Fargo Flooding -- Different Perspective

Dogdots

Last year I was out taking photos of our flood, but this year it just didn't interest me like before. So I took photos of something different then "how high" the water was getting.

Great series Mary Kim
#2 is straight out of a movie for me--what a setting! I like the b&w treatment for this shot.

I like this series of images. Although you're shooting during a flood, I really don't get that sense from these pictures. Don't get me wrong, I get a real sense of water just not what I'd expect from a flood.

Very nice.

Hi Liz..

Kinda reminds of me of the movie North By Northwest only there is water in the fields.

Thanks Liz for you comments

Hi,

I understand completely what your saying I was thinking along the line that people might of seen the flood on the news and might like to see a different perspective of it. I should of titled it differently -- my mistake.

Probably most representing of the flood would be the BW photo. Those fields were totally covered with overland flooding. And no one would of known that #4 is actully the flooded parking lot here.

If you want to see my real flood photos from this year -- they are here.

Thanks for letting me know my mistake

Howdy Mary,

I think this series really is some of your best work, each and everyone

has a distinct character to them.

Really well seen and captured.

I do not feel your title was a mistake at all.

Your perspective is not just different; it is unique. That's why it wasn't what I expected--so you accomplished the goal of providing a different perspective

Thanks for the comments

Number 2 is a killer shot, ready to be framed an put on a wall. I like everything about it, in particular the texture/lines on the road. Probably my favourite shot of yours that I've seen so far thumb

Hi,

My hubby liked that shot the best too and thought it should be printed out. It will probably get printed and framed sometime. Sure shows the vastness of ND.

Happy you liked it

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Hi Mary,

This is a super series. #2 is quite outstanding. It's kind of funny....when you least expect it, you can end up with a most poignant picture. #2 is just such a shot. It's a wall hanger for sure.

Great set of shots Mary Kim. I particularly like the 2nd and 4th ones.

Hi Tom --

Your so right..when you least expect it -- you find something that's a keeper. #2 was a shot I grabbed getting back into the car

Thank you for your nice comments.

Hi Jim --

The ham sandwich was yummy

You like #2 and 4 too -- I like those, but I really liked #3 -- a big ice cube on the melting ice.

You have a good evening too. Thanks for taking a look and your nice comment.
