Today, we’ll look at a simple subject, the colorful playhouse next to the beautiful inn where we stay outside Ronda in southern Spain’s Andalucia.
Arnie and I were both attracted to the scene, but we each treated it in a different way. Both of us photographed it a number of times during our stay.
When we first found it, it was in shadow, but the color still set it off against the background. True to form, Arnie did the whole building, showing its topsy-turvy cant against the subdued backdrop of mountains in the distance.
I loved the little door and gingerbread under the eaves, so I concentrated on that with the wheat fields drifting off into the distance.
Late the next afternoon, I returned to the scene, using the fleetingly interesting light on it to set it off against a backdrop of a large mountain that dwarfed it.
A few days later, Arnie revisited the little house and converted it into a black and white, featuring the sky as the background.
Same place again. Two of them are done from almost the same angle, but what different shots they are. It is a reminder to us to walk around, looking for different vantage points, seeking other backgrounds, using the light for effect.
We always enjoy comments.
