I really felt the changing of the seasons in March. The warmth the sun brought, the extended days, the birds singing. It feels like hope.
And along with that I feel my photography and my art is also growing and developing.
My March
Day 63
- Settings = F1.8 1/500 ISO 4000
- Process = Exposed for available light.
- Inspiration = Working from home on our new desk set up. Side by side with Ric. Harvey sitting between us when he returns from school. I looked up at this wall hanging and it said it all.
Day 65
- Settings = F14 1/4 ISO 3200
- Process = Long shutter speed to capture movement. F stop and ISO for exposure.
