Oranges

It has been winter here for too long. When Elaine asked me to accompany her to the grocery store for milk and bread this morning I said "Great, it will give me an opportunity to see some green". I was thinking of the lettuce, beans, spinach and such. We have no other green here in Buffalo right now. It turned out, I liked the brilliance of the oranges, thus my PaD.

You know the grocery store is a great place to take photgraphs only I had three employees question me as to why I was taking pictures. "Is something wrong?" was their question.

Olympus D-580Z
1/30s f/3.1 at 5.8mm iso68 full exif

This is great. I'm amused by people's attitude to taking pics of things they wouldn't expect - this often says a lot about them.

Beautiful orange and I love the swirls!

Oh nice work there - the orange is beautiful! Good story, too. They probably were thinking there was a lawsuit on the way. I think the impression made by a photographer-in-public has changed - people assume there's a hidden agenda.

Try taking pictures in a mall. I totally ignored the fact that mall security would run after me.. haha.

This is great! Fun editing :o)

Nice one, Don. I like your treatment of it.

Nice pic. It says something about our times when people assume that there's something wrong if we take photos.

Love the background treatment, Don. Surely winter must end for you soon. Perhaps you could print out a couple of fruit & vegie shots for them to hang on their wall, then they may call you each time they get in a box of something photographable :>)

Maybe they were afraid you were spying for the competition. Nice PS work on the oranges.
