This week I am asking you to walk in a town setting and look for interesting reflections, light, shadows, angles, points of view. Beginners think that you take pictures "of things"... That is "There is a building, sculpture, whatever" and just press the shutter button.... That's not good enough! You need to take a walk... slowly and look for new angles, light and design. Fill the frame, make an abstraction... find details.. be observant. There is nothing more boring than a picture of a whole building (That belongs in the real estate for sale classifieds) or a whole car... (ditto, car for sale).
Here are dome interesting images illustrating some possibilities, culled randomly from flickr.com...
1. Reflections in a window somewhere in Texas
2. Just a handle casting a shadow... Green is good...
3. What about a stroll on a warm night?
4. There are glass buildings in both New Haven and Hartford.... It's about the reflection and the design that relates the visual weight of the sky against the building... in balance....
The possibilities are endless... don't be lazy now... :-)

I love the second pic. It looks like a picture from a magazine. I like how the street lights paints the town shades of oranges, yellows, and reds. Keep up the good work!!!!
