The light is all down here.
It was 90 degrees today with bright sunshine.
Come and get it!

May I suggest a pith helmet with a full spectrum lightbulb?

I have been having a terrible time with this gray lately. Like, sitting in bed crying type of gray. Perhaps if I went out during lunch to take wonderful photos like yours things will get better. Maybe if I hang out in front of the Westin I will get some celebrity photos, and be chased by angry celebrities, and get more exercise while I am at it.

Oh, gosh, I want to take another nap….

____________________________________
It’s so depressing, isn’t it? Go hang out at the Westin… take pictures of celebrities. Post them on your blog. It will help. I will come and make sunny comments about them. (on a related note, a friend of mine suggested I could increase traffic to my blog and there for increase my sales if I posted celebrity gossip. So, while you’re getting photos, dish me a little dirt, M’kay??) Feel better.

I think the gray has taken up residence in my part of the sky. It’s very gloomy.

This is a beautiful shot, as usual. I see you’ve either suffered through the manual or you’re just lucky and talented I’m working on a new camera early next year.

______________________________________
I haven’t opened the manual yet. . . so I guess, “lucky”?? I don’t usually bother with the manual unless I’m desperate. For starters, it’s all in a foreign language. I do not speak numbers. I’m convinced that there should manuals for cameras and math and physics all done in Super Model metaphors. Right? Because if they did that, I could get it. ~W

I adore Fall, but I suppose we get much more light here than you do. For me, it’s not just the light and the colors, but the scent of those leaves underfoot.

Beautiful photo. Can’t wait to see more.

Thank you. It still feels “off” to me. But I’m getting there. I should stay off of Flickr tho… because I see all those people who take AMAZING photos and start second guessing my every move. ~W

The weather(and especially the NW sunlight) is fickle, so why shouldn’t you be? I love the photo and your FIGHT for it. I enjoy all the seasons; I just love the changes from hot to cool to cold, sunny to rain and sometimes snow. Variety is the spice of life. It was a pretty day here today.

The seasons out here don’t feel distinct enough. It’s all gradations of winter. And honestly, I can’t stand it. But rumor has it, I won’t have to forever. ~W

I’m not sure if it’s fickle but changeable. If we didn’t change, we would just curl up and die so fickle must be a good thing. I love the colors in that picture.

The color works… the focus is all wrong. I love how you make me sound almost normal. ~W

That’s a lovely photo and it looks like you may have found a way to indeed find some light in the grey… fantastic! Today has been a dark, stormy, cloudy day for me – thank you for brightening it!

This lens might work, thank you!! I’m liking the product shots enough. You know, it’s not perfect, but I don’t like the “light tent” look on photos. So this thing is getting the job done. I still think the best solution is to move to California. ~W
