Photography for me is all about visual story telling, and the beach is a great place to find stories. This image is part of my series "Life's a Beach".
That's my brother-in-law's son. I was asked to shot a little fellow some photos and as I have never before played with studio photos - I was a little afraid what outcome will be.
I considered using 45mm / 1.8 but it was too long in our temp studio - which is by the way sunlight from outside and 1 blanked - so i changed it to Panasonic 20mm f/1.7.Session went smoothly and outcome went beyond my expectations.
Images were sharp and very vibrant shot wide open!- I almost only cropped them a little and thats it.
Great lens in so small package!
I never have expectations when I head fro the beach, but I always go in the knowledge that things can change very quickly. Cloud systems can fill an empty blue sky within a few minutes, so the fun is in the unexpected. For once this shot ignores the reflections, and gives the shimmering drying sand a chance.

This view is looking towards Queenstown which would have to be one of the most beautiful places I have seen :-)

One of Teilhard’s enduring contributions is that he reconciled evolution and creation in such a way that there ought no longer to be seen any intrinsic conflict between the two. God creates the universe evolutively. From the “outside” or “without,”110 the universe evolves; one thing comes to be by way of birth from something that already is.111 From the “inside” or “within,” there is an energy of evolution that moves it. That energy ultimately is love, or God, the God of evolution, the God who makes creation evolve. The cosmos is a cosmogenesis, a coming to be that has a birth with time and unfolds in time.

A trip to Plumford Wildflower Meadows revealed a sea of colour as far as the eye could see with the Pyramidal Orchids put on their annual show. An exceptional season with thousands upon thousands of all shapes, forms and hues ranging from Var Alba, white with a hint of pink, light salmon through to mauves and crimson, one of natures true delights.......
My friend at 4 1/2 months. We plan to do a maternity session in a few months. I had to ask her to stick her belly out farther for this shot. =D
I am not crazy about this composition but it was worth a shot. I have better ideas for the next session.

Wishing everyone a year filled with great expectations, new goals to be reached new challenge to hurdle, and new opportunities waiting to be discovered.
Taken at this first day of the year, at my usual venue, the Lake Ontario, I was late for the sunrise....

At Turf Moor
A couple of the decisions by the referee were dubious, to say the least.
We were playing one of the best teams on the world.

This candid shot was literally "shot from the hip" - I was holding my camera at waist-level with one hand as I walked past this lad. He saw the camera and his eyes just lit up. Could be sharper, but I'm happy considering the chance circumstances.

Dieses Bild wurde wirklich "aus der Hüfte" geschossen - ich hielt die Kamera mit nur einer Hand in Hüfthöhe als ich an diesen Jungen vorbei lief. Er sah die Kamera, und seine Augen leuchteten auf. Könnte etwas schärfer sein, ich bin aber mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden, wenn man an die Aufnahmebedingungen denkt.
There is something to be said about the intrinsic link between failure and expectation. It seems to me that a key component of failure is expectation. Try to imagine failure without expectation? It's tricky. Because in order to fail, you have to have somehow defined what failure is. And we do this with expectation in hand all the time, be it consciously or otherwise. This image is an example of just that. I set it up, had a shot in mind, calculated my exposure, sat on the tracks counting that exposure off mentally, got up closed the shutter and wound the film. All with an expectation of something. Part of that something was a vague notion of how I wanted the image to look. Another part of that something was the expectation that I calculated the technical aspects of the image correctly - focus, exposure, etc. Yet another part of that something was the expectation that the film would be processed correctly. And so on. You get the idea of how something like this is built off a chain of expectations, even when we don't necessarily think of those expectations. Then, when something doesn't go as expected, for example I somehow blew the exposure and overexposed the frame by several stops thereby producing a more faded, washed out image with a bit of a color cast. Well, that goes against my expectation of how I thought this would turn out. My initial reaction was, "Well, blew that one" and mentally began the process of writing this image off. It was just one photo after all and I make a lot of photos. Also, I am no stranger to "blowing it". I often tell people I could bury them with the boxes of throwaway sample prints from "failed" images that I have accumulated over the years. But then again, as I implied above, what is failure really, other than unmet expectations? And if that is really a key to failure, can failure not be converted to something else merely by either tweaking those expectations or simply by not handcuffing yourself to them. It is fine to have expectations, it is also fine to set them aside. After a day, and a second visit to this negative, I gave my initial expectations of this photo a rest and what was left behind was something that was neither expected nor failed. I don't know what it is, nor do I really need to. It is another image in my collection that has something that intrigues me, that has given me something to consider and think about. I used to remark to students that if a every photo you make teaches you something, are there really bad photos?
Anyway, just some thoughts inspired by my misexposure in the making of this particular image. And no, I still don't quite know how I goofed this one up. But I am ok with that too. If I knew, I might want to do it again and that wouldn't be nearly as fun as when it happens incidentally.
