It's time for another photo practice as I'm not sure when the last one was. I've been taking photos here and there, hoping to take a few good ones I can post. My plan was to focus on architecture and black and white, but most likely that's going to happen this week, in the upcoming days.
Let's start with some good old monochromes as architecture looks better in black and white in my opinion and I'm not the only one. When you take away the colors, the eye focuses on the details.
And this is the time when my photo editor starts to play pranks on me.
This is the edit I uploaded and below you can see how the photo looked like after uploading.
This is just thee draft, so I'm not sure how the photo will look like after posting, but previous experience tells me it's going to be dark. I have no idea why Google Picasa does this, have not been able to figure it out yet.
This one is way darker than I wanted to be, but not as bad as the previous one.
I tried to capture this one from different angles.
Parked cars are always frustrating, but what can you do, right?
I like this tunnel quite a lot and always try to take photos from different angles.
This photo also looks darker in the draft. I'm afraid this post will be a total disaster, but can only find out after posting.
I took this photo in May and wanted to post it, but always forgot. This photo was taken in a catholic church. At the time of my visit, there was a baptizing ceremony going on, therefore the gates were closed, you could only enter the praying area of the church. The iron grid was closed, but I took some photos through it, trying to focus on the altar. I wanted to capture the iron gate too, especially this circle.
On Sunday I went to a medieval festival, hoping to see some interesting plays, nice music and be part of a good atmosphere, but it wasn't like that. Unfortunately the quality of the festival was not what I expected. I took a few photos, just for fun. This one was funny.
They were preparing to play a medieval game, with balls and that wooden board, but it was for the children.
Last, but not least, two statue I photographed at one of the museums I'm visiting often. These were not part of the collection, these statues are permanently exhibited and my purpose was just to practice.
This is it for today. I'm frightened to click on the Publish button as don't know how the photos are going to look but the only way to find out is publishing the post. So fingers crossed. I hope Picasa is done with the pranks as I have work to do and this is not fun.
