In The Backyard

Sometimes when you get bored ,
ease into your backyard if you have one.

TAKE YOUR CAMERA

What you might see if you look might
surprise you.

These were take in my backyard  when
an afternoon thundershower  had  finished up.

I should have also taken bug spray.
Skitters were rough!!

This Weeks  Photographers  Quote

Is by one of my favorite  Florida photographers,
Clyde Butcher,

"Niki and I hope you take today and
Live like there's no tomorrow ,
Laugh as  much  as it hurts  and
bring that camera to capture the moment
so the memory  will  last  forever."

by photographer  ,Clyde Butcher

Does It Matter ?

Is it "Take a Photo"   or  "Capture an Image" ?

Should it even matter ?

Is it not the end result that really  matters?

Whether you are the creator or the recipient ,
the feelings , emotions  and  memories  of the event
that is photographed , should be all that  matters.

Thank You,
 for coming to my blog.

I welcome any comments you may have.

By , David Hockney , Photographer

Practicing

Here is a couple practice shots from my garage studio inexpensive lighting set-up.

Rainy Day Practice

Inexpensive lighting set-up that I used to shoot flowers in my garage on rainy afternoon.

I used really dark sheets as a backdrop and on a short stool. 

I had an old utility light and put some aluminum foil on it to focus the 100 watt light bulb.

The back drop was clamped to the garage door.

The stool was about four feet from the back drop.

I used a tripod and had a lot of time to learn and practice , it rained a lot that weekend.

SomeTimes

Sometimes all there is to photograph , is clouds,

This Week's Photographers Quote

This week's photographers quote is by ,
David Bailey
"It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer.
You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things.
But in photography everything is so ordinary, it takes
a lot of looking before you learn to see the extra ordinary."

OH NO !!!!

Camera + no strap+static "ZAPP!!"=dropped camera+broken lens....

Expensive lesson to learn!!
