It’s about light

Photography is about light.  I’m not talking about the extreme case where no light equals no photography.  Rather, it is the quality as well as amount that matters.


We often talk about ‘sweet’ light, that light that occurs not long after the sun has come up and shortly before it goes down.  Those indeed are special kinds of light.  But there can be decent light just about any time of day.


This light, with a little help from Photoshop, occurred about 11:00 one morning.

Especially if it is filtered through leaves and trees, light in late morning can be just fine.


Backlighting can be good just about any time of day.


And light can often be assisted by Photoshop as it was in this next example.


As I look at this last image, I can see that it needs some more work.  But that can be done in the evening, when the light is pretty well gone.
