Weekly Photo Challenge: Object

Kongo

This week’s photo challenge is object where we are asked to focus on a single object for our subject and to make it clear what our focus was.  Kongo’s choice for this challenge is the clock at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris taken at night from a boat cruising the Seine.  Using a fast setting I was able to suppress any reflections from the building and just focus on the clock itself, which is illuminated from inside.  See more objects at the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge.

Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Illuminated

Kongo

This week Ailsa chose illuminated as a travel theme.  That’s a great opportunity and Kongo had difficulty in figuring out which images in his library worked for this challenge.  He finally settled on these two that highlight his love of natural illumination.  In the first image a character in the Disneyland Parade has her headdress backlit by a setting sun.  In the second, illumination pours into Notre Dame in Paris.  See more illuminated images at Ailsa’s Where’s My Backpack? blog.
