Day Three: “Water” — Image Orientation

In the Caribbean. The water is beautiful.

We all have stories about water: how it has saved or defeated us. How it reminds us of family vacations, outdoor adventures, or the hot summers of our childhood. How it symbolizes a place we’ve left behind, or one we dream of visiting.

How will you interpret today’s theme?

Today’s Tip: Ever wonder whether a photograph will work better horizontally or vertically? After you snap your picture, rotate your camera and take a shot from the other orientation — horizontally if you first took the picture vertically, and vice versa. Which way works better?

Visit the resource page for more on image orientation. Remember to tag your post with #developingyoureye and check the Reader to see posts from fellow course participants!

Weekly Photo Challenge – Dance

There’s rhythm and motion all around us — this week, let’s capture some of it in a photo.

Dance. As the boat moves across the water.

“Her happiness floated like waves of ocean along the coast of her life. She found lyrics of her life in his arms but she never sung her song.”

World Oceans Day

Since 2009, people around the world have celebrated World Oceans Day. The United Nations General Assembly took the concept, first proposed in 1992 and made it official on 5 December 2008. Since then, the event has grown and spread as the realization of the ocean’s importance to humanity has increased.

We have come to learn that oceans drive global systems that make it possible to live on this earth. So much of what we take for granted – oxygen, rainfall, much of our food – is dependent on the health of the ocean.

As understanding grows it is apparent that management of this global resource is of prime importance.
