a funny thing happened... by northy

a funny thing happened...

sooooooooooooo... this week i was challenged by @homeschoolmom to shoot something upbeat with lots of colour... since i had very little opportunity for photography today, and what i shot didn't seem particularly uplifting, i thought i would play around with the twirl thingy that everyone was trying out a couple weeks back...

let me start by saying that i am having a difficult time considering this an exercise in photography... i mean, it started with a photograph... but really, it could be anything... this started with a photo from a fish... but i got a pretty funky thing out of a quick shot of two contrasting colour t-shirts... and something else out of some bits of decorative gravel meant for plants... anyhow... this had the most colour in it, although i expect it would not be considered particularly uplifting ;p

in my other album i'm going to post a context shot to try to explain my lighting for the low key images i shoot...
I LOVE IT! Very colorful and it looks like a flower....FAV!

Very cool

Wonderfully colorful twirl. I agree, though. It doesn't feel much like photography though it is fun and interesting in its own right.

Ultra cool, colorful, twirl design...I see a cat's head/ears...or the center looks like a cat eye mask...lots of ways to interpret the design

@homeschoolmom baahaaaa!!!! ?? really? a flower? i thought it looked like a cat giving me the stinkeye ;p actually most of these sort of turned out looking like a grumpy face!
September 1st, 2015  
Hahaha! Looks like that, too. Or a mask!

I have been resisting the temptation, but this turned out well! It does kind of look like it has Grumpy Cat eyes. ;)

i see lisa's flower in the top half. crazy eyes!
September 1st, 2015  
I see both a face and a flower. Lovely colours and they pop out of the dark background.

Okay, my world is really turned upside down now. Northy does the twirly thing in color? I need my coffee.
September 1st, 2015  
Nice! I like the colors and the effect
September 1st, 2015  
Wow! Kudos to Lisa, too, to come up with this challenge!

Super twirling shot. I can see a cat too.
September 1st, 2015  
That is so pretty!

I agree that I wouldn't consider this very upbeat but the patterns and colours created here are quite wonderful I think.
September 1st, 2015
