"to see the world in a grain of sand..."
This is a real non-Photoshopped image. Really. No lie. Except for a slight levels adjustment, this is a real event.
I
didn’t even see it happening. It all occurred as the mirror slammed
shut for that brief few milliseconds! It’s an Awesome World indeed.

OK, now I really need a nap!!!
It was a pure, perfect night. The air was warm, the breeze, refreshing. A little short of sultry, but just barely. The moon was almost full. It didn’t rain.
Yes, the perfect night for an outdoor concert. Elvis Costello under the stars, a music hero of mine form the first day in 1981 that I danced (pogo’ed actually) to his first album at a Winnipeg social. But I will stop gushing like a 12 year old girl at a Jonas Brothers gig, and just show you.
Still got that magic at 50+ years old! (I got home at 1:00 am and of course had to look at them all up close, got to bed at 2:15 and had to get up far too early so I will put more up shortly. )
We all know that a great photograph displays great lighting. A great photo captures something ethereal, and becasue we are visual beings, it’s what we first see that gives us clues to the moment. Dramatic lighting transmits these clues.
So why would we want to limit the light, or shut it out of our image? There are a few great reasons, but none more obscure than that of what i call “stationary movement.”
Watch for the complete tutorial here.
I’m going to enjoy the sun today – headshots in the exchange. Have a great weekend and rememember your ABCs. (Always Bring Camera!)
