Day 852 Brick Building and Almond Trees

I did a U-Turn and pulled in to this dirt area because I liked the sun's reflection on this small puddle of water. While there I also got a quick shot of the building, which I've seen many times before but never gotten a good picture. Then I pulled out making another U-Turn into the road and while holding my camera out the drivers side window I hoped I'd get another picture. I was elated to find the top one. It's perfect and my favorite for the day. Sometimes you just get lucky!

Day 847 Rainy Morning in Noir 1

Yesterday I happened to look at Photos on my Mac. I have never done so, as I have Aperture and always use that program. I found a filter called Noir. Well... I LOVE NOIR! My husband and I love watching the NOIR movies on TCM. So loving the NOIR filter was a given. But what I just realized is that, in Junior College I always printed my black and white photos dark. ALWAYS. I'm am posting a few times today as I have many photos I want to share. The top photo in this post is my absolute favorite for today.

Day 846 Drive to Work

Day 845 Jewelry

I belong to a Facebook photography group that is about learning how to take pictures. I do it so that I can have random assignments. I love getting a subject and then figuring out what I can do with it. The assignment was accessories shot indoors. The top photo is of my wedding ring and the bottom photo is of a necklace my sister bought me when I was twenty. So the necklace is forty years old and the ring is about twenty.
