Day 57 Corner View: Contrast

I cannot think of anything to photograph to do with contrast today, although I've taken a lot of photos and posted this month with contrast:  brownie (hot) ice cream (cold), piano keys (black and white), thumbs (short and long).  So here's one that I took this week that I didn't really think of as a contrast photo until I switched it to black and white--and now it definitely works.  The sun was just right for capturing the shadows.  Not great for portraits, but for this it did the trick. 

And now I'm going to head over to Dana's place to check out other corner views.  She has been our kind and gracious temporary hostess while Jane has been away.  Why not come along, and we'll take a look-see together.  Yes?  Good!  Meet you there!

Panning

Panning is one of those things that kind of stresses me out a bit, since it's sort of a "trial and error" type of thing.  But the other day I thought I'd practice a bit with my daughter at the playground.  After many, many not so good ones, I finally managed this one.  The composition stinks, but at least she's somewhat in focus!
