Weekly Winners, Playing with Light

logo wwfinal

I’ve always been fascinated by beautiful light. Trying to capture it can be a bit of a challenge, so I have been playing with my camera again this week…


Glowing …






Enchanted forest
Still life with quince


It’s crappy but I like it



September sunshine



This morning was a very foggy morning so I took my camera for a walk. Arriving just in time to capture this gorgeous early morning glow.



Autumn leaves on a misty morning




Keeping me company



Mother Nature’s DOF.

    I liked your faded young man. He looks a bit ghostly. I also especially enjoyed your ghost pictures.

    Beautiful pictures! I can tell you like your photography class and must be learning a lot. I bet Antwerp is interesting right now with Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur.

    The sunrise shot is gorgeous. I really like the fog snaps too. The next to last one, the b/w, is my favorite.

    Jientje I love the angle of the draping flowers, the shadows on the quince, the boat mirroring itself, and the lone curled leaf! All are great!

    Nice pictures. A picture can be out of focus and speak volumes as well as create a mood. Glad to hear you are enjoying your classes.

    I was trying the same thing this week only my results were poor, unlike yours. These are really nice. I enjoyed this very much.

    Light can make really make a picture pop can't it? I think it is one of the most difficult aspects to capture. At least for me. You've done a very good job.

    My favorite is "glowing", then the sun glow, then the leaf one.

    Nice.

    I think you need to put your pictures together into a lovely coffee table book! I'd buy it in an instant. They are gorgeous. And I do really like your "crappy" one too although the leaves with the blue sky background and the last one are my favorites. You have a real eye for capturing things that the rest of us would just walk by.
