Watching Light Happen
“Sunlit”
Our challenge this week was to show contrast in an image. Contrast can be made with anything that has two extremes. I fell behind in my challenges so for this week, I went to the archives. The difference in this image between the sunlit flowers and the shady trees in the background creates the contrast needed for this challenge.
“Golden Petals”
When the sun is warm, we have infinite possibilities for subjects. Everything is in bloom, the birds are out. But the thing that caught my eye today was the simplicity of the petals. I shot this so the pistols in the most lit bloom was the subject and the petals the background.
“Morning Glories”
It’s close to winter when it comes time to cut down the vines. These late bloomers continue to show all its true colors, all the way down to its core. The buds just barely wanting to open and the vines show all the freshness of spring in the fall. Breathtaking.
“Feeling the Warmth”
f5.6, 1/1250 sec., ISO 200, 250 mm
The last two remaining stretch upwards towards the warm light above. Their needs aren’t complicated when the conditions are right. Basic, readily available. It just takes love.
