I am back to my Amsterdam posts as you can see from
this first shot. One member of our group
challenged myself and the other
photographer to come up with the best photographs to illustrate the letters in the word AMSTERDAM. Now below are some of my images for the
letter. We were allowed to take as many
images of the letter as we wanted and later would decide of our best and then
ask the non photographers to pick out of all the images the VERY best to make the word. It may be weeks before this is achieved as I
am still wading through my 2,000 shots!!
This is an enormous word in the middle of an area near the Rijks Museum and the first time I saw it, I never noticed that I
was standing being photographed on the ‘wrong’ side of the letters!! As it turned out, the right side was straight
into the sun and hopeless for photographs so we have the letter M and I ask you
what better illustration for M is there than to have ME in it - Margaret!
Today, we walked round Amsterdam, we saw a lot of sculptures
which I am showing you today. This is a
clock made by S – Salvador Dali
These beautiful sculptures were inside a small very
expensive gallery and were position singly but as you can see I have edited
them and made a collage with 2 different coloured backgrounds. Whichever one I eventually pick will
illustrate the letter D – dress.
Now can
you let me know if you prefer the black background or the white one? I would value your opinion and help.
M -
Mask
S –
Smiling Skull
I
cannot finish an Amsterdam post without Tulips, now can I?
I am linking with THROUGH MY LENS.
When we get this challenage project finished and judged, I will let you know the result.
Many thanks for joining me today and thanks for all your comments.
Wonderful pictures, and I am so much enjoying the sculptures! Surely you will win this contest! So what is the prize? You look so cute in front of the M!!! And I do like this Dali clock and the explanation!
ReplyDeleteNo prize Ginny, only a bit of fun. You did not tell me what background you preferred with the collages?
DeleteThat clock could only be a Dali.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the black background - I think the contrast is more effective.
Nice to see you enjoying yourself.
ReplyDeleteMargaret i love that shot of you in from of the M... so cute! Also love that clock by Salvadore Dali! Such fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely set of imaginative images Margaret. I prefer the black background too for the same reason (contrast).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sculptures and I always love garden shots
ReplyDeleteWonderful sculptures. I like the letter M with you standing in front of it. I think I preferred the black background. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteFine looking sculptures. While I have not seen the other entries, I think your letter M is a winner, especially with you in the picture.
ReplyDeleteQuite a range of sculptures which i enjoyed seeing. If I had to choose it would be the black background.
ReplyDeleteLove the Dali--- I recognized his work immediately. And whoever captured the essence of the bozo with the tiny hands, etc, is a genius! The sooner he stops embarrassing us sooner I will sleep better at night. And you look fine in front of the M. Oh yes--- Black is cool. But its surprising what can work.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and unique photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat subjects for photography. You must have had RSI of your shutter - release finger by the end of the day!
ReplyDeleteSuch fabulous works of art! Wonderful post, even with its backwards "m". :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautoful images from your trip. Love the back shot of the I am(sterdam) sign. Thanks for linking up with "Through My Lens"
