I love both pictures, but the first one has a special effect with the raindrops on the window ๐ Well done, Jane!
Warm regards, Heidi
Thanks so much, Heidi. That was a great week of contrasting compositions. ๐
Isn’t it amazing how a “simple” man-made artifact can produce such fantastic visions?
Thank you again Jane
Hi E– Yes! It is rewarding to find the extraordinary in the every day. So glad you like these, it was a good week looking out my windows. ๐ Thanks very much.
My pleasure Jane. You have a very nice view out your windows… ๐
Have a nice week.
Wow, those rain drops became art!
Hi Jane! The first lovely photo reminds me of an image from awhile back I believe you captured with a cellphone while driving on the bridge in the rain – which always sticks in my mind as a fav.
The two major colors adjacent to each other on the second are stunning – The artsy โcolor wheelโ is smiling … ! (While the food pyramid may have changed, the ole art class color wheel will prob safely remain ๐
Thank you, Diane! And for remembering my bridge and rain image. So nice. These two were a perfect contrast of weather in a week. I’m so glad your color theory came back with the second. ๐ It works!
These images are gorgeous, Jane.
Thank you, Ronja. Iโm so glad you like them.
So very beautiful!
Thanks so much, Fiona.
Wow, just… wow! The second image is great! But the first one, the droplets on fire… wow, thatโs an amazing picture! Glad Iโve found your website ๐
Hi Bjorn, How nice! Thank you so much– those two contrasting images made for a great week of photography. Glad you like them and I appreciate you stopping by and thank you for following me! ๐
So serene
Thank you, Pauline. These were two recent contrasting favorites. Glad you enjoyed.
This is beautiful! Makes me miss California…
Stunning Jane!
Thanks so much, Nicole. ๐
Droplets on the window pane at sunset, seriously beautiful, Jane. ๐
Thanks so much, David. That means a lot. ๐
I know it’s wordless, but what am I looking at outside of your window?
Hi Lisa, This is a sunset over the hills of the Presidio with the Golden Gate on the right. Got you thinking… ๐
Just beautiful, Jane.
I love the way rain changes the look of things in such a wonderful way.
Thank you, Lisa. I really enjoyed the abstract “reality” in that image. Glad you enjoyed it.
Glorious sunset through the raindrops. Beautiful sky after the day is done. Well done, Jane!
Hi Amy, How nice to read! Thank you for your kind thoughts.
Gee, I think it’s rain AND shine, and they’re brought together beautifully in that first photo Jane. And I like the way the boat’s wake echoes the bridge cable lines. Happy weekend to you!
Thank you, Lynn. You’re right, it’s both in the first. ๐ Happy you enjoyed and I love your comparison in the second. You have all the angles. ๐ Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I really love the picture with all the droplets.
Amazing work.
Thank you, Rabirius. That means a lot coming from you. It really was an exciting moment of discovery.
The colors are awesome. The technique and framing in the first picture is even more remarkable.
Thanks very much, Kuriacose. I make many photographs from my window, but this moment is a favorite one of “seeing”. Glad you enjoyed.
Wonderful photos Jane, the colour and texture in the first shot is particularly striking!
Thanks, Belinda. The light and rain was a particularly exciting “aha” moment. So glad you like them.
Thanks (again) for the reminders of why I fell in love with The City and the Bridge! You do manage to distill the essence of the charm and beauty of the great city by the bay.
Thanks so much, Gunta. I’m happy that my shots bring back good feelings of our gorgeous city.
Love your rain shot Jane – wonderfully creative and the colors are perfect. Your muse should be proud of herself ๐
Thanks so much, T. The light was amazing. Glad you like it. ๐
That first one is so delicious!
Thank, Herbert! Means a lot coming from you. ๐
This photography always fascinates me and leads me to places that my imaginary creates. thank you so much.
You are very kind, Fernando. I’m pleased you like them– thanks very much.
Always beautiful and striking. A perfect pair.
