My Two Shoes… And Concrete Boots? — wk 13

Last week, waiting for the train, I looked down at my shoes. The morning sun cast some shadows of my shoes across the concrete. So I pointed my iPhone down towards my shoes, and turned around until I found interesting shadows. Later I processed the file with Dynamic Light. The default settings opened up the shadow areas nicely.

Returning from work, I pass the exit from the underground parking garage. I was drawn to the curves drawing the eye into the top right of the image. The image was converted to black and white with Snapseed.

Exiting from light rail at University of Denver, the setting sun shone through the back of the station benches. This image looked great with the bright colors of the seat backs. After opening the image with Simply HDR, I picked a black and white rendition. This brought out the texture of the concrete with low setting sun.

At the end of the week, I left work along a different route. Along the sidewalk were these footprints embedded in the concrete. Concrete boots?

Are the footprints embedded into the concrete? Or are they raised above the concrete? An optical illusion. This image was processed with Snapseed. This is one of the few that I have included a frame.

    Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to use the picture of concrete footprints as part of my FB cover photo, with giving you the credit and linking this page to my picture.

    Thanks again for considering my request,

    Julie Bernier
