Looking Out a Window is the theme of one of my personal photography
projects which I post here occasionally. This photograph captures a different
mood than others I shot.
In this case, the reflection
of the lamp and bird ornament pre-empted the outdoor scene. As I moved to take
the photo, I saw the foliage from a palmetto leaf in the porch area outside the
window frame the bird ornament. I admired the lamps and ornaments earlier,
never thinking that the change from day to night would change my perception of
them so completely.
One tip on taking
photographs of this type: Look carefully at the entire scene and everything in
the frame. As I shot the first time, a couple wearing black and white plaid jackets had descended the stairs behind
me and stopped at the bottom of the stairs. As I prepared my second shot, I
clearly saw a blurry plaid white and black reflection in the bottom right of my frame. I
wandered around a bit until they moved off, then did the shot again.
