Dramatic Black and White


Today, over at http://www.iheartfaces.com/ the focus is on B&W.

I am not sure that this falls into the "dramatic" category but I am positive it is B&W. I took this picture about the time I was starting to experiment with aperature and shutter speed. Not knowing anything about either - I feel like I got lucky. I love the movement in this picture as well as the unbridled joy of a little girl swinging. Today my wish for all you is to feel that joy for at least one moment of your day.

Focusing on Angles



This week over at http://www.iheartfaces.com/ the challenge is all about angles.
In anticipation of this week - I turned my camera a bit yesterday and came up with this. The problem I encountered was ... with my speedlight in the shoe - the flash bounces in strange and unpredictable ways. Imagine that ... something unpredictable in photography !!!


What a fun and interesting idea - thanks for planting yet another seed.
