Reflecting Impressions by andycoleborn

Reflecting Impressions

Took a walk along a canal at lunchtime, nothing too interesting to take apart from a couple of snaps of the sun reflecting through the trees of the bank opposite me, which was highlighting the green moss just below the surface.

I didn't think anything at the time but once I uploaded the photos, I really liked them. The shimmer effect, the way the moss seems to be grass, the fence, trees and sky reminded me a little of impessionist paintings.

Quite pleased with this fluke photo although the sky on here isn't as blue as the JPEG image when I look at that...

My girlfriend had been revising like a cow (her words, not mine) for the last 7 days ahead of today's exam. She gets to the venue on time, only to be told by the Admin Manager that because she joined late, they had put her in for September's exam... But they forgot to email her!!! Never mind, gives her more time to revise...
I agree, it does remind me of the Impresionistic period and Monet!! Great shot.

That is terrible about your girlfriend missing the exam. That is a poor excuse on their part for not notifying her. I like the impressionist look to this picture.

Thank's very much guys... and Steve, I think it's an Indian thing (working like a cow)... Although whenever I've been to India the cows just wander about eating... lol

@hey Andy. My new camera is blue in colour so I named him Blue.

This is an awesome photo--love the swirly way the water is sitting (if that makes sense) very dreamy. (Revising like a cow--haha, I'll have to remember that one when I'm writing/revising)
