“The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.” – Samuel Smiles

Today I am sharing two images because I thought it fun to compare perspectives and demonstrate that by moving around a subject, we change the feel and emotions of a photograph.  When we move around our subjects we capture light in a different perspective.  Light is photography so it is important to watch it and use it to capture our subjects – using it to our benefit.  The presence or absence, angle, color, and intensity of light truly can change the meaning of an image.

Have a great weekend everyone!

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”  – John Lubbock

A Game of Chase in the Garden

I was supposed to be packing for a weekend of lacrosse at Penn State when I took a last-minute walk around the garden.

My senses came alive to the sight of butterflies, the sound of bees buzzing, and the aroma of Hydrangeas.

An impatient chase ensued, and I was able to capture a few magnificent creatures.  Above, is a butterfly or two.
