Wet vision
London, ON, June 2009
We've covered seasons before (autumn and winter) so it was only a matter of time before we returned to the seasonal fold. Summer vexes me because, well, it's so darn bright. The blast furnace of light adds a certain level of challenge every time I head out to shoot, especially when I'm limited by my schedule to a midday outing. If early mornings and late evenings are the golden hours, then lunchtime in summer is anything but golden. Or subtle.
But when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And it's good for the photographic soul to work in scenarios that aren't otherwise ideal. That's how we learn, after all. Or so I've been told.
Your turn: We'll be sharing summer-themed pics all week long. How does this Thematic Photographic thing work? Read on, McDuff...
- Every Wednesday evening, at precisely 7 o'clock Eastern, I post a new Thematic Photographic entry.
- Each entry has a unique theme. This week's is...summer!
- You post a similarly themed image over on your blog.
- You paste a link to your entry in a comment here.
- If you've already posted something that fits (on a blog, Facebook, MySpace, wherever) simply post the link to the existing entry. Old or new, all photos are welcome.
- You may post as many photos or links as you wish. For the next week, I'll be supporting this theme with a related picture/posting each day. I encourage you to do the same. This is all about sharing, so feel free to share to your heart's content!
- Please share this link with friends, too, and encourage them to join in. The more, the merrier.
- And please accept my thanks for your enthusiasm. Your participation has made TP a true highlight for me each and every week.

ReplyDeleteAloha, Carmi-
Comfort Spiral
Google goggles! LOL ;-]
ReplyDeleteBetween shooting for Robin's "Summer Stock Sunday" and Pic A Theme's "Summer Fun Theme" I have a wealth of quality summerized offerings. Starting with this one:
ReplyDeleteThematic Photographic 63: "Summer" - v.1.0 "Topsail Of The Mornin'"
Of course it doesn't hurt that I just recently spent a 3-day weekend at the beach with nothing on my mind but the light.
What a great photo to start of this weeks theme. Brilliant. Mine is up HERE. I so enjoy this. Have a great Thursday :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that photo! It should be a poster in a swim gear store!
ReplyDeleteHere is my offering this week my friend. Hope you enjoy it. :)

As I sit at home at 10.00 am on hoiliday with the lights on as it is so dark outside... Yes we are still waiting for summer to come in the UK and doubt that it will arrive this year... the next five days are scheduled as more heavy rain. We did have a couple of days where it looked as though we may be in for good weather and about 5 without rain but cloudy... a move to warmer climes seems inviting. Will see what I can do...
ReplyDeleteCarmi - I love the pic of the goggles :) Mine is up - Splish Splash
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Carmi!
ReplyDeleteMy first take of the theme is up.
Have a nice day!

Driving along the Seaway Trail, stopped at the state park to enjoy our lunch near the water on this humid summer day.
ReplyDeleteHow about a summer bike ride?
ReplyDeleteHi, Carmi and friends! I have another summer photo up!

My second summer is up :)
ReplyDeleteAnna
Hi CArmi!
ReplyDeleteMine is up. I love summer because it means more beach time, relaxation, and travel. I like to pretend I am a travel journalist via my blog an enjoy documenting all those little trips (even if it is to the next town over) and thank God for summer when I have more time to explore.
hope you are making some awesome summer memories with your kiddos! :)
Just trying to get my "photo" legs again....

I only have one Summer pic up -- Sailboarding Off Diamond Head. I am liking this shot of the Goggles a lot. It reminds me of one of my favorite pics of my snorkeling merman -- but I posted it weeks ago.
