Earlier today I posted a picture and some thoughts about not feeling it and finding my picture. Well I still didn't really get to the point of 'feeling it' today, but I did get this frame that I really liked. It was at the Hotel Conneaut and this assignment started out looking a lot like the first assignment of the day, like it wasn't going to happen. I was told to show up around 7 and there was going to be bands playing a lot going on. I showed up and noticed how quiet it was, no bands..... this wasn't looking good. I finally noticed two people posing for a picture and framed them between two heads. When one of the people I was using as a frame noticed me(the shutter was virtually going off in his ear) he turned and I just snapped a picture at that moment. I got my picture....finally. Then a little while later I made this picture and just liked how the light worked out in. I held my fingers up partially blocking my flash. I liked how the woman sort of looks like she posing for a movie still. These sorts of things, the movement in the foreground and these sorts of lighting things...those are the things that grab me in a picture to take it into something beyond the ordinary. When ever I try to change my way of taking pictures(I do this every few years on purpose to challenge myself to see differently...to see more) I look for things like this, things that aren't comfrtable to me, but might be something that could become comfortable for me if I learn to use them...to learn to trust that I can still make a good picture.
