Reviewing my camera chops in real brought me to write this.
On Found Light by Michael Doyle It's not so much the light But where you're in it To get this just right You have know where to bend it The shadow can kill your shot Whatever the ambient light Let this never be forgot It's about catching that sight Sometimes it's the delicate feeling That captures the view The view that is soul revealing It's about the adjustments you'll do To make the best exposure last It's best to remember the contrast You can bring back details from the shadow But the over exposed, you'll never know The higher the ISO, the more detail Your stops from darkness will deliberately reveal The lower the ISO, you'll tackle the bright To reduce your camera's sensitivity to light Too high an ISO makes images grainy Filled with noise that is unneeded maybe Manipulating this sort of light sensitivity Opens up a wide range of photo creativity Front light can cause and image to be flat Back light can enhance mystery in fact Hatchet light can be tough to see And the chin music of below light can be quite eerie Light from above is great for interrogation Use all of these shapes of light in integration Yet, the softness of Rembrandt lighting subtly Gives the shadowed depth of richness like harmony Ambient light is infinite in it simplicity That can create images of amazing complexity Light against light is a matter of interplay It helps you tell the full story of your day Brushing light across the canvass of your day Captures the moments for what you want to say The best shots, however, are in even light As the day transcends into the softness of night (c) April 16, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
