365 CHALLENGE HIGH CONTRAST by sdutoit

365 CHALLENGE HIGH CONTRAST

Callie How about taking a photo with high contrast this week? This was my challenge.
I did not have much time to take the photo. Just point and shoot. Security and security cameras made it difficult to take time to focus.
You did well for just point and shoot!

@moya Thanks. Today is the day I wish I was on the beach in Mauritius. Enjoy.

Really good handle on the night and darkness with the artificial light coming into your decision as to how to set this!

@maggiemae Thanks. This is the best I could do. With hubby on the one side you do have to watch him all the time. I therefore do not get the change to get out in public places very often. I also can't take the tripod etc when alone with him.

@sdutoit I would hope you have someone who can watch him at some times? Its too hard on you! (without sounding selfish)
August 21st, 2015  
@maggiemae No unfortunately not. Two of my children live in the UK. The third works all day and I do not want to bother them. He is very dependent on me. Alzheimers is a very cruel illness. In day time he is ok. At night he wants to go home although he is at home. One day I decided I could not go further. I the joint 365 and this makes a huge difference. At least something to enjoy and the interaction with fellow 365 people means a great deal. I like to travel and the photos brings new places to my computer. I therefore I thank one and all!

Nights are always a bad time with this disorder! You should have a group you can join to share and learn more!

But it came out pretty nicely in the end. I wouldn't have trusted the security cameras lest some security guard came to pick me up.

Well done!

You've captured a great atmosphere with this shot - I really do not like these places - creepy! I'm sorry to know about your husband's illness and think you are courageous how you deal with it and I agree that 365 is a great solace to many of us.

I like the pov, and there certainly is contrast!

Great shot, the light & colours in this are terrific

I admire you for being your husband's caretaker. Alzheimers is such a devastating disease, to see what it does to a loved one. You did a great job with this photo. I really like the composition and your POV.

Nice contrast. And let me say how greatly I admire you for joining up with 365 as a diversion and solace from your difficult situation with your husband's illness. Know you and yours are being held in the Light.

Cool shot Syllvia.

Those pillars definitely contrast brilliantly in the dimly-lit parking garage. Good job capturing the scene in a hurry.

Thanks for telling me that you too have an African Grey! I went and found Stoffel's picture; what a handsome bird. The parrot in the picture you commented on a couple of days ago is Kelly. She's 11 years old - I've had her since she was six months old. I also have another Grey - his name is Saber. He has only been featured in my 365 project once, back on August 13. He's not crazy about the camera staring at him. I look forward to you sharing more pictures of your beautiful Grey Stoffel.

@lyndemc Denise thanks for the info. Yes I will send a photo of Stoffel when he made a mess of newspapers etc. They are a handful but he Keeps me going.
August 22nd, 2015  
@skstein Thanks. Also for the good wishes.
August 23rd, 2015  
@aikimomm Thanks for sharing all the shadow pics. I enjoy going on a walk each day!

Great shot and pov, Sylvia. I know from experience that caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's is a 24/7 commitment & is a life changer for everyone, isn't it? Stay strong and know that you have many people from around the world thinking of you & sending positive thoughts and support :) Keep your fabulous photos coming!

@ravenshoe Thanks. 365 keeps me going! Today was one of those days. Thanks for every bodies support and thoughts.

I really like this shot. It's rather dark and forbidding but so interesting. Sterkte with caring for your husband. You are a brave woman to cope with everything on your own. I've been missing for a while but hope to catch up slowly.
