I've joined a new photographer forum recently. The Digital Rebels Yahoo group is pretty cool if you can keep up with them. Just a bunch of photographers who aren't up themselves and enjoy the hell out of taking pictures. Anyway they have regular assignments where a theme is posted and members are invited to post an image to suit. The image must be taken with the two weeks after the theme is posted (so there's no delving into the archive for entries). Each theme has a two week window and there is a new one posted every single week, so they overlap. The last two assignments have been "Reflection" and "Blue". I managed to satisfy both themes in one shoot on Friday. I stopped by this blue building by the boat-builders (which looks like it was once a church) to see if I could make it look interesting in a photo....
The shot above was my entry into the "Blue" assignment gallery. It's an HDR image, meaning its made up of three shots of the same scene exposed differently so I could get the bright sky and the building in shadow both clearly visible. I've never really tried HDR before.
This one I submitted to the "Reflection" assignment gallery.
