A Hymn To Christ
~
In what torn ship soever I embark,
That ship shall be my emblem of thy Ark;
What sea soever swallow me, that flood
Shall be to me an emblem of thy blood;
Though thou with clouds of anger do disguise
Thy face, yet through that mask I know those eyes,
Which, though they turn away sometimes,
They never will despise.
I sacrifice this Island unto thee,
And all whom I loved there, and who loved me;
When I have put our seas 'twixt them and me,
Put thou thy sea betwixt my sins and thee.
As the tree's sap doth seek the root below
In winter, in my winter now I go,
Where none but thee, th' Eternal root
Of true Love, I may know.
Nor thou nor thy religion dost control
The amorousness of an harmonious Soul,
But thou wouldst have that love thyself: as thou
Art jealous, Lord, so I am jealous now,
Thou lov'st not, till from loving more, Thou free
My soul: who ever gives, takes liberty:
O, if thou car'st not whom I love
Alas, thou lov'st not me.
Seal then this bill of my Divorce to All,
On whom those fainter beams of love did fall;
Marry those loves, which in youth scattered be
On Fame, Wit, Hopes (false mistresses) to thee.
Churches are best for Prayer, that have least light:
To see God only, I go out of sight:
And to 'scape stormy days, I choose
An Everlasting night.
- John Donne
Night shot practice. I did a few errors here practicing, my ISO was way too low, this is a 30 second exposure. Not in manual i followed a tutorial with the wrong advice, but I learned from my mistake and ill be going further outside the city light pollution later to test these methods out.

A4 edited version. I shot in manual mode without a tripod. I cropped the image to put my friend in better focus in the shot.
"This job used to make me miserable because of the anxiety stemmed in the guilt for being in "Attack Mode" all the time until one day, I decided to give in, and fully embrace my inner sociopath and narcissistic tendencies. When I did this, and forgave myself for doing so, I felt both at peace and a new form of inner rage simultaneously, and at this moment, I became dangerous."- James Scott, Senior fellow, ICIT and CCIOS
