in Photography, Show Me... Project

Today, Mr. Robert wants us to show him something that is relaxing.

I thought about photographing a big pile of books or posting a shot from my trip to Stone Mountain to hike earlier in the week.

Then I noticed this while walking down the hall at work.

Our refurbished office has a brand spanking new flag pole.

I LOVE watching flags flutter in the breeze. I also love photographing flags. I do find it relaxing… except if I’m trying to photograph it fluttering and there’s no wind. That’s happened… no fun…

Yesterday the flag was at half-staff for Patriot Day.

Tomorrow I’m supposed to show myself… a self-portrait.

I remember sitting at a Sears store not long ago waiting for the clouds to be in the right place, the wind to blow at the right time - as you say it isn’t always easy.
That middle image shows your patience and you were certainly rewarded - a great capture.

Wow ! I never thought about that ! and in any case it would be very difficult here, because except on the royal palace I wouldn’t know where to find a flag !

I agree, it’s very relaxing to watch a flag gently blowing with the breeze. Beautiful photos!

These are wonderful. In my classroom I’m sure to do the flag salute each morning. We talked about why the flag was flown at half staff. I want to build a love of country for them. It’s great coming here and seeing these images.
