46/365 – S is for … (And lots of others from today, with words an all sorts.)
Solitary.
Today the sun shone but I have been feeling a little like this photograph, a little bit solitary and uninspired. I saw that rare glimmer of the sun this morning and thought I must get out with my camera, I must leave now!
However recently I have found myself scowling at my camera and saying. ”I don’t know what you want from me, tell me… TELL ME!” Of course it can’t, it is just a camera, the day it can I will love it long time.
I realised that the problem I have is that with lack of time and transport I am limited in where I photograph. I knew I was heading to the same place I have taken a billionty-two photographs before. Where is the inspiration in that? Well, there isn’t any is there? So I sat and thunk (that is Manchester for pondered profoundly whilst stroking my chin) and decided that while I was out I would only take photographs of anything I could name with the letter S and no matter how much I liked what I saw unless I could ‘S’ it up, the photograph was not going to be taken.
So, I welcome you to all things S.
Seagulls over people Strolling towards the Shelter.
Shelter, Steps and a person Staring at me.
Sci-Fi Shelter at a Strange angle looking a bit Slippery and Slimey.
Shiney loveheart Shaped coast and Sea.(I am Struggling now, help me out here!)
Steps and Seeing a reflection that Stops you to take a Shot.
Stones and Sky.
Stopped in my tracks.
Shunned.
Shutters and Sunglasses required.
Shergar?? (I think this might be the gateway to the local Abattoir?)
Statue that would Scare me Sh*tless meeting that on my way home after a wine or two.
Here endeth my S day. Thank you for baring with me.
Gorgeous shots! My favorite is “Stopped in my tracks.”
Thanks Matt, I did reply to this comment earlier but I don’t know where it has gone so I will reply again lol I have been told that I often use ‘barriers’ in my photography, I am not sure if that is subconscious or not. I just really liked this scene.
Great S day shots, Jo! My fav is the steps and reflections. Good eye to see that shot and then make it great!
Thanks Cheryl, I was looking for Shadows when I spotted that reflection, I don’t think I have managed a good ‘reflection’ shot up to now so I was quite happy with that one.
You have me with the first picture. The rest flowed so beautifully image after image. You captured the soul in each scene. Perfect effects as well.
Gosh, thank you so much for you kind words.
I especially loved the Sci-Fi shelted and stops you to take a shot.
Thank you, I do love the shelters here if you catch them in the right light they can look really unearthly.
Wonderful images. If you do this when you’re not inspired can’t wait to see what you do when you are
Thank you Lena, I think I managed to get inspired towards the end
BRILLIANT – love the slime green space ship.
again all good, I have to say the first 2 are my favs.
Thank you Steve
