It’s nice to get out and shoot again (photography, that is). I especially enjoy my new connections with the Northern Exposure Photo Group. I’ve shot mostly alone over the years. Now widowed, and being home bound for awhile, I especially like visits with other photo enthusiasts. My photography focus is a bit second chair to the pleasure of new acquaintances.

I am looking skyward - it’s a good direction for me now. I’m afraid I fumble a bit trying to get an image I like in the dark. Filters help hide my lack of clarity and I kind of like playing with the myriad of options to get a look I like. My equipment is not geared for night photography, but that’s ok - I’ll make do fumbling with what I have. I like to make something out of nothing!

This mindset is a change for me. I am used to buying the best equipment for my photography passion. Now I am looking for capturing a feel, a mood, personal inspiration, a message from nature, raw beauty. Sharpness, depth of field, even tonal control are secondary now. I guess I am a want-to-be artist.
