In this pandemic, I am not especially getting a lot of outside time, right? But, I am sort of reviewing photography fundamentals. Anyone else studying anything or reviewing anything while a whole lot of inactivity is going on?
At the Speed of Light (Embrace the Blur) by Michael Doyle The spigot controls the flow Filling up the empty sink Photo taken on the roll Heavy in exposure explored on the brink Time imperceptible to hear Yet, the shutter speed renders clear A millimeter can be a mile When it comes to capturing a crocodile smile Throwing up grinder sparks to me Lays it out quite eloquently Locked down without hurry To avoid the appearance of being blurry Water drops hang like drops in air With slight change, we arrange Until it's a curtain dividing with care Seemingly effecting almost a phase change The longer the lens the quicker the speed It depends on the shot for what you'll need Between the effects of speed is a lot of play Depending on how artistic you want to be that day Anticipating the moment Is crucial to the shot Sometimes in less than a minute You must decide before it's forgot Though even a blind hog Gets an acorn once in a while And even a wagging dog Can capture a heart's smile Conversely, with a slow light Motion can be captured just right Just a little dab of blurring Can convey motion occurring To capture fast or slow Is more a feeling than a know The joy of heartfelt connection Guides that direction Unafraid to go beyond the obvious To capturing the iconic and not oblivious Is the use of ghosting or panned action All the to photographer's satisfaction (c) April 5, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
