Pixel Darkroom Photography

This image is almost the same as I saw it up in the sky a couple of hours ago. It wasn’t going to be the image for today, but just like many others in the past, I ended up liking it the most. I was planning to go outside and shoot something with available light, something, anything. I drove around for a few minutes and stopped on the side of the road. I hadn’t even seen the sky. As I turned though, I saw the color of the sun through the smoky clouds. It’s been cloudy and rainy the entire day. There was no hope of even remembering that there is a star called Sun behind all the clouds. Yet for a brief moment, the sun shone through a thinning of the clouds and I shot this image. I went on with my walk and drive and ended up with nothing that I liked.

I decided to head home. It was already dark and I didn’t know what I had “in the can”. I thought I’d look around and see if I find something to edit to my liking and planned on going out again if I needed to. I liked the first image quite a bit and I’m bringing it to you here.

When I was a child, I liked imagining what the clouds were looking like. What do they look like to you?

Come on, be a child again…

Here’s a little bit of freshly picked raspberries. I could totally see this image in a calendar or some other place so it is definitely available as stock image. The rain got to the fruit a little bit, but it was only enough to clean them up. It was measured. Another one of my favourites. Our good friend picked these up and a big thank you goes to her and my wife helped with the rain gear so a big thank you goes to her. Shot at 1/60 or so to grab the rain drops. I tried a few shots with on camera flash for fill but I got some reflections from the water flowing down the wood and I liked better the image without the reflections. Here is Day 272.
