@jacqbb love low key portrait, but want to try with a low key photo of obcjects next time... Thank you for this opportunity to test myself!

@frappa77 Brilliant portrait, love your use of low key here! Fav. See you again with a future challenge!

[April]

Hi! We are get-pushed partners for this coming week. Your challenge is to try some refraction photography. You can use water droplets, water in a glass, marbles, or a crystal ball. Here's an article to get you started: https://expertphotography.com/refracted-light-photography/

If you'd prefer a different challenge, just let me know and I'll set another.

OMG Francesca -- I was JUST looking at photos of you that I took when I met you and then! An email popped in saying that you had looked at and commented on my photo of mine from a week or more ago. Clearly, we are on each other's minds! This self-portrait is beautifully done, so moody and so atmospheric. I hope your true mood of the moment is not reflected in this, but that instead the is an artistic creation, well done. My annual trip to Italy has been canceled again, so two years in a row, I won't be able to see you. But I'm looking forward to the time when we CAN visit again, and until then, please stay healthy and sane!

Thank you so much for your sweet comments...
I am fascinated by the use of light in photography and every now and then I try to experiment with it with my rudimentary gear...

My dear Junko, of course you are in my thoughts... The time spent together is impossible to forget and the desire to meet again is big... Despite my love for black, I continue to see life in colours and to hope! I send to you a big hug! :)
