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 a little different. I’ve decided that this Blog will be my main photography communication vehicle. Content will be varied and in the spirit of my approach to photography as described on the "About" page of my website at www.jeffmarcowitz.photography 

Unlike the past, all content posted here in the blog will NOT also be on the website Project W pages. I intend to make the Project W pages more of a curated collection of work representing the “Best Of” images posted here on the Blog. With a subscription, you'll continue to receive an email (with content) whenever I post to the Project W Blog.

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
