It’s a gray-ish morning at the beach. But who cares? I’m at the beach!
And I happened to catch a sea chicken in the picture for added atmosphere. Bonus.
In today’s edition of Wide Angle Wednesday, I present for you a piece of framed memorabilia from my wedding. Two pieces, actually.
At the reception, we had a wedding cake as well as a groom’s cake. Both were made by a close friend of my wife’s family. The wedding cake was beautiful, and had the requesite layers a wedding cake should have.
The groom’s cake, however, was in the shape of a book. And to accentuate the book cake, the woman who made it hand painted the Irish Blessing and Celtic Knots on two pieces of rice paper and laid them on top, so that they were facing each other like a pair of pages. The cake was so stunning and surprising for the guests, one of my groomsmen kissed me on the cheek and said, “You’re a beautiful man.” I kid you not.
I took the rice paper and framed it in two separate frames years ago. Tonight I snapped this picture. The only way to get both in the picture was to bust out the wide angle lens attachment for my phone. And thus, Wide Angle Wednesday concludes.
If Mondays are going to be “Macro Monday”, then let’s make Wednesdays “Wide Angle Wednesdays”. This one was taken using the wide angle lens on the Ztylus Revolver iPhone attachment. It was taken at the Elementary School band concert tonight. As you can see, it was a pretty good turn out. Hence the need for a wide angle shot.
This beast is sitting idle for now, and that’s okay by me. It’s a front-end loader with a plow attachment hooked onto the bucket. It’s probably seen some use this winter, but so far, knock on wood, we’ve had, what is for New England, a minor amount of snow. So for now, this beast sits, waiting.
To get the full scope of the plow blade, I used the Zytlus wide angle lens. I then tweaked the look of the picture in Enlight.
