Newport News, VA. I feel like we are the bologna between the bread (Williamsburg and Virginia Beach). ;)
A refuge in the middle of the city.
Thanks everyone. I'm probably gonna be shunned, but I took these with my iPhone 7 Plus which was in my pocket. My momma raised me that sometimes it is any port in the storm.
I'm a city kid visiting the Northwest so my perspective on fruit comes from the grocery store. I was fascinated by the preview of the origin of the Apple. This gentleman is in his 80's. I guess the Northwest grows strong people and tender apples.
Well whatever you did, they are striking!
Curious as to how you make the photos look like paintings.
I am such a babe in the photographic woods so I can't give any opinion about the "why" of it. However, I love the photo. I think the dark in the upper sky contrasts nicely with the rest of the picture and ties in the dark areas in the bottom. Too bad Prince's Purple Rain album cover has already been released.
Took this from a window in my house. Thought the Cardinal's expression was funny.
The weather in Virginia this year has been crazy. One day freezing snow and the next day summer weather. I took these two pictures. Not sure how great they are photographically, but they capture the crazy weather.
Thank you so much. I haven't posted that particular picture any where but here in this forum and I certainly wouldn't sell it. I too feel it is too private a moment. Based on what you said, should I remove it from here?
All of you have been so kind. I am pretty new to all of this. Until about a year ago, the only thing I knew about taking pictures was how to use my iphone. I thought I'd post the picture which was the basis for my question. I took the other photo too last July 2016.
Actually, I was at the 911 Memorial and taking photos for myself. A young man was touching one of the names on the monument and appeared to be praying. I was touched by his oblivion to the noise and crowd around him. I didn't realize how much I really liked the photo until I returned home. Hope that explains it a little more. So should I keep the photo to myself or can I share it?
If I am photographing a scene and I capture a person's poignant moment, do I need a release from them before publishing the picture?
