2013 Day 37/365 – Selective Color
Without the editing.. Find streaming sunlight – get excited because photo immediately came to mind – make sure subject is iced cold so you can reward yourself after..
Shoot directly into light.
If you’re lucky, most of the photo should be a good black and white contrast. Therefore giving you a photo that looks like you did some selective coloring.. I have to admit, i’m not a big fan of some photos I stumble across with this style but it doesn’t mean that they’re not beautiful.
So here’s to sunlight and iced cold beer.

Is the sun over the yard arm, yet?
what does that even mean??
(sorry for late reply, been busy)
The seafaring term “the sun is over the yardarm” has come to mean that the time of day has arrived when it is generally considered acceptable to imbibe some alcoholic beverage.
The yardarms on a sailing ship are the horizontal timbers or spars mounted on the masts, from which the square sails are hung. At certain times of year it will seem from the deck that the sun has risen far enough up the sky that it is above the topmost yardarm. In summer in the north Atlantic, this would have been at about 11am.
This was by custom and rule the time of the first rum issue of the day to officers and men on the ship.
Officers in sailing ships adopted a custom, even when on shore, of waiting until this time before taking their first alcoholic drink of the day.

oooh how cool.. thanks for telling me..
I usually say “it’s 12 o’clock somewhere” hehehe
With this knowledge, you can now start a whole hour earlier!
