Extra Credit: Tell a Story

Time is our most precious commodity, yet it undergoes continuous, never-ending erosion.  Passing through this door, one can spend hundreds, even thousands, of dollars to track it, celebrate it or record it. But we cannot buy more of it nor measure how much of it we have.  Therefore, savor it, use it wisely and don’t wish it away, for it is finite.

CLondon52w23: Balancing Elements

From the C.London website: "Discussing visual weight can be hard to articulate, but when we are aware of it, it becomes extremely noticeable. Here’s another time when the unfocusing of eyes really comes in handy. Unfocus on a scene, does it just *feel* heavy on one side? You’re going to need a lesser-element to counterweight the subject element. That balancing element should be obviously of lesser-import either by making it smaller or more out of focus than the subject. An intentional balancing element can also create more context in a scene."

Lens shopping today, I was able to try out a telephoto zoom.  The fountain had some cool formations and I waited for some framing/balancing elements to test DoF since it's not a terribly fast lens.

"Long Hair Don't Care"

Title of this photo is a quote from my daughter-in-law.  I hadn't planned on posting this one until she did so on IG.
