Day 6 of the 30 Day Challenge

Gonna change this up a little. I made some postcards at using RentAPress. I used iPhone photos that folks had said they liked off my Facebook or Instagram. They were cheap to buy with no charge for shipping at the time and so… here we go! I didn’t make enough of these to send one to everyone on my list, but, if you’re on my list, or want to be, drop me a line and I’ll send one to you!

This was in camera and I did it at Brecknock Park in Camden, Delaware. It was near sunset time while I was walking for steps and I loved how the light was cutting along the bridge. The flare was not added in post.

I love Blackeyed Susans and was happy to see this one spotlighted in a narrow beam of sunlight. There’s nothing added in post to this.

This was down at Cape Henlopen State park with some friends from Germany and this sunset popped into place for just a few minutes. Within 5 minutes after this, the sky was a uniform boring grey.

This boat is a very popular subject for Delaware photographers. I was out shooting last weekend and found that someone had spray painted some rude graffiti right near the front of the boat. I’m not surprised, just disappointed. Anyways, I loved the light on the boat and the cool clouds in the background.

Here we go! Still in Mississippi! Black and white or color? I think fire hydrants are cool. Every city does theirs different colors, and they all have different designs. I “know” there’s a photo there when I see them, but I don’t often get something I like. I think I did ok with these though.

I tried to be intentional with the shadows, and hoped to catch the silverynessosity of the body of the hydrant.
Same town, different hydrant! Again, I was watching the shadows, as seen with this on exiting through the bottom right corner

Elvis from Jailhouse Rock on the wall in Tupleo Mississippi
Just down the street from Tupelo Hardware is this mural of Elvis in his movie Jailhouse Rock. There are murals and wall art like this in many places in the Delta!

While in Tupelo, I had to try for a fun Holga photo of the Elvis mural. This kind of wall art is all over down south! This particular mural is maybe 15-20 feet tall? Something like that. It’s a block away from the Tupelo Hardware store that more or less looks the same as it did when Elvis got his first guitar there at 12 or 13 as I recall the story. Tupelo has Elvis stuff all over. Lots of guitars painted and displayed all around town. Other murals too.
