My LensBaby Muse came last night--and I had today off to play with it! There is definitely a learning curve, which makes me grateful for digital photography: it costs nothing to experiment. This is one of my first successful shots.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Surely the flame (of life) is a living thing - and so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can almost see the flame flickering.
ReplyDeleteThat's the weird thing about this--some reason, there is that sense of movement about the flame. I can't explain it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new lens Bobbie. It looks as though you're off to a fine start together.
ReplyDeleteNice image, and I'm in the Lensbaby avoidance club! Seriously, I like this as it doesn't rely heavily on the blur due to the darkness below the flame.
ReplyDeleteFor me there's only one word: Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! I look forward to seeing more of your photos with your new toy.
