I love Dahlia, their flowers and the smell of their foliage. I only have one variety, a “spider” dahlia, in my garden, but it is so lovely that I fall in love with it each year, and of course I take lots of photos.
However, I also like to edit my photos a little bit, and one of my favourite edits is simply to invert the photo, and guess what? My dahlia looks totally awesome inverted, like some tentacled maw about to swallow you up. What do you think?
Here are a few shots of paintings, mostly ones that that didn’t make it on their true colours or whole design, but cropped and inverted they shine … (there’s probably a lesson it that somewhere!)
Sometimes I just like to play and see what happens, and as it happened, I liked it.
I inverted this photo because I loved the patterns of the algae in the creek, but it was all brown – now it is lovely blue and much more lively. I still love the waving algae, and the reflected branches, and the sense of flow that it has.
It also feels like this past week, just a blur of movement and it was gone.
If you would like to participate with your own Emotography post, and I would be very happy if you wanted to, check out my post EPE Invitation where I explain what it all means, and tell you how.
Sometimes negatives can be pretty.
