    Window Light

    Beautiful Woman

    This beautiful young lady was working on her computer in a local coffee shop. I was drawn by her striking features and the wonderful window light on her face. I worked up the courage to ask her if I could shoot a portrait of her as she gazed out the window. Gratefully, she said yes.

    It seems I have been processing more images in black and white. This includes portraits, street and some landscapes. Wonder what that implies?

    Patience

    Reading Her Book
    Reading Her Book

    I would venture to say many of us could use some improvement on our patience. I think aging has improved my ability to wait patiently more. Life does not need to be rushed as much as I think it used to. I could take a lesson from this woman as she patiently waits and reads. You can also note she came prepared, which helps.

    Gate 46

    November 11, 2012

    ..If you get an opportunity in photography you have to grab it – they don’t come along that often. When you get the chance of a great picture, you have to identify that quickly and make the most of the situation. Whatever age you are you can do that. Even with luck, you will still have to press the shutter at the right time. You need good reflexes and you need to be fit. 

    John Giles

    As photographers we are always observing how the light falls on our subjects. When I pulled out my camera and took three images it was a mix of interests. The woman’s focus, how the light was hitting her, the billboard, the gate number, all played into the making of this image. There was also a need to hold my camera in my hand and press the shutter to grab the moment.

    Woke to a temperature of 16 degrees at 6:00 am. Now up to 20 degrees but awesome to see the sun shining. Have a good Sunday.
