I have been posting to this blog for over 13 years, each year reporting on accomplishments over the prior year and goals for the new year.

2024 is no different. My main photography goal for the year is listed in the January submission of the 2024 C.London 52 Week Photography Challenge. Content this year will work towards that goal in addition to my general shooting. Check out my website "About" page to learn more. The website is at www.jeffmarcowitz.photography 

All content posted here in the blog will also be on the website, however with a subscription to the blog, you'll continue to receive the email notifications.

Thanks to all of you who have followed this photo blog for many years and welcome to any newcomers. My hope is that the images and stories are interesting and thought-provoking as I continue this creative journey. As always, comments, critiques and suggestions (here and the website) are welcome and appreciated as they often lead to new ideas and inspiration.

Thank You.
Jeff

C.London52w10: Natural Light

From the C.London website: "Controlling natural light can be daunting as it is at first thought, well, uncontrollable. But, spoilers! You can control natural light. Find open shade, use a reflector/poster board, create shadows with your own hand. The possibilities are as boundless as your creativity."

I used my sunrise outing last Friday to kill two birds with one stone - 52Frames & C.London week 10 challenges.

This challenge for me was managing the natural light to create the image I had in mind rather than exercising control over that light.  Or maybe they are the same…you be the judge.  There were three primary considerations for capturing this image:
1.  Position myself where people could walk between me and the rising sun
2.  Shoot into the sun without the lens hood to create lens flare
3.  Close down the aperture enough to result in a sun star
