This is the roof of St. Paul's church here in town. In light of the lowering sun this evening, the tiles really were that shade of orange and the sky really was that turquoise blue. Since the original image is so stark and abstract, I wanted to render it down to its very basic elements: color and line. A combination of Posterize and Poster Edges did just that.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
The contrast between the orange and the blue is fabulous. I do love the filtered version.
