Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Yellow

I find yellow a challenge to photograph, mostly my yellows are  flowers. These are from my archives,  as yellow is not available in the nature at this time. Here are few OK  shots, in my humble opinion, at least they are yellow.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Threshold

How to get this in a photo, with no explanations is going to be hard, so I’m not going to try. These boys tried and tried and succeeded in staying up on as the surfed. I spit second of time was captured,  Re-surfing from under the wave

A threshold is a point of entering; that point just before a new beginning — that split-second moment in time, full of anticipation. All the hard work is over; relief is palpable.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

The wine  goes down so smoothly,  the  lipstick covered lips smoothly touch  the rim of the glass, white the fingers can feel the smoothness of the glass. If in  Stress, touch the smooth rock to relive the tension. you will feel calm and cool – smooth as ice.

Valokuvatorstai – Patience

No, No, no patience,  this was hard, what to photograph to convey patience. aah, … fishing –  i have none for it, lace making, no,no, not for me. I study sculpture, that requires patience and for some reason.  I have been able to summon up some to do it, here are few I’ve done.
