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.
