Stone Parachute by taffy

Stone Parachute

In the kitchen, talking to JIm across the counter when I noticed the reflection of the dining room light fixture in the granite. I'd never seen this reflected before and took the shot. Tonite, I brought out color using Color Efex and Topaz Adjust software. The original was sort of cloudy looking. Jim was the one who mentioned that he thought it looked like a parachute dropping through the sky. I was mostly looking at the circles -- the bottom of the rods, and the ones that disappear behind the stone.

Reflections are fascinating and this one here is really great. I like the parachute association.

This phenomenon is the most obvious aspect of doing a 365 project - you'll be having a conversation with someone and then it happens - you spot something, run for the camera and leave your companion befuddled. It doesn't take them long to figure out that you have a disease- it can't be helped by anything other than massive doses of camera time. ;-)

It does look like a parachute! I really like the tone of colors and textures in this photo!

@timandelke So true Elke! And sometimes the response is to roll eyes or laugh, and others, real annoyance. I need to figure out which prompts which response!

Love the processing..very well seen..ordinary to extraordinary! Well Taffy...u r so good and do so much...not sure if this is challenge enough...so here goes...besides photography...if there was anything u would have liked to do in your life but it just wasn't the right time...depict what that would be...ie: movie star..astronaut...:) And show why u in particular would have liked to do or be this...Does that work? :)

Wonderful processing... I thought you were taking a picture in a restaurant.
October 6th, 2013  
Now that's pretty darn cool! Well spotted :)

Very cool! I love the tones.
October 6th, 2013  
Well spotted. Very cool

@nanderson Wow -- now that is a hard challenge!! I'll give it some thought and try to figure out something that I could draw on. The problem with being pretty happy is that I can't think of anything I would have done otherwise (other than being a photojournalist if I'd only known that was a real career!). Mmmmm....this may be the hardest challenge I've had since joining 365.
October 6th, 2013  
YOU KNOW I have to fav this REFLECTION, right?? :)
Oh, and my next challenge I've received is forced perspective. I'm already sweating away!
October 6th, 2013  
love it ...
October 7th, 2013

Really intriguing and abstract image, and I like the story behind it too!

Funny what photography makes you see, isn't it?
October 7th, 2013

Wonderful! I Love how this happened, how your eye is attuned to the imagery in the wimple world around you.

Mac
simple not wimple. :o)
October 8th, 2013  
@riverlandphotos Haha -- I was trying to figure out what a wimple world meant til I saw the next comment! I figured it was an important word from the photography field!
October 8th, 2013  
Great capture- isn't it fun when you see something that's right in front of you that you've never seen before?
October 8th, 2013  
Very cool shot! So well seen!
October 8th, 2013
