Photo Wednesday

I am a relative novice at photography. One thing that I've learned, however, is to keep trying new kinds of photos. If I point my camera at something new, I never know what kind of beauty I might capture by accident.

This photo was about an hour after sunrise on a cloudy morning. The sun barely shined through the layer of clouds and was directly being Shyla's neck. To my naked eye, the sky looked drab. I didn't expect to get such a vibrant photo but voila!
The next photo was another experiment with shooting straight into the sun because I thought that there was a chance that the sun would highlight the spray of snow that Shyla was kicking up with each stride. I think a photo like this might turn out better with the sun lower in the sky but I still thought that the experiment was a success.
There's a lesson in my photographic experiments for the rest of life, I think. Keep trying new things, for you never know what you might discover.

Finally, I must apologize for my lack of visiting blogs. Between pneumonia and keeping up with regular life, I've been falling sound asleep as soon as I publish my blog post. Although my cough is not bad anymore, the fatigue from this illness is still dragging me down.

I hope that you all had wonderful holidays.

  5. In trying new things we often discover much beauty in life. And you certainly have. I think my MOM caught what you have. She says "it's no big thing." But I think I know better she is very sick and shoveling snow 5 times now today has not helped. I am glad you are on the mend and that means there is hope for my MOM too.
    Blessings,

  6. I wish like heck you were not feeling bad, but man, if this is the kind of photos you're storing up for those days when you can't come out to play... holy moly! Keep right on experimenting because you are coming up with some dynamite!

    I've been absent quite a bit lately, too. Too stressed and busy at work, and too fed up with sitting at a desk when I get home. :) I just had my first internet-free Christmas, and I rather liked it! :)

    Hope you get feeling better soon!

  7. One of the beauties of digital photography is that we can shoot without the cost of film and developing so it is easier to feel free to experiment.

    I always love your photography so keep on experimenting. Don't worry about visiting. Just get better.
