July Color Chase Challenge grid for Muted Terracotta

Notes on a few of the images: middle top row is the Civil War era furnace at Brierfield Ironworks Historical State Park in Brierfield AL; first image on second row is the remains of a coal mine where my grandfather was the mining engineer in Sayre AL (My dad was the first male child born in Sayre and was named after Mr. Sayre, the owner of the mine and, apparently, the town!); third on middle row is a door I found in Selma AL; middle image on bottom row is also from Selma.  The other images are fairly self-explanatory.

Red Ranunculus

If you were in Publix earlier this week you may have heard me squeal when I found some beautiful Ranunculus flowers tucked away far back in the flower bin.  I don’t often get my hands on these. 

Canon 5D MarkIII, Canon 100mm + Kenko 36mm extension tube, f/5.6, 1/125s ISO 12800, window light

If you remember the Hall Brothers Dairy Barn on 331 in South Montgomery County AL you may be interested in today’s blog post.  I came across some pictures I took of it in April 2005.  The barn is no longer there so I’m very glad I have these.  Direct link to the post here for Facebook viewers: https://photographybydiannapaulk.com/2026/07/24/hall-brothers-dairy-2005/  If you’re viewing on Instagram there’s a link to the blog in my profile.

I’ve made it to Day 50 of my 100 Day Challenge.  If you missed the earlier posts, I started a challenge on June 1st to print a flower photo on one side of a 4x6 card and a thought-provoking or inspiring quote on the back.  I moved them over to my other Instagram account @2nd_cup_of_coffee if you’d like to follow along.  I’ve only posted days 1-7 so far as I vacillated on where and how best to post them. 

This photo that I used for my Day 50 card is posted here for the #glorifygodloop … Our goal is to glorify God through the creativity He has given us. To see today’s posts go to #glorifygodloop7_20_26

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Colossians 3:13

Color Chase Challenge Muted Terra Cotta: Barn

Another image from the archive for this month’s color.  I have fond memories of being permitted to photograph the nearby cotton fields and this little barn.  It turned out to be one of my all-time favorite photography adventures.

Another one of my practice Alla Prima style Photoshop paintings.

Alla Prima is Italian for “at first attempt.” It describe a painting technique where an artwork is completed in a single session.  In the real-paint world it is a wet-on-wet technique resulting in expressive, textured brush strokes.  Leaving areas of the canvas exposed is a deliberate technique.  Using brushes and lessons from @elevateyourart I’m trying to duplicate that style in Photoshop not using AI.

I do think the composition on this one is a little off.  I should have taken away some of the greenery at the top left and added more under the roses.  But “progress not perfection” is what I keep reminding myself as I work through this process.

Macro Project 52: Shape and Form

The primary difference in shape and form is dimensionality.  Shape is 2-dimensional (flat) and form adds the third dimension of depth.  Photography is by default a 2-dimensional product.  Photographers use light, perspective, and depth of field so the viewer will perceive depth in an image. 

Canon 5D Mark III, Lensbaby Velvet 56, f/4, 1/125s, ISO 250, Einstein studio light camera left

July’s Color Chase Challenge is Muted Terra Cotta.

This is one of my all-time favorite finds while exploring Selma with a friend a few years ago.  Not my usual genre of photography but I just fell in love with it when I saw it!
