Day 12 of 30 Days of Photographs III. Soon we'll be halfway through... Any day now...

You know what to do, the linky thing can be found at the bottom of the page.

Five

Five red ones. Five pink ones. I really shouldn't have to explain this to you.

    So let me get this straight: You were so desperate to get an interesting Five photo for today that you bought five pink buoys and five red buoys, rented a boat, drove out into Finland Bay -- or whatever -- and carefully positioned them in an artistic line that would make for a quirky and interesting photograph? It's just a challenge not a competition, Ziva, remember? You don't have to humiliate the rest of us with every photograph.

    No, you idiot. I planned this prompt years ago, bought five red buoys, left them in the sea to make them look old and worn and lose their vibrant red color, then as the time came for the prompt, I bought five new buoys that were red and pretty, rented a boat, drove out into the Archipelago Sea, carefully positioned them in an artistic line that would make for a quirky and interesting photograph, drove back to shore to see if it worked, went back again to re-arranged the buoys a little, drove back once more and took the perfect Five photo.

    Obviously.

    Jeez. It’s not like it’s rocket science.

    Very nice, especially since this has been in the making for years. I planned mine about 5 minutes before I snapped the shutter.

    If you repositioned them, then I'm sorry to add that I think the 5th pink one needs to go a tad to the left.

    I wonder if you found 5 each luckily or used your photo technique to have them 5 each. :)

    Yes, you should always explain. I was already thinking "Huh?" :)

  16. ZivaOctober 12, 2012 at 6:40 PM

    I know! I got very lucky. Also, had to do some creative cropping, but let's pretend that was my intention all along. ;)

    Don't worry about it, Tami, no one else does either. We all just pretend. ;)

    Thanks, Barb! I really do consider myself lucky, I could never be entirely happy not living near the sea. :)

    You're not missing anything, Reffie, there really isn't anything to explain. Except maybe the reindeers.

    You're right my friend, Atara: You of all people could never be far from the sea.

    And I miss the sea terribly. The nearest ocean is nearly a thousand miles from where I live. It isn't right.

    I find it hilarious how no one got this at all. If they only did a little research, they'd know that this is the playing field for "Water Pesäpallo"

    I wish I lived near water... sigh. But on a happy note, red and pink are two of my favorite colors!

    Gorgeous shot, Ziva. That must be such a beautiful sight from shore. I hope you didn't get too awful cold creating this arrangement.

    No, it's not. You really ought to do something about that.

    Phew! Forgot how much hair you have. Dear gawd, you could've drowned out there. Next time, do something simple, please?

    Lovely shot! Looks like a painting.

    I'm taking a couple days off from the prompt but will stop by to see your works of art.

    And had they dug deeper, he would have discovered my great uncle Turko Roth anchored the "Big Lung" position in three Olympiads.
