Stillness of the Night Light
“So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.” – T.S. Elliot
I took this shot late one evening as I was retiring from a day of skiing. I had just checked on the kids and was climbing the steps of the cabin when I noticed the incredible detail of the evening light. The snow through the window and the dark shadows defined the stillness of the night while the light danced through the window.
Hoping you have moments of stillness with gorgeous light this weekend!

“Light, when suddenly let in, dazzles and hurts and almost blinds us: but this soon passes away, and it seems to become the only element we can exist in”. ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827
Double Exposure – White Lily Leaf and Pine Cone
When playing with the remnants of my holiday bouquet it didn’t appeal to me to simply photograph dead flowers, so I employed the double exposure function on my Nikon D810. I used various manual settings to adjust the exposure for the effect I wanted. I then converted the image to black and white using Topaz Labs. What do you think? I like the effect of the pine cone hiding behind a sheer screen and the added texture of the Lily leaf adds another dimension – almost making it abstract.
On a separate note, for those of you who truly love black and white photography I highly recommend subscribing to the on-line magazine – BWGallerist. I think you’ll find the articles both interesting and inspiring.
Happy New Year!
