A 'lil HooHaa

Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Which photo do you prefer?

January 30, 2012

A late post today, I know.

Alas, I’ve had a busy day. I had a forum on job hunting today, ran extra errands, actually found a geocache and figured out what the rattle is in my car (and that it will cost me $100 to fix).

When I got home, I was a bit blocked when it came to coming up with an idea for a post.

So, I’m going to do something I could have held for Foto Friday, but I’m interested in some opinions.

I went out for a photo day yesterday and got a bunch of photos that I really liked. Being I’m doing the 366 Project this year, I’m always looking for something to be able to use. I went to a friend’s place where there’s an amazing set of small waterfalls. The water was flowing. There was a little bit of ice and it was a nice setting.

Alas, the lighting at the top of the falls was odd and I didn’t have a remote for the camera.

But, I took a bunch of shots. When I sat down to look at them all, I had a very hard time deciding which to use and which not to use. Below are the three I considered, in order of how I rated them. The third one was eliminated first and then I waffled on the other two. The final choice came down to two things — I really loved the look of the first one and the second one I wanted to have look better and knowing I could go back to it at some point to get a better shot.

So here’s the three I had to choose from. What do you think? Did I make the right choice? What’s your favorite image of the three and why? Post your thoughts in the comment section!

No. 1

No. 2.

No. 3.

      I, too, am a waterfall addict. But that’s probably why I didn’t choose it. I want to show it in a better light as my “photo of the day!”

    As an amateur, I’m going with the standard….the waterfall. Calm and beautiful to look at. But the Folgers can is a very close second. I love how it’s elevated to an art form and also how it blends in so harmoniously with nature (an unexpected surprise for litter).

      That’s why it was a tough call in regard to which one to pick. I liked both. I just think I can get a better shot of those falls. Or, at least, hope I can! And agreed on the can. But it’s not so much litter as it’s on their property. I think it was BB gun target practice and other things over time! 🙂

    The waterfall photo is beautiful – but I think I might have plumped for the top one too – I love rusty old things, especially in a natural setting.

      That I fully agree with. Rusty old things in a natural or rural setting really do capture the eye!

    In order of liking…

    Waterfall- I like the motion blur in the falls and how the waterfall cuts down the photo.

    Can – I think I would have liked the can if it where full past the brim of pine cones and maybe a vertical picture. I LOVE old rusty things though, gives the photo a lot of character.

    Ball – very bight!

      It was tough for me not to go with the waterfall one and I knew most people would select it as their top pick. But I’m such a perfectionist with waterfalls that I think I can get it way better with a remote and better lighting! 😀

      (I wish the can had more pinecones, too, but didn’t want to add to it and take away from it’s natural setting!)

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
