- blue-orange
- purple-yellow
- red-green
I had all sorts of plans to tie up blue and orange scarves artistically, but I couldn't find a model and didn't feel like doing it as a selfie, to get the extra credit of a fashion shoot.
needs cropping |
Thursday night, since I was off to see the Big Blue Jerusalem Lions play the Jerusalem Kings, who have a purple and yellow uniform, I was hoping to get a good shot of that.
But as us can see, they came out blurry. |
Since on my way to the game I went through the shuq/shuk Machane Yehuda where I took lots of red/green and purple/yellow photos.
Of course, only some of them are cropped here. They would have changed a bit if they had been. I also found that my camera didn't always do justice to the purples. I had to turn off the flash so the purple flower looked its color.
On Friday, I still wasn't sure what I would do, especially when I photographed this gorgeous "kalanit," poppy.
In the end, after lots of cropping and thinking and then ignoring them for a bit, late Saturday night, just before I went to bed, I turned the computer on yet again and chose this very cropped strawberry:
I hope I chose correctly. What do you think?
I think I would have chosen the flowers. the strawberry is nice, but flowers are prettier. :)
ReplyDeletealso, just a note - a kalanit is not a poppy. there are two similar red flowers that bloom in the spring in Israel: wild poppies (parag) and anemones (kalaniyot). the poppy has 4 thin petals; the anemone has 6 petals, and they are thicker than the petals of the poppy. a lot of people confuse them because they look so similar!
Leah, thanks. My flora knowledge is awful.
