The Call: Morning Sunshine in Her Hair — Cheryl Flash photography tends to vex me in one way or another, so I prefer natural light. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always work out as well as I’d like. A little more sharpness in this shot of Stella, along with more light on her face, would make me […]
The Call: Dark and Light — Cheryl The leaves on the trees in my yard are predominantly yellow, which might seem a bit boring, but when the sun hits them in the afternoon, I almost always grab my camera.
The Response: Leaves of Light — Cheryl Subtle signs of autumn are all around, and while I love the season, I don’t know that I’m quite ready.
The Call: Balloons in the Sun — Cheryl Balloons generally make for good photos, but position them in relation to the sun, with the light shining through them, and the quality immediately goes up a notch.
The Response: Before It Goes Away — Cheryl When I saw the pattern the sunlight and a basket was making on the floor of my studio, I yelled for Stella — prodding a bit so she’d move quickly — and hoped I’d get the shot in time.
Third Call: Colors of the Sun I love capturing color in lens flare.
Fourth Call: Lover of the Light — Cheryl Few people in my life get me thinking, pondering and questioning like Jessica. I had long thought of SOOC photography as being “purer” than work tweaked and streaked in Photoshop, but Jessica has turned that on its head. She’s got me thinking of the tools used by […]
The Call: Water Dance — Cheryl Starting a 365-day photography project is liking making a New Year’s resolution, but there is one important difference (for me, at least): when I embark upon a 365, I generally succeed at meeting my goal. The Response: Danny in the Hall — Jessica Looking back at my neglected personal […]
The Call: Sunlight as Bokeh — Cheryl Just because it’s pretty. The Response: Summer Sun — Jessica Final weekend of softball and what a gorgeous day to play!
The Call: Summer Haze — Jessica We seem to have skipped spring and gone straight to mid-summer. The last few days have been full of heat, humidity and haze. Response: Bunny Barber Shop — Cheryl Today at the Maine Fiber Frolic, we watched this angora bunny get shorn. There was a haze of rabbit fur […]
The Call: Morning Sunlight — Cheryl The result of an early foray up to the high school for your son’s baseball game might be a little side trip to see how the morning light looks in that spot you like for late afternoon shots. The Response: Alley — Jessica As a result of my three-year […]
The Call: Sun & Leaves — Jessica “Radiance characterizes total emission or reflection. Radiance is useful because it indicates how much of the power emitted by an emitting or reflecting surface will be received by an optical system looking at the surface from some angle of view.” — Wikipedia.org Response: Starstruck — Cheryl O Gloriosa […]
The Call: The Wonders of Water and Light — Cheryl I marvel at the way Henry soaks up nature and enjoys every moment of being in it. I marvel at what a camera lens does to sunlight. I marvel at how cold 25 degrees can feel when you’re near the water and the wind is […]
