There are magical lighting times in photography - morning glow or golden hour as they are sometimes referred. These were taken in the early morning "glow" as the light is just coming over the horizon and it is not too harsh. I was having a conversation with someone earlier this week about what it takes to make a good photograph and I truly believe that understanding your equipment, "having a good eye" and understanding light are at the top of the list! I believe I have a good eye (actually two) and I still have more to learn about lighting and have truly gotten to know my equipment much better since I started this blog.
I am so tired of cancer taking people in my family. I just found out today that my cousin lost her battle to cancer early this morning and she was so young. As I was about to walk outside to enjoy the early morning light, my sister called to tell me. The mist was rising from the lake across the street. Mist always pulls me in two directions...the gloomy feeling of mist is contrasted to the beauty and serenity of the scene. I guess death is similar - the sadness we feel when we lose someone we care about contrasted to the relief that they are no longer in pain. RIP Suzi.
Another cool morning after a warm night produced great little droplets of water on the leaves.
