Exactly two years ago today, I used an 18mm lens to capture this image; and I don't know for sure, but that could possibly be the last time I used that lens. Wide shots and I don't always get along, but my photography teacher wanted us to compare fields of view produced by lenses of different focal lengths. Since then, I do find myself attempting to show more context in my photographs, but in tight makes me happiest. I like the the pretty light in this image, and adding it to my project brings back memories of the fun afternoon I spent on this assignment.
Mike and I always joke about our different shooting styles. His sweeping vistas of the beautiful vineyards we've had the pleasure of visiting show rows and rows of neatly tended grapevines — a stark contrast to my close-ups of grape bunches and vine tendrils. How fun it is to see the world through each other's eyes!
I praise you, Lord, for the many different ways of seeing and appreciating your countless gifts.
I envy you the beautiful light this room has. I too like the up-close captures verses the wide views. Interestingly enough, my husband prefers the spacious captures. We travel to Colorado and he comes home with dozens of mountain photos. Me, I've collected pictures of the details in pinecones, river rocks, and pika faces.
I'm with you on the praises for the individual ways of seeing the world around us.
This is gorgeous, Janet! Glad you took the challenge of getting a wide-angled shot in this case. I think I am more like you in that I like to get closeup views and macros. Yes, so glad God gave each of us eyes to see life and our environment from different perspectives which can serve to enrich our lives. :-) Fav
It's a beautiful image Janet and I loved reading your message and thoughts. Your sharp focus to details and ability to show what's most important in your images is a true gift. :)
absolutely gorgeous room and exceptional capture ~ fav
Is this your home? I enjoyed reading your comments about the different styles of you and your husband.
Yes. I love that we all have different ways of seeing too. I love your closed in compositions with attention to every detail and light play. The wide view is another skill in composition - you have the skills to do as you choose.
I love the warmth and homeliness of this view. I can imagine sitting at this table, feeling the warmth from the sunlight and breathing in the beautiful aroma of the fresh flowers. All while enjoying a warm cuppa with engaging conversation among friends. Janet, your beautiful soul definitely shines through here.
