I took this image on Tuesday, October 2nd on Roosevelt Island (where I do happen to live). It was a rainy day--those are becoming more common lately. I welcome the rain because this summer was ridiculously hot. Seriously, I thought my face was going to melt off.
This photo is of my niece jumping over a puddle. To me, it looks a bit as if she's levitating. This image is supposed to make the audience feel...displaced. I hope the reader will be interested while looking at this picture. I hope the reader will feel a sort of blending of the "supernatural" and the natural world. If you see a cross-dressing pirate, that's ok too.
I shot this at the fastest shutter speed I could so that I would be able to capture the image. We failed multiple times but we were both too determined to give up. So she jumped...and I got splashed one too many times -_-
If I could add one more thing to this image it would be another person looking up, surprised. Besides that, I actually am a bit happy I took this photo even though my camera got wet. I suffer for you, readers of the awesome Blogging Baruch.

Being a photography junkie myself, I find myself being able to appreciate the beauty of this photo. I truly really really like it. It's like something off google! The composition and the colors go so well together. Props to you! (: But personally, I wouldn't dare take out my camera in the rain. What camera did you use for this photo?
ReplyDeleteI was really scared actually but I ignored it and just brought it with me :) I have a Canon EOS 1100D and thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis picture is really great, I also felt like it was from google. Do you aspire to be a photographer when your older?
ReplyDeleteI would love to see some more of your work! Please keep submitting!
ReplyDeleteJust a little heads up, to the ones submitting photos, Ms. Perez will be distributing a new photo consent form specifically for Blogging Baruch. We can't post any more photos until those have been handed out & signed!
ReplyDeleteI personally own a D1500, mid range dslr but it's good enough for me! Sorry, I'm a nikon for life ahaha.
