This week it seemed like two of the photography-themed challenges I participate in overlapped. The first was “illumination” at WordPress, and the second is this week’s theme of “glass” at Where’s My backpack?
The photos I posted for the illumination theme, I could have posted for this glass theme as well because they were glass and I had travelled to see them. If you would like to take a quick look at that post, it is here. Instead I picked this one for the glass theme:
ISO 500 50mm 0ev f/7.1 1/13
I chose this one because it is the memory of traveling preserved in glass. The actual shells are on display at a friend’s house. I was over when she had this project spread out on her table. Photography is one way to remember your travels, but this is another.
As for the picture, I converted it to sepia on a whim while I was editing it, and this was the version that I liked best.
Cheers!

Thank you, I think part of the reason that I liked the sepia version better was that it just convey the idea of beach better.

It ‘s not only a memory of your journey, it also captures perfectly the story of glass…
Shells erodes to sand, sand melts to glass. Lovely.

Thanks, the color version just had too much going on. The sepia was better for what I was trying to say in this photo.
