About Me
- Linda aka Elemobe
- One evening in August 2006, I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Elements, loved it and for the next 3 months, was totally absorbed learning how to use such fun software . I quickly realised that whilst editing can do a lot for not so good photos (polite term for "crap")it was actually better to be creative with good images - and so my love of photography was re-ignited. This Blog is part of my creative journey. I have a lot to learn but the motivation of getting out there to tick off the themes gives me good practice. Please look through and feel free to comment, which I welcome and appreciate. Thanks for stopping by.

An interesting image. I like how you used the foliage to frame the subject. And by putting the main subject, the fisherman, to the side and small, the viewer needs to study the image to take it all in.
At first I thought it was a pleasant nature scene. Then I spotted the person, and tried to figure out what he was doing. Then I noticed that the buildings extended throughout the frame and realized this wasn't a "true" nature scene at all, but a slice of suburbia. Which made me wonder further what the guy was doing (the fishing pole is not obvious).
(For those wondering how I didn't know he was fishing, when I "read" these blogs I click the picture first to get the larger view, and then go back and read the captions.)
I enjoyed this image.
Thank you Mevets for your comments, much appreciated. It was the framing that caught my eye because in reality the fisherman was a lot clearer. What I really wanted to do was go back to my car, grab the tripod and take the shot properly. However, my circumstances were that I was walking 3 dogs who were having a great time running around, so I had to keep one eye on them.
I love this stretch of river, partly because of the painted houses, the brewery is just beyond the bridge and the castle is next - so quite picturesque.
If I can capture just some of the "feeling" of the place, then objective achieved - I'm working on it ;)
