This morning I was in the process of trying to write a blog post for my new daily blog at Art of the Diet and an image in my catalogs didn’t jump out at me so I looked out the window.
My theme was focus and since photography is all about that, I looked around. When I saw my neighbor’s birds gathering on her shrub, I grabbed my camera and took several photos of the visiting birds, coming and going and staying. I varied the focus and the shutter speed. And, in the end, I layered the images together and had an image that had just one bird in sharp focus but others leaving and another just looking around.
It fit perfectly and even helped me clarify what i wanted to say. You can read it here.
Creativity sometimes is effortless. Other times? Not so easy.
