Decoys and Details

I rode with my husband out of town and took some pictures while he did what he had to do. This sheriff's car was strategically parked along I-10. My husband says there are a couple of different spots where they park the car.

The deputies were not too friendly when I stopped to take their photograph! I smudged out the name of the parish that does this, I did not want to interfere with their police work.

I took a bunch of photos yesterday but when I got home to look at what I had I learned that I'd left the white balance on "indoor light bulb" all day long. Consequently most all of my photos have a bluish cast to them. Sigh. There are many small details and settings I should check before I start taking pictures.


And I suppose if a person paid enough attention to the details, they would know these guys are not real.

Lack of attention to the details is sometimes a problem for me. On the other hand, sometimes the most interesting things come from overlooking the details.


This is a combination of two images. I have no words for her and she prints up very blue but I like it.

There is some deeper thought in all of this. I just don't have it organized in my head yet.

  5. Was that officer hiding or sleeping? Love the blue pic. I call those "happy accidents" which is what I call most of what I do. ;)
