LJSO Entry 4?

[aggienaut]

   With the usual technical difficulties.. I wasn't able to upload this week's batch of pictures to flickr, so the first one is going to be linked from where it exists on facebag:

(1) Rule of Thirds


Bridge of the Wishkah River (translates from local native american as "stench of death river")
Aberdeen, WA

Taken the other day, saturation and contrast and things probably fiddled with.


(2) A Picture That Has Nothing At All to Do With the Rule of Thirds


In the middle of a sail the captain urgently called me, specifically, up to the quarterdeck from the foredeck. I ran back and reported smartly, wondering what it could all be about, he pointed in his coffee mug and handed it to me... and there was this bumblebee having a bit more coffee than it intended. I pulled her out and nursed her back to health. We named her Barbecue Sauce.

July 17th, 2010
Probably contrast and/or saturation and or the usual shenanigans.

That second picture totally has to do with the rule of thirds :-P Look at how the thorax and head of the bee compositionally divides the picture.

Hrmph. Ah well, that's what happens when one tries to rustle up a picture as fast as one can with equipment that has half a dozen major dysfunctions d:

Oh my gosh that picture of the bee is amazing!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Thanks (:

I love that picture of the bee. Is that right after you pulled her out of her bath? I can see that the fur on her back is wet.

I'm always amazed at how you can charm bees. Doesn't make me any less afraid of them. I'm partial to spiders.

Yeah she's fresh from a mug of coffee in that picture, totally soaked!

What a brilliant name for a river!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Soo fitting. It seems in all its history Aberdeen has always been a dismal dismal place

The photograph of the bee is amazing; I hope she recovered well.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

She did and flew off into the sunset (:

Beautiful, love the colors and the bee, tho it makes me shiver, ... I wish I could take shots like that, you really captured her exasperation!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Shiver because she looks so cold and wet? Don't worry I think it was a warm day (:

I take cheapshots at bumblebees when they are busy in the flowers. They usually concern themselves with inconspicuous flowers that nobody gives a shit about but other bees. They kick their back legs at me like a cows tail swatting at a fly. Like, "Not now, busy, go way." and I'm like, "Well, that's what you get for being a bee.". They usually don't have a clever answer for this.

I shiver for 2 reasons, I'm allergic to bees and wasps therefore adraid as she looks so sharp she could fly off the page. The second is I shiver because of the detail, I feel for what she's gone through. You've shot an emotion.

Aw thanks! (:
