Sunlight & Shadow

Published by at 9:48 am under Country Life

Lately, I’ve been trying to capture the look of sunlight and shadow at different times of day.

Maybe it’s human nature, or maybe it’s Suzy nature, but having a better camera has made me want a much better camera. Getting closer to catching a moment makes me really want to be able to get it. Maybe one of these days. In the meantime, step into my laboratory and have a peek.

Afternoon sunlight on my front door. I liked the texture of the wood and the patina of the doorknob in this light. Also the lacy look of the shadows against the rough wood.

The side of the house looks kind of magical in this light.

The reflection of the shade at my desk on the bathroom door.

Morning light on the sleeping loft (before I put my beautiful lamp away in a kitten-induced huff).

    Before you get another camera, consider playing with the images you have and learn how to adjust curves/levels, the contrast and other elements of the image. You likely can’t afford Photoshop but Photoshop Elements will be in your price range and do most of what you need. There are plenty of sources in the Internet on how to use it too. That might satiate your needs.

    I’ll look into that.

    I can’t afford a real camera anyway. The one I have isn’t up to things like capturing motion or taking pictures at night, and I don’t think Photoshop can do anything about that.
