Sky Watch. . . or Pond Watch?
This shot was taken just a couple of days ago. It’s amazing when you look outside at just the right moment and recognize a photo-worthy sky. Very cool. And very new to me. Of course being somewhat limited in my photography skill and equipment, I’m sure that a hundred others would have taken a totally WOW photo of this same moment. If someone can explain (in very slow, simple language) how to improve this shot using a PHD camera (Push Here Dummy) I’d be most grateful. (btw – I knew to turn the flash off. thank you.) The shots I took of just the sky (without the pond) didn’t show the color as intensely as the reflection in the pond did. And truly, the colors were equally brilliant. I guess the creative thing to do would have been to crop the sky out of the shot and just do the pond reflection thing. Ah – yes. This is why I blog.
This same photo could be placed under a new heading brewing in my mind. Something along the lines of "Things I See at the Pond" or maybe "Gazing out my Kitchen Window". C O R N Y. Anyway – I really do enjoy my kitchen window. And I am thoroughly loving the things I see in, around, or near the pond. I do have a collection of photos started. But the collection will be appreciated more fully when people other than myself will be able to identify the tiny dots on the picture (ie I need to find the other lens). So you can anticipate more Pond Watch photos in the future.
