Orange

Almost ran out of ideas today but then decided to investigate the colour orange. I do love trying new things but some photographic challenges are far too much for my camera!

Three good things;
1. Watered the raspberry plant which has tons of flowers on it.
2. John just loves playing 'Clash of the Clans"!
3. Sitting in the sun with a good book - stop feeling guilty, Margaret!

@summerfield No, Vikki - its a paper weight. I'm not that good!

[Lisa]

cool shot, love the 3 good things, having now googled Clash of the Clans

[Jerri]

nice reflection or refraction? great idea on simply investigating different color explorations!

[Tony]

Clever concept and great execution. Also huge THANKS for following me during my travels.

[Maggiemae]

@tonydebont thanks, Tony - I,always love travel,stories!

[Leana Niemand]

Stunning shot Maggie!!!

[Andrea]

What's the good book? I'm going to try The Luminaries on ebook. Downloaded a sample of 65 pages so will see if it's my sort of book.

[Maggiemae]

@andreajoy I would be very interested in your opinion knowing it won that prestigious prize! My book is "Rachel's Secret" by Susan Sallis - about the repercussions of WW2.

I'm running out of ideas, too. It's fun to experiment and I love what you've done here! Awesome.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Nicely done. Great idea to use the paperweight with its integral orange splash xx

[Bev]

Very cool shot! I like the upside down look. Very creative!

[Pam Knowler]

Lovely shot - I love the way you have used the paperweight!! Nice pop of orange!!

[Gillian]

Love the effect of the paperweight! I have a small one but haven't been able to get any nice shots through it yet.

[Yvonne]

Such a great effect, Maggiemae. Never feel guilty about pausing to relax and read a book!!!!

[Stephanie Swift]

Love the way you used the paperweight. The reflections are wonderful, and even better viewed large!

[Terry]

nice idea, and well shot

[Taffy]

Very cool shot -- how did you do it?? It's impressive to see the reflection in the droplet/bubble.

[Maggiemae]

@taffy Its a glass paper weight so I just put it at the right height - it was on my tripod and took a photo then cropped it to the size of the paperweight. It means bobbing up and down a bit to get the right reflection.

[Taffy]

@maggiemae Thanks for sharing that info -- it really does look great.

[Hazel]

Cool shot! Sitting in the sun - ahhhh. Flowers on the raspberry plant - ohhhhh. It's been grey and rainy all day here.

[Harry J Benson]

neat presentation, like it

[Rohini Gupta]

Great shot, good idea. Do show us the raspberry flowers - don't have raspberries here.
