Urban Art
Took some snaps of the local graffiti today. I love colour, but I'm warning you, these are bright. I had fun with them though, and I like the look. Quite a change from the baby feet from yesterday :) I walk by the graffiti almost every day, but I don't usually pay much attention. I had fun exploring it today though, there's so much detail! Sorry there are so many, I couldn't choose. I'd love if everyone chose a favourite, I think I'll get one prined just for fun to see how the colours turn out. Thanks!

These were so fun to look through. I'm glad you posted so many. I love what you've done with the color. I saw the one you posted on Andrea's color pop thread. Great compositions and focus. Were these taken with your 30mm?

Ellen said...

Thank you so much, everyone! Looks like #1 is the favourite so far. I'm so glad to have people looking at my blog, I love it! Glad you enjoyed these. I know the colour is a bit much, but I figured if I'm going to do it I might as well really *do* it. :)

Yep Ariana, these were with my 30mm. Love it.
