Wise words. One of the things I like doing is taking photos around the house and in the backyard. Amazing to me that we've lived here for over 20 years and I still see new photo opportunities. One of the things I love is the window light (if it's sunny) that comes into our kitchen around 6pm in the springtime and summer months. It's only there for about 10 minutes, but if my wife is at the stove cooking up her latest gastronomic creation, I'm taking photos from the other side of the counter (and helping prepare dinner of course!). She and the scene are backlit, so anything on the stove has this glorious light pouring onto it. Here again, that particular light is only coming through that kitchen window for only about 10 minutes -- if I'm too soon then it's not yet there; if I'm a bit late then the light is gone. Ah well there's always tomorrow :)

Light is magic when it hits just right. I know exactly what you mean.

Great content, today! Digital and subsequently phones were supposed to free us up to snap away with abandon but did not do much for me when I first bought a DSLR in 2006.

Yep, photography is all about light Kenneth. Also, it’s not what you see so much as how YOU see it 👍📸

[@kennethwajda]

Agree. :-)

Indeed. In past roles I have been in the position of attempting to teach people “how to see” in composition mode, whatever form that may be - shapes and lines or color juxtapositions. Unfortunately that is something that fundamentally cannot be “taught”, but rather encouraged. Thanks for another interesting video.

It’s unfortunate that so many photographers seem to be reluctant to take the ‘simple’ shots. Maybe because in our social-media dominated world, there is a tendency to feel that every shot has to be a ‘stunning blockbuster’. I love your example of a capturing an everyday moment on film.
