The S Curve stumped me this week.
This line goes further than just a plain curved line. It is called the Line of Beauty. You have seen this S Curve hundreds of times in drawings and paintings and many works of art.
But, but how and where was I to find the S Curve in nature? This week for class. The more I thought about it during class, the more I got myself all worked up, over nothing. S Curves are everywhere!
In the photo below, if you follow along the mountain, you can see how the very top curves up and down as it leads into the next mountain. That is considered an S Curve. The ripples going down the side of the mountain are considered S Curves. The bushes in the foreground make an S Curve pattern. S Curves are everywhere in this shot. But the shot would not be complete without a subject.
Check out that barn (the subject) positioned in “the rule of thirds” (not in the center both horizontally and vertically) in the lower right 1/3 of this shot. Boom! We have S Curves and a subject!
Can you see the S Curves in this shot?
The mountains, lake and road are all S Curves. I did need to wait for just a bit to get the jeep. As I’m learning, a picture is not complete without a subject.
I’m not really ga ga over the shot above. I’m just not. I don’t care for the evening hours when this shot was taken. And I believe it would be a lot more pleasing to the eye if this particular shot had been taken in the morning. Only because the sun would have been on this side (behind me) of my subject.
I’m a bit anal, but I’ve also learned that in this class, I can’t run myself raged every day of the week (like I did on my first assignment). It’s weeks like that, week after week that I could just drop the class and hunker back into a homebody.
Today I get to be a homebody, I love that! I get to stay home, drink coffee, do laundry, clean, drink some more coffee…
Hey, HEY! Yes, you! I’ve got some good news! Speaking of coffee, I just discovered my new favorite coffee cream.
Allow me to introduce you to (if you haven’t already had a formal introduction) International Delight Coldstone Sweet Cream!
Thank you International Delight and Coldstone for putting your heads together. Coffee without you would not be the same.
These guys are huge as in the 32 oz size. I couldn’t find a smaller size to try.
I’m always skeptical trying new coffee creams. But I thought, why not give this big guy a try? After giving it a try, I quickly picked up another two bottles. Why, you ask? Because if this is just a seasonal thing, I will cry. And It won’t hurt to have plenty of back – up.
The other thing I like about this stuff is that it has no trans fat nor does it have the awful hydrogenated oil which means “trans fat”. LOVE – LOVE – LOVE this stuff. Now hurry up and try it! I dare say you will have three whopping jugs of it in your fridge like me by the weekend. No?
I can’t say goodbye without pausing to remember 9/11/2001
