On The Streets

Ever since I took Darrah Parker's course "Slice of Life Project" I'm drawn to look at people's feet - and I love to photograph them, too. Though it's still very hard for me to take pictures of people (yes, even if it's only their feet), but I do find it a bit easier when concentrating not on their faces but on the ground, hoping they won't notice my taking photos.

So here is another contribution for Justine's "Movement in March" and I guess you have to be prepared to see a few more feet...

As I like the black and white version here, I'll also link it up to Black and White Wednesday.

Have a wonderful day!

Creative Exchange

Today I tried something new, something I've always wanted to try, and what better opportunity with a theme like Justine's "Movement in March" and Lisa's Creative Exchange to give it a go.

I'm sure you know those pictures of flowing waters that look so dreamy and a bit like cotton candy... I opted for that. I grabbed my tripod and went to a little creek nearby. The result isn't quite what I had in mind but I was having a lot of fun trying all sorts of settings. I adjusted the levels a bit and then cropped it into a square - inspired by Kat's "Exploring with a Camera". The perfectionist in me was debating whether to post a photo I'm not quite satisfied with... but, well, here it is.

Have a wonderful and safe start into the week!

Movement

Time is moving so fast, racing would be the more appropriate word, and much too fast for my liking. I feel like I've been hit by a wave, drawn into the sea and struggling to keep my head above the water. Very exhausting and not much fun... So I decided to go with the waves and adjust my rhythm.

I plan to carve out more time again for all those things I love and miss like photographing, playing around with textures and PSE, posting, reading your blogs, contributing to my flickr groups and also admiring the fabulous photos there. I'm aware that it won't work at once and I will get hit by a wave once in a while again, but it's a plan, isn't it?

Today's photo is from my archives - I chose it as it fits my feelings so perfectly. I'll link it up to Lisa's Creative Exchange, where you'll find a great post and interesting links over the next few days. This is also my first contribution to Justine's March theme, which is a real challenge for me.

I hope you have a great start into the week!
