“Light glorifies everything. It transforms and ennobles the most commonplace and ordinary subjects. The object is nothing, light is everything.” -Leonard Missone<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Someone loves light as much as I do. It IS<\/i><\/b> everything. You know what though – I’ve completely forgotten about my external flash, which does come in handy indoors. The photo below was shot right on my bed using the external flash and I am completely pleased with the outcome. The flash was a $500 investment rotting away in a drawer because I never learned how to use it properly – I still don’t know how to use it. It was one of those impulse purchases when I first got into photography and had to have everything under the sun, thinking that the more equipment I had, the better photos I could take.<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

All I ever wander around with today is my camera, my portrait lens, my zoom lens, and my wide angle lens. I don’t care about anything else and don’t really need anything else except for a macro lens perhaps, which I need to save up for (among a hundred other things I’m saving for). Half of the recipe is my equipment and the other half is the post processing work in Adobe Photoshop – to me, that’s where the ‘creation’ takes place. The snapping of the photo requires ‘the eye’ so that you see beauty in all the ordinary things in life, then post processing the photo is the ‘painting’ of your complete vision, breathing personality and style into it.<\/p>\n

Photographers and all lovers of this art form, this photo is available as an 8×10 print at my Etsy Shop<\/a>. Come shop or support. :)<\/p>\n
