My Project 365 shot took me back to the grocery store. This picture was actually an afterthought; I was walking past this display -- had actually passed it -- when the bright color caught my eye. I turned back and looked, and thought it might make an interesting picture. So I pulled the camera out, held it at waist level, and sneaked a quick picture before anybody saw me.
Agent 365, that's me.
Post processing: noise reduction, sharpening, horizon straightening, curves adjustment and border addition. I considered cropping out the cans that were turned the wrong way, but decided they added a kind of rebellious aspect.
As rebellious as sliced peaches can be, anyway.
Like it - a real peach. I hope you didn't blow your cover.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of peaches. But what a fun shot, and I can just picture you taking it.
ReplyDeleteTess -- Always an adventure, eh? Something about this one still strikes me.
ReplyDeleteAlan -- LOL! You're punny!
ReplyDeleteHeh! Glad I'm not the only one who feels a bit self-conscious taking pics at the grocery store. This one would surely make Andy Warhol proud!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but be self-conscious. Employees see you doing things like this and they look at you funny. Honestly, I think they might be concerned you're a secret shopper or something along those lines.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Andy Warhol compliment. You made me sit up just a little straighter with that one. :)
