For this week’s challenge, I present Papa’s colorful plastic wind wheel. He got it somewhere along the road from Tagaytay and put it up outside the house where it spins merrily everytime there’s a passing breeze. 🙂
I was shooting partially against the light so I used flash to compensate, and to my delight the glittery texture showed up as well. Even more colors, yey! 😀
Amazing!!! Wish I could own a ‘professional’ camera too, sooon.
Thanks Rikx! Hope you go for Canon too when you get a DSLR. 😉
What’s the background. This looks so vibrant.
Cloudy skies + Meralco lines. Lol. Thanks. 🙂
Nice. I looked at the background too and tried to double check whether those are electricity lines. They don’t look much as distracting kasi.
Thanks Camille! 🙂 I had to open the shutter as wide as it would go to blur the background a bit. If I had an f/1.8 pens the power lines would have been even less noticeable with the blur. Alas, I only have my somewhat limited kit lens. 😛
Ooohhh! I love it! Colours are popping out of this photo like a fresh rainbow. 🙂
Thanks much Marie! 🙂
Playful colors! Imagining how the photo would turn out if the wind blew,hehe.
Would have been nice too, but I think the colors would have blurred together. 😉
I had one too when we went to clark’s kite festival years ago. may you could have taken the pic while it’s spinning, that would have been cool!
There was no breeze that time so it was stationary. 😉
I do see these all the time on the road up to Tagaytay! 🙂 Pretty.
Thanks Patty! 🙂
I always look forward to your photos. Great shot! 🙂 You have a knack of seeing things and making them more beautiful 🙂
Awww, thank you Mitz! 🙂
whenever I see these along the road, I want to buy them….but I haven’t done it yet…. haha…. very nice shot !
Thanks Chinky! 🙂 Now go buy one! 😛
I love those! I’ve been looking for those ever since but I never really found out where I can get them… ’til I lost interest cos I moved in a building. Still, I think it would look lovely placed on the windows, eh? haha. I’m sure my kids would love those! Such lovely colours!
Now you know where to get them… Go to Tagaytay! 🙂 Yeah, kids and kids at heart *wink wink* would surely appreciate this simple toy.
