blue cadets!

Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 5 February 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Blue cadets
I was giving a seminar on wind energy in the city of Naoussa in Macedonia a few weeks ago. All the participants were late so I took the camera and started taking pictures of the hall. And there the were, proud, clean , striking blue. The drinking cadets, ready to spur into action. Their ammunition was standing by, water, orange juice, tomato and lemonade. ¨We are ready Dimitrios¨ they said with one loud voice. ¨Please take a picture before our uniforms become wet¨. What can I do in such request, I had to start cliking away….Be careful am3 cadets, have a great week.

Jason Kravitz from Brussels, Belgium

what congenial models you have there. Perhaps you should be giving seminars on inanimate objects and their ability to speak to us when nobody is listening ;-)

Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States

Great shot! The ripples and play of light is perfect. I'm not sure about the dark line through the middle, but it does look a little like a sound wave on an oscilloscope -- which is kind of cool. Way to find the details, Dimitrios!

5 Feb 2007 10:24pm

@Ken McCoy: greetings Ken, I like your scientific explanation. I am an engineer myself but when I take photos I am captivated by pure colour or unusual settings. Take care D.

dYe from Cambridge, United States

Beautiful! The repetitiveness of the subject and the limited color pallette give this shot a lovely simplicity, but the way the glass catches the light gives it a lot of interesting detail as well.

6 Feb 2007 4:26am

@dYe: Thank you for your kind and detailed coment. What an unusual and eye catching name dYe? regards D.
