Light...............

Light.  What an amazing thing it is.  All colors, all temperatures, direction, reflected, crisp, dispersed, softened, specular.  We are lucky as photographers to learn about all the ways light can be recorded.  Or not.  Late in the day, just before sun down a prime time to record light.  What are we recording actually?  Items, subjects, animals, buildings, water, etc., etc. REFLECTING light.  The building above had so little light that the camera did not make a record of it.  Except a silhouette.  With every shot I take, time is spent analyzing the light.  It's what makes or breaks most photographs.  Sometimes I luck out.   Most of the time funny words run from my mouth when I see photographs for the first time on my computer.  

Tomorrow I leave for Yellowstone (my family will still be here).  It is supposed to rain all week.  That does not damper my enthusiasm for the trip.  I have bought all kinds of rain gear for me and my camera gear over the years.  Forces me to be creative ( a trait I still have not learned ). Got the lunchables, granny smith apples, string cheese and single ply toilet paper.  Not much else is needed.  Except my 200 lbs. of photo paraphernalia.  I hope to blog everyday.  But don't expect too much.  My days will start at about 4:30 a.m. and end around midnight.  May have to take a couple days to recover.
