TODAY'S PHOTO -
seaweed and sea grasses on Delray Beach at high tide at sunrise

Whenever I went to the blog recently I particularly enjoyed seeing the thumbnails of the NATURal Collages in Issues 132 and 133. Those are now beyond the 10 current issues showing, so the thumbnails are no longer visible. The photos and issues are there to see in the archives.

This being the case I decided to bring back the moisture and brightness of the seaweed images by featuring another photo from that July 4th sunrise walk. The early morning bright sunlight, is the dominant element that makes this work so well for me. In addition, I chose this particular image for the colors and the movement.

Regarding lighting and timing - I went for another, almost-sunrise, beach walk earlier this week. It was low tide. The seaweed pieces, several feet away from the water, were bland and uninteresting and the patterns left by the water pulling back on the sand were almost non-existent.

SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Are you aware of what the differences in timing and light can do to and for your favorite images? What do timing and light do for you?

Do you know the hours during the day when you shine and reflect the most light? If so, do you use this information? If light has an empowering effect on you, how do/can you compensate when it's absent?

Thanks to my friend Judith Tramayne-Barth who showed me what Delray Sunrise looks like on her screen, I now have the image full-size on my desktop. Morning light is now available always.
