Spring may be a date on a calendar for some but in the Historic District of Hot Springs, Arkansas it announces its arrival with the blossoming of the cherry trees.   A swath of pink from Nature cutting through the concrete and brick darkened by the storms of winter.

Shimmering dancing drops of water

I walked to the post office mid month only to discover they open half an hour later.  Already a southern hot morning with 97% humidity I began to seek a cool space.  Across the street I spotted a beautiful site… water.   The light breeze meant I could stand in the gentle mist.  Sunlight on the drops gave them form and ignited their dance.  Drops hung mid air transforming in the breeze.   Lightly rising up to descend in thundering strength.

Love to ALL!

I love hiking in the snow especially in the early morning. The light is glorious as the rising sun changes the color of the sky.  Glittering crystals of white paint the landscape transforming the HSNP picnic area into a fantasy world.

Color and Pop can occur naturally, be man made and or digitally enhanced by the photographer.

Nature can create pop using a Tree over several seasons, with a single Wildflower or a single Leaf.

A person can paint a door green and red for contrast against a white facade.

The background can be darkened with light placement to make an object radiant as if lit from within.

Or we can remove all but one color in a photograph to create a dramatic focal point.

The art of pop with color is limitless.  Subject, lens filters, lighting,  aperture adjustments, focal points, software enhancements etc. are all part of a photographers toolbox.  Do not be afraid to experiment and make each photo a unique artistic foil for your creative mind.  There is no right or wrong.

Be Bold!
