"Lead, Kindly Light" is a hymn with words written in 1833 by John Henry Newman and 4th verse by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr.. The tune was written by John B. Dykes in 1865.
As a young priest, John Newman became sick while in Italy and was unable to travel for almost three weeks. In his own words:
"Before starting from my inn, I sat down on my bed and began to sob bitterly. My servant, who had acted as my nurse, asked what ailed me. I could only answer, "I have a work to do in England." I was aching to get home, yet for want of a vessel I was kept at Palermo for three weeks.
I began to visit the churches, and they calmed my impatience, though I did not attend any services. At last I got off in an orange boat, bound for Marseilles. We were becalmed for whole week in the Straits of Bonifacio, and it was there that I wrote the lines, Lead, Kindly Light, which have since become so well known."
Lead, Kindly Light was sung by a soloist on the RMS Titanic during a hymn-singing gathering led by Rev. Ernest C. Carter, shortly before the ocean liner struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912.
It is thought that this hymn echoes a truth our hearts confirm: though trials may extinguish other sources of light, Christ will illuminate our path, "keep our feet," and show us the way home.

It's strange to me that I dont feel remotely self conscious about my body yet I hate having a regular photo taken -go figure! Anyway this is a simple one from earlier that I decided to upload without any fussing around with it. I'm considering offering this sort of boudoir photography on my website as I hope it is beautiful and not at all cheap and tacky. www.abigailsteedphotography.com
I have a recurring nightmare. The situation changes slightly but the theme is always the same.
I am in a house and I awake from my sleep. I have the distinct impression that there is something else around, in the dark... lurking... So I go to investigate and I reach for the switch, except no lights go on... I flick again and again and then... It charges...and I wake up...Usually in a cold sweat.
I rarely see "it"... the frighting part is the non-working light switch.
I wasn't sure how to depict the "dark"

This photo comes from my third attempt at shooting burning light bulbs. It became clear to me in earlier attempts that smashing the bulbs with a hammer or pinching the base of the glass with pliers in hopes of getting interesting shapes wasn't working with the frequency I was hoping for. I was able to cut the bulb to get whatever desired shape I wanted and not waste any bulbs due to damaged filaments.

So i had this "bright idea". Not really, i saw this on the strobist 101 blog and thought id
give it a go. It was all going quite well until my Yongnuo 560 ii started playing up, it was flashing but wasn't lighting the subject. not sure if there was a short delay between that
and my other flashes. a bit strange!!. So instead of having a snootted flash CL and CR pointing just at the base of the lightbulb i had to use 1 just slightly CL to light the base only, as you see by the shadow.
strobe info:
canon 600 EX-RT 1/128 @ 35mm with lee taoist pink gel at white background
canon 580 EXii 1/128 @105mm with 9" snoot slightly CL below.
triggered by the canon 60D wireless system

Ailsa Craig from Dunure . Interesting fact: Ailsa Craig is an island of 99 hectares in the outer Firth of Clyde, 16 kilometres west of mainland Scotland, upon which blue hone granite was quarried to make curling stones.
Le persone che si sognano di notte bisognerebbe chiamarle la mattina dopo. La vita sarebbe molto più facile.
Another snap from Dorset this summer. Not had a lot of photo opportunities recently so have been revisiting my back catalogue!
Put yourself on view. This brings your talents to light.
