For photographers one of the challenges and pitfalls of photography, is the struggle to come up with new interesting content.
The struggle:
When, after many hours, having scoured my archives looking for those hidden gems and once found, having re-tweaked those old shots. Yet I still have not been as excited as when I am on the trail, hidden deep in the woods... or when in some new city or town and i take that shot, that I know will look great once edited.
The Challenge:
To stay fresh and to come up with new ideas, to push the proverbial envelope of my creativity, to find that image that takes my breath away the moment I press the shutter.
In May 2020 in my struggle, I was trying to take an interesting photo of a burning candle. I tried different lenses, getting close, changing the light even adding new backgrounds. Finally frustrated and really not feeling it. I packed up most of my toys and was ready to call it a night.
Karen, who is always my faithful assistant, walked over and blew out the candle. That is when it happened.... the light was dim and the smoke from the freshly extinguished candle rose up into the air and began it's magical dance. Soon the aroma of burnt candle filled the atmosphere; Just then I fired off two quick shots. Finally! vindicated... I rushed upstairs to my computer.. this was my final edit. I hope it was worth the struggle.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,
