Went on my photoshoot yesterday and as I prepared to leave when it was getting on towards dusk; the clouds lit up spectacularly and it was just too beautiful to just up and leave! So I stayed another two hours!
I caught this spider in his web as I was laying in the sand shooting the lake, the dunes and the city; panning my lens around ... and into the viewfinder popped this little guy. I wasn't even thinking of a worms-eye view for today; and I haven't done one for a while. I had a lot to choose from and I just love how the webs caught the light!
Happy Worms-eye View Sunday everyone! Heading up to Great Lakes to pick up Rachel for the day. Seeing both my girls in one weekend is *happy happy joy joy*. But that means 4 hours of driving today. *heavy sigh* I've driven so much lately I feel like a long-haul trucker!
Fall is beautiful. The golden sunsets and crisp air are perfect for getting ready for the holidays. This little field is right on my way home. I just missed the most beautful sunset. The tail end of it is in the distance... :(

For slow shutter and long exposure, the 7d's exposure simulation was a great help. It can compensate with the hoya nd400x -9 stops pitch. AWB was used on most of the photos and as same with the XXd and Xd series it presented the same results.
Sisiman Bay is found in mariveles bataan, it presented a different foreground/ middleground with the presence of the beacon/light house.
The 7d handled highlights similar to 40-50d, its a bit below the 5d mk1, it would blow highlights from the sky even with a -3 stop nd grad. The photo below showed some of this flaw. But the shadow details are excellent as expected from the 10-22 lens.
Nature's Own Sculpture
A strong vertical line anchors the image and lets my eye luxuriate in textures, shapes and details. Curls and curves give a feel of motion and the neutral color palette lets each nuance have its moment of attention. A tree makes art.

I will not give up, slow down, compromise, sit back, or be turned away from that to which I am called ever onward. This beautiful surrender to an adventure - something dangerous. Something worth living for. Something that demands all of me.
I crave this.
My heart cannot be put into a limiting box of either your expectations or mine. It's far too wild.
But I'm not afraid of that.
"Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow."
— Paulo Coelho

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

"It had to do with how it felt to be in the wild. With what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation of trees and meadows, mountains and deserts, streams and rocks, rivers and grasses, sunrises and sunsets.
It had nothing to do with gear or footwear or the backpacking fads or philosophies of any particular era or even with getting from point A to point B.
The experience was powerful and fundamental. It seemed to me that it had always felt like this to be a human in the wild, and as long as the wild existed it would always feel this way."

Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁
...
One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, but along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:
She is the 100% perfect girl for me.
He is the 100% perfect boy for me.
But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fouteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.
A sad story, don’t you think?
Yes, that’s it, that is what I should have said to her. .

Finding an image for "Push the Sliders" was very easy for me! I am guilty of this and proud of it! SOOC is rarely what I 'thought' I saw!!
Jackie and I raced to where we could get the sunset before it was gone. The best spot we found was naturally taken by two other photographers sitting up on a peak, with camp chairs, tripods and beverages. Don't you hate how others are always prepared? We considered knocking them out and stealing their spot ... and beverages ... but settled for a spot off to the side. It really was a spectacular sunset!!
Happy Slider Sunday!
