Go West XXII - Alamosa Lamp Shade

Lamp Shade, Motel Room, Alamosa, Colorado  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved


In a motel room in Alamosa, I made a test shot of this lamp shade after cleaning my camera and lens, to make sure they worked properly.

    Isn't it great when a random click results in a worthwhile image? I like the angles, the arc of light and the shadows.

    Ha! Why didn't you use B as you test shot subject?
    She must be so jealous of this lamp shade now. ;o)
    Did you see the fireworks last night?
    Saw the San Diego 30-second fireworks on BBC.

    Beautiful shot, Doug: textures and angles. I know I do repeat myself but only an artist could use such a subject and turn it into art!
