In The Yard – ITY19

I wasn’t sure how the evening would end as the clouds were not giving me much hope for a sunset. I had all but given up for the night when 30 minutes before the official sunset a thin layer of orange appeared between the clouds and the horizon. This is when I remembered watching a Bryan Peterson video in the morning about shooting macro photography in my backyard (well, I have been doing that and wanted to see what he had to say…). Definitely check out the video here.

I played with the concept from the video in my own way.  I think there are times I get caught up in trying to capture my next great image I forget I can go create an image that I want.  This little creation brought back my failed Saturday attempt and now I am planning to give it another try.  I think it will be worth the effort even if the image doesn’t turn out the way I expect, the fun is in the attempt…  🙂

Do you ever get a concept for an image in your head and then when you attempt to execute it just doesn’t look right? That was me yesterday morning. I had an idea for something I thought would look cool and the conditions appeared to be in my favor (at least at home). When I arrived at my locations the sky was clear with nothing to help add color and interest to my concept. I tried! I really did but it was just not working, so I bought some donut holes and went back home to drown my sorrows… LOL!

I’ll keep the concept in the back of my head for another day.

What you get instead is another look at my Walt Disney World in Black & White series. I’m including the original color version as well for this post as I think it works as an interesting image too. I like the starkness of the all white Space Mountain building against a cloud-filled sky with just a hint of additional color from the sign.  It might actually be a stronger image than my conversion to B&W.
