Lens-Artists Challenge #169 – The Ordinary

Posted on Categories Architecture, Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, Nature, Pareidolia, Photography, Seasons

I.J. Khanewala challenges me to see the ordinary into the most extraordinary thing that you have seen. I am up for this challenge. When I come to a well traveled place I have a pre conceived idea of the typical image. I usually take a couple of these, but then I look around. I want to look deeper and find “my” image.

A simple squash displays color, texture, and design.
The colors of Autumn found on this grape vine.
A Sunflower at season’s end.
Nature’s beauty
Shadows form on the fluorescent green that floats on the pond
I freeze the motion for this water fountain.
Ordinary water creates wonderful images.
I love looking for images created by reflections.
Looking deeply at parts. All these images were taken without cropping. I once had a teacher who frowned upon the process of cropping to improve an image.

I remember a magazine that my son read as a boy that had a page of photographs. The idea was that you were supposed to figure out what the image was a part of. Always fascinated me. Do you have an idea of what these are parts of?

I hope you enjoy looking at how the ordinary can make an extraordinary image.

My photography provides a focus on the small details surrounding me, and it allows me to explore the world. You will find me around Sacramento with camera in hand ready to capture, "A Photo's Worth"!
