~ finding the light within us

[via]

so my dears, I wished to post last evening,

sharing with you a favorite project,

still I did not.

you  do know these lines and you as readers and friends are very important,

 {I don't even  think I need to mention that}

still family members &  matters

come always first

and last evening turned out to be such a one

there are quite positive aspects taking place,

involving the renting of our current home through KP International,

finding the right technicians to work with

in our new place and

 time was taken just to let everything settle in ...

so many changes... 

then, as strange as it might sound, respect to you & my work put on this blog

is shown by offerring nothing less than the best I can each time,

and my best is to come here and post 

being totally conneted to myself,

much like now

I imagine that if such a quality would be a product,

it would be a very expensive one ; )

.............................

so, let me proceed to connetcting this post with the picture above,

which you may also see "live" {here}

from time to time there arrive mails,

 asking what do I do and manage to take pictures like that

with the main question being,

what is the issue with the light?

is it natural?

what settings are used?

so this post is made as a reference,

in order to share some facts and toughts with you

So here we go:

~ the light in my pictures is always natural, slightly enhanced in post processing,

~ the current equipment used are:

 a Sony A300 DSLR camera 

&

 a 50mm F1.7 Minolta lens

~ about the light...

in question of technical details on how to acheive making a picture 

looking like that, I suggest you turn to 

some of the numerous technical magazines out there,

as much as countless photography workshops 

offering such knowledge

still if you wish, a little hint from a slightly altered pespective can be shared

if it is light you are attracted to,

if it is beautiful light you wish to capture,

then just begin by searching for, discovering and appreciating your own,

personal, special & one of a kind light

within your heart & soul

we can only see in the world what exists in ourselves,

as the world is a reflection of who we are

it is impossible to miss the light and beauty of the world when

we connect to it 

and then through our adventurous quest in finding our light,

it would be wise to arm ourselves with courage,

healthy self love & self knowledge, 

hope, dignitiy & decency

as these will be our weapons though the times

that darkness will appear

but then remember it is through befriending ourselves

wtih difficulty, that easiness and light will come our ways

otherwise, no matter how hard we try,

no matter how successful we might become,

if we haven't really discovered the light within us, 

there'll always be something missing...

this one factor that makes life worthwhile & sweet 

even when it is sometimes bittersweet 

it takes courage, it certainly does,

but then there are so many courageous people out there like you!

see you in a while ~

{unless life changes occur again ; )}