Thanks very much, Ann-Christine. The GG shines in all kinds of weather. ๐
Striking duo.
Thank you, Paula. I was happy to have contrasting weather days this week. Happy you enjoyed them.
When I look at your awesome images and skip the titles I see a sunrise after a heavy rain in the night and a fisherman who is leaving SF heading towards the ocean (even if it is the wrong direction). Wonderful examples of storytelling images, Jane. The focus in #1 is spot on the rain drops and the color flow from warm to cold in #2 is excellent. You were at the right place, at the right time. Happy days. Reinhold
Hi Reinhold, It means so much to read your analysis. The one thing we share is knowing that words aren’t always needed to tell a story. I like to let the viewer come to his or her own conclusion without doing the describing for them and you have done that so beautifully. Thank you very much and I hope you have a wonderful weekend creating images. ๐
And a beautiful story at that!
Thanks, Amy. Wonderful bookends to a dramatic weather week. ๐
Super images, love ’em. Brian
Thanks, Brian. Happy you enjoyed them. ๐
Always there and always beautiful ๐ ๐ Have a great weekend, Jane.
Thank you, Jo. Happy you like them. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, too. ๐
really gorgeous shots…sunset after the rain is quite spectacular….love the details….great eye!!
Thanks very much, April. Happy you like them!
Very beautiful images, Jane, the first one is an aw-moment
Thanks so much, Cornelia. I’m so glad you like these– it was a good week of contrasting weather conditions! ๐
Always welcome Dear, as we are waiting here for the promised rain, the heavy clouds are looking promising for rain.
That opening photo takes me right back to my highschool days, lying on my bed in my parents’ house, in awe through the drops on the window at the might of an African thunderstorm, and without a care in the world…
Hi Dries, What a lovely memory and it means a lot that the image brought them back. Days when there wasn’t a care in the world…ah, youth. Thank you for your great response.
These photos are so beautiful! Well done!
Thanks very much, View Life. I’m pleased you enjoyed them!
Two very beautiful photographs, Jane!
Thank you so much, Marcus. I really appreciate it.
Jane, These are just outstanding!! You should be so proud with where you have gone with your photography.
Hi Kathy, You are so kind to let me know. Thank you very much. Hope all is well with you.
That is such an incredibly beautiful picture of the bridge! I also love the rain spotted window shot.
Thanks so much, ML. She shines in any kind of weather. Glad you enjoyed.
wonderful storys jane.
greetings robert
Thanks so much, Robert. I hope it conveyed the visually dramatic week we had.
What a delightful combination.
Thank you, Tim. Bookends on a great week of dramatic skies.
We’ve been fortunate with the clouds. I’m seeing more than I can remember having.
Very nice work Jane! You always manage to find a special way of approaching a theme. You’re a great artist.
Thank you very much, Maria. That is wonderful to read and much appreciated.
Tank you !
As beautiful as the photo of the bridge is, I am blown away by the first photo of the sunset through the raindrops. I cannot remember seeing anything like it before now. Outstanding work, Jane. Wow.
ฮฉ
Hi Allan, That means a lot, thank you so much. It was a moment of “seeing” that was very exciting and even more so that the result was what I envisioned. Really pleased you like it.
It’s unforgettable, Jane.
ฮฉ
you nailed it again!
Thanks, Bruce! ๐
Jane, Long time no see or speak………………still in Charleston and still selling real estate.
I think you are a master of composition. I love cleaness of the shots and lighting as well. I would think you could sell many of these photos for commercial purposes…….even if you have no desire to do so. I love the feel of these recent photos……they seem to be down to the essence of the beauty that is in front of you.
I really, really like what you have shown in the group. Love to hear where all you and Bob have traveled recently…………..I am envious.
Best
Casey
Casey, How nice to hear from you! Very pleased that you still follow my work, thanks so much. I will send you an email to catch up. Hope all is well with you!
Your photography is really wonderful, Jane. ๐
Thank you very much, Wanderessence. ๐
You’re welcome, Jane. ~Cathy~
