This is the view of downtown Hartford from the parking lot at my office building, which is located way on the outskirts of the city by the Connecticut River, taken as the sun was dying in the west. There are fences, trees and a junkyard between us and the view. Cutout is becoming one of my favorite filters, especially for images like this one--it has a way of reducing it to the basic elements of light and color.
...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.
I do love this - the way the light shines through the limbs is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe colors through the dark limbs are lovely! Nice catch!
ReplyDeleteI love the image witht the cutout filter. Makes it look like a painting. This is a very lovely image.
ReplyDeleteIt does look painterly, I love the deep blue and the red glow through the trees. Nice job making the view the star.
