My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, coffee life, spirituality and the mystery of it all.
“The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.” ― C. JoyBell C
Spent a couple of hours last Saturday with my friend Sheri in Old Town. I bought her coffee then lunch, took a bunch of photos and had a wonderful time with her. Thanks, Sheri!
I had the pleasure of shooting a session with sisters a few days ago. You have already seen images of each of them, and now one with both of them. What a great time with two very lovely young ladies, Jen and Libby. Thanks, girls, it was fun!
Shade trees provided the diffused light and fill flash used on the second image.
These images were made by shooting into the setting sun with high reflection off the water. I used on camera fill flash. I liked how the wind was blowing through their hair.
Have been playing with Silver Efex Pro. So far I’m liking it but I do have a question for anyone familiar with this Lightroom plugin. I cannot get Lightroom to see the modified TIFF file unless I close out Lightroom and bring it back up.
“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
I hope a breeze blows into your day bringing the choicest of things and all that your hearts holds dear. Have a wonderful birthday, my friend!
On my way to the Old Market area for a bite to eat I noticed this young man waiting for the bus. I stopped, took one image and walked on while he waited. Dinner was good, also. Processed with Silver Efex Pro.
My grandkids are beginning to have some doubts about their grandfathers stability when they see me setup the tripod and take a few self-portraits. They deny it but I can see it in their eyes. No matter, I think a self-portrait is the best thing to do when you’ve just trimmed the beard for my trip I start today. Gonna fly up north to Wisconsin then to DC on the east coast and crawl into bed late in Kansas City. Then up before dawn and head back to DC. Turn the plane around and fly to Omaha for the night and take off my shoes. The last day is back to Denver where we pickup another plane and fly to Dallas then back to Denver. Done at that point so I drive home and sleep in my own bed on Sunday. Four days off and do it again. It’s a lifestyle. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
