Lens Artists Photo Challenge #290 – Circular Wonders

March 13, 2024Posted in PhotographyTagged Caribbean Cruise, Circular Wonders, Lens-Artists, Photo Challenge, Pipes and Drums, St. Patrick's Day35 Comments

Our challenge from Anne-Christine is to feature circular wonders by showing circles and half circles.

In my opening photo above the most circular wonder of all is the sun at sunset. The following two images are from our February Caribbean cruise.

Round portholes on a sailing vessel in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Tybee Pier and Pavillion was a great place to listen to Irish music performed by Pipes and Drums Bands from Savannah and Limerick, Ireland as Savannah gets ready for it’s 200th St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday. The following gallery includes a few circular wonders.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #289 – Tools of Photo Composition

For this challenge JohnBo has asked us to show examples of how we use these tools of photo composition: Shape, Form, Texture and Light.

In my opening photo above I like the shapes of triangles for the roof and rectangles for the windows and shutters in this colorful building at the Carabelle Batik Studio in St. Kitts.

The image below focuses on the natural forms and texture of the hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.

One of my favorite times to use light is at sunset. Watching the sunset as our cruise ship was sailing out of San Juan, Puerto Rico was a perfect ending to the day.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #288 – Window Shopping

March 2, 2024Posted in PhotographyTagged Lens-Artists, Photo Challenge, Window Shopping20 Comments

Ritva is one of our newest Lens Artists hosts. Her first challenge is Window Shopping.

I’m not much of a shopper but I’m great at window shopping. In fact, I am so busy looking at the merchandise I don’t usually think about taking photos. I managed to find three shopping images from our recent West Indies cruise.

The header photo was taken at the Carabelle Batik Factory in St. Kitts. The colorful Batik fabrics drying in the sun were just a sample of the beautiful items we found in the store. Too bad I didn’t have enough time to choose something to bring home.

Visitors can find hats, jewelry, bags, clothing, and many types of souvenirs at the market in St. Martin.

We did a little shopping and enjoyed lunch at Millie’s at the Barbados cruise ship dock.

Many thanks to our host Ritva for the challenge Lens-Artists #288 – Window Shopping
