Week 8 ; Bright
I was hoping to get out and snap some shots of the grass during golden hour for this week, but that plan didn't quite work out. Some days I was busy and couldn't get out. Plus, when I actually looked at the grass, I realized it wasn't going to be the prettiest picture. I remembered grass looking very crisp, green, and alive. The grass we have is…not. It's just dead and sad looking. (Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy to actually see it because that doesn't happen during February up here.)
With that gone, I had to get creative and decided to derive something bright from the natural light I got through the window. A lot of people had awesome pictures of brightly colored things, but we don't really have anything bright in our house. We are very neutral, soft, and natural looking people and our home reflects that. So, I worked with what I had and got this.
I decided, too, that freelensing would be great for this week. It's not the brightest here, what with there being clouds all the time, and shooting with my lens off the camera allows me to let in more light than the camera would normally. Hence, a brighter image. The technique delivered and the result was a picture of Morris napping on his favorite chair in front of what little sunlight we have. I got a beautiful, soft, bright, and airy image that far succeeded my expectations. Truthfully, too, I don't think I could've gotten a better image, even if I was able to shoot something outside.
