip (Aug. 6th)

All nice for the theme but I want the carrot top back, nothing looks more natural, than the Ron Howard Look, wow another Ron what done good!
I really like the angle of the two first shots and the light is great on the last one and I think you did a good job with the middle one
Nice take on the walk themes….hey wait….that’s me buying ice cream again:) Love the leaf too.
I agree, your street scene is fantastic! I also really like the lighting on the leaf….sensational!
Wow, what a great job on the Photowalk tip! You really nailed the subjects with your trio of shots. These photos are really inspiring me to try some new things. I love how you accepted this challenge and did such a fantastic job with it. The street scene desaturated a little makes it look so nostalgic.
The winner is the street scene… your post processing really keeps it nostalgic. Is the leaf from a Japanese Maple tree or is it already changing colors? It’s a nice shot with the background colors to enhance it.
Yes, it’s a Japanese Maple outside my kitchen window. The sun was streaming in at a low angle which enhanced the glow. Sadly, we are already seeing some trees changing colors a bit due mostly to the drought conditions – our birch is yellowing a bit. We’re expecting rain next week (fingers crossed!)
These are fabulous. The photo of the boys is great, but the Japanese Maple is so beautiful. The colors and bokeh are wonderful.
What a nice selection of shots. I love the old *modern* diner sign especially…
Great job! I love the classic look you gave the boys. Almost a Norman Rockwell moment! You did a great job in capturing the light on the Japanese Maple. It is a beautiful image!
Great choices – I like the maple leaf best – the light is awesome.
