On the Dock
Although nature photography is probably my favorite sometimes I see ordinary objects sitting in a particular way and have to take a picture. Rarely do I move objects to compose a picture because I think things in the world are amazing just the way they are- you just have to look at them the right way. I was laying on my family’s old dock at our lake place in the sun and looked over at my flip flops and had to run back to the beach to get my camera for a picture :) I did take what color there was in the dock out in photoshop to focus the eye more on the old blue flip flops.

You take nice crisp shots Michelle, good work!
Barbara Sparhawk
Nice, happy shot. Been places, places to go. I like that they’re pointed forward, apparently the way you left them from what you wrote; ready to leap ahead.
Karen Martin IPA

They look like the shoes that evryone borrows to run out to the beach. I love this shot….
Franklin Lindsey
Between these flip flops and that 7 up can you made so good looking, just goes to show if you tweak the speed and aperture the right way, you can make even simple objects look great.
Very surprising job!
Danielle Farley
too cool, great shot
mariarty
I agree about not arranging objects. I love this.

There I was thinking that thongs were uniquely Australian! I’ve learnt something: flip flops.
When Dutch people come out here (down under) they call them slippers and I go through the routine of explaining that slippers , here, are not worn to the beach.
Very much captures ‘the beach’!

cool pic
jegustavsen
I love this b/c exactly what you said, it’s a “true” picture, nothing moved. I am not a photographer, but when I do want to capture something by taking a photo it is how I found it.

Nice composition. Great job.
Diana F. Sá
I agree with you, nature can give us the best of the photos but ordinary objects have that special something….eheh
You look something ordinary in a moment and you just think “that’s simply beautiful”...I like that moments we look and see, really see. Loved your flipflops by the dock :)

i love this, it’s such a “local” kind of shot. no one wears shoes in the house here, and everyone wears slippers, i could have sworn this was taken here in the islands, i love it.
