Fine Art Photographer
I rarely make the morning light but today out the door 7:05 coffee in my vest pocket, the air crisp with the warning of HOT to come soon.
What camera? For the camera is what makes the image great. D-3100 kit lens. It is the archer not the arrow Chaz told me in the 70’s or today.

Today a tight calf made me wonder how far my stroll would be, a very short walk indeed worth ever step.
I look at this fence often today back light softened by leafs. Bending for one, two images review. Pain it will be a short walk confirmed.
Looking up love it dizzy. Maybe around the corner. Breath deeply once twice onward to another glimpse of the light .
A knot plays in the sun shadowed by leafs and a thin cloud cover. Bending ya this is the far end of my walk. Adjustments to contrast ISO again the fence beckons.
The Fence a playmate and teacher today focal points and DOF how low can the shutter speed go? Today 1/25 of a second bending and holding my breath. Touch the top of the fence steady, still deep breath. Home slowly sit down a drink.
It may seem a simple subject but to me far more. Light creating motion made still in my image that then implies the motion, the light dances becomes an emotion. Simplicity is the hardest concept to grasp.

July Adventures and Tomatoes
July 18 just up the street. The 1.4 pound 70-300 zoom that I can hand hold and focus? Still not a clue why this Quantaray lens for a film camera gives me all the exposure info on the diggie screen and image file? The lens is much heavier then other Nikon lens I can’t focus. It helps for the subject to be higher contrast. On a crop censor Nikon D3100 effectively almost 500mm.
July 20th another short walk
Today the 21st a long walk out 10:30 prior to the real warmth of the day. A mile and 1/3 kit lens. The lungs working well this week. Out at Elza’s recently down through the field to the river wander and see but no images. Back up the very steep hill. Breathing near normal. Now the heat has arrived with sun resulting in tomatoes.
A couple of silly sniffers outside my door. The Fifth of July.
July 21st, about ten minutes ago. I had another image but in a world of immediacy well it is only a 20 step walk. Breaking New Image. These tomato landscapes these beauties and delivering daily and the other three varieties this week. Let the salads and sauce begin.
