This week we partnered in the Team-Up Thursday project, the theme being "Water". I took hundreds of photos of waves and surfers in San Francisco Bay, trying to keep the Golden Gate Bridge in the composition somewhere. I thought I'd need something iconic to make me look good.
But in the end, I liked this one for its simplicity.

Tammy is located on the opposite side of the continent in Florida and I was sure she was going to come up with something stunning for me to measure up to. She doesn't disappoint. Here is her gorgeous photo - just look at those clouds!

Because we are bi-coastal, we thought we'd do a little extra photo showing us dipping our toes across the continent from one another - from the Atlantic to the Pacific! Here's mine, and yes the water was freezing.

ReplyDeleteWater always lifts my spirit ...I love both your compositions!
ReplyDeletewater, water, the balm for our tired bodies and spirits.
ReplyDeletelove the curves in your beach shot.
no doubt your sister will have a few water shots in a few days.
Welcome summer.
Loves the angle of the shot and you can almost grab the bubbles in the surf! Beautiful! Love the Florida shot as well I miss Florida!
ReplyDeleteI like your foot shot better. :) Very good collaboration!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I follow Tammy's blog, so found yours. I'm also in the S.F. Bay Area - live just north of Half Moon Bay and love your pictures.

They're all lovely shots. I love yours with the tennis ball and the bubbles and ripples in the water. The other with the boat is a classic--very nicely done--the team thing is a cool idea.
ReplyDeletelove the third photo!
ReplyDeleteWhen you described making all of your photos of waves and surfers and ending with an image so different from your initial intention, I was right there with you. This happens to me so often. I kind of like it.
ReplyDeleteOpting for simplicity worked, the title too.
Thanks all!
ReplyDeleteRinda, I saw your comment on Tammy's blog too... you may have it figured out already, but both my photos were taken on the beach at Crissy Field. Thanks for stopping by...
How the hell did you take the foot shot?
ReplyDelete@Scottish Lass: very carefully, given that the waves kept trying to wash right over my camera. Let's just say I needed my chiropractor when I was done.
ReplyDeletewelcome to Team-Up -- glad to have you two on board! love these two shots together. especially love the well-loved tennis ball, obviously the dog's favorite toy:). i know how cold that pacific can be...it's even frostier up the coast here in oregon:).
