IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT THE LIGHT

Light from candles, but mostly from the sun. I don't like artificial light, so for me, almost all the light in my pictures is natural.

ALWAYS THE LIGHT

LIGHT FROM THE PAST I know that all of these were previously posted. I don't know if they were posted under light or for some other reason, but all of them are all about light. When I think about photography, I often think it's always about light. Past squares - Remembering the light

FOTD – CYCLAMEN

FOTD – June 6 – Cyclamen Yesterday afternoon, in the middle of getting our deck (finally) repaired, Garry said he had an important errand that could not wait. And off he went. It turned out the important errand was buying me a new orchid -- except it's not an orchid. It's a cyclamen. Cyclamen has … Continue reading FOTD – CYCLAMEN

FOTD – A PERFECTLY NEW ORCHID

FOTD – June 6 – The Newest Orchid Yesterday afternoon, in the middle of getting our deck (finally) repaired, Garry said he had an important errand that could not wait. And off he went.

NATURAL OR ELECTRIC? LET THERE BE LIGHT!

CFFC: Natural Light vs Man Made Light I pretty much always prefer natural light if I have a choice, but sometimes, you don't have a choice and you have to use flash or some other kind of electric light.

AND CAME THE CARDINAL

#SQUARE UP, AGAIN! I saw him and grabbed the camera. He flew off the feeder and I was sure I'd lost him. "Come back oh please come back," I begged. And suddenly, he reappeared on the deck rail. It was nearly dark and my long lens is not fast. Not fast enough to shoot anything … Continue reading AND CAME THE CARDINAL

THE SLANTED LIGHT BEFORE SUNSET – Marilyn Armstrong

It was late in the afternoon and the sun had swung from the northeast side of the house where the orchids are growing to the living room which faces northwest. I love the slanted yellow light which shines through the front window. It only shows up during certain months of the year, mainly late February … Continue reading THE SLANTED LIGHT BEFORE SUNSET – Marilyn Armstrong

ABOUT THE LIGHT – Marilyn Armstrong

Why do you take pictures? What makes you pick up your camera? Is it just the beauty of the scene? Or the smile on someone's face? I'm sure it is different for each of us, but this morning, I remembered what it is for me. Because even before I turned on the coffee machine, I … Continue reading ABOUT THE LIGHT – Marilyn Armstrong

SQUARED UP ARIZONA SUNSETS #12 – Marilyn Armstrong

ON THE SQUARE - ARIZONA SUNSETS #12 - Marilyn Armstrong I was amazed at the sunsets everywhere in Arizona. Just when I thought they couldn't be better, the next night would be even more brilliant. And so it went from one night to the next night, glorious sunset after sunset. In the mountains and even … Continue reading SQUARED UP ARIZONA SUNSETS #12 – Marilyn Armstrong

EAGLES NEST ALONG THE RIVER #11 – GARRY ARMSTRONG

Eagles nest along the river - Garry Armstrong The same day as the fabulous sunset, I went out with Tom in his little boat. I took this picture of a bird on the channel marker in the river. I was too far away to see what it was. Marilyn instantly spotted it as an American … Continue reading EAGLES NEST ALONG THE RIVER #11 – GARRY ARMSTRONG
