Bonne journée, photo challenge

Lens-Artists Challenge #304: Behind


Boring?
Well, the photo above is not interesting. It is a traditional Japanese room with tatami mats and a very low table. The reed blinds on the window might be interesting to some people. Some people might think that a cool breeze is blowing through them. But that was not my intention. What I wanted to capture was behind the reed blinds. The contrast of the roof tiles, the tropical plants and the shadows in the room made the room look cooler.

Lens-Artists Challenge #304: Behind

I know the next photo needs no explanation. Hydrangea is a rainy season plant, and it looks more beautiful in the shade. The temple behind the flower should have been more blurred. I actually took some blurry photos. But in the end, the blurry photos were just photos of flowers.


Finally, I would like to show my failure of paying attention the background. I wanted to take a picture of a bollard with a background of a bay and a bridge. Pan focus would be better but the focus should on a bollard. I didn’t find any concern. However, I realized my simple mistake. There was no bay water between me and the bridge on the picture.

  1. I find the first photo the opposit of boring. There’s a lot going on there, and yes, people can think there’s a slight breeze too. I like the darkness/coolness of the room, the different textures inside and out.

  2. I liked the photos you picked for the challenge, Tanu. The opening photo is very serene. I love the atmosphere it brings and the textures on the floor and window.

    1. Thank you for the message. Hydrangeas are almost at the end of blooming and summer is coming here.
      Have a good day.
