Great Light

Great light. That is what it is all about! Just shot this going to Procter's. This low horizon sunlight created warm tones. Coupled with the dark storm clouds creates the dynamic opposite that we look for. Shot with iPhone 4, using Camera+ App. Always have a camera with you. Enjoy, Jeff

Morning Light at the Basilica

I consider this one of my best images. Taken at St. Peter's Balicia in Rome, July 1995 about 9 AM. I used a Minolta Autocord TLR camera with a fixed Rokkur 75 mm lens and Fuji Reala film. I decided to use an incidental light reading with a Gossen Luna pro meter to get the fastest shutter speed at f 5.6, which was 1/15 sec. Perching the camera on a charity box ( cum tripod) I started shooting my 12 exposures on the roll. This was the last image, the capture of a young couple in love in front of this beautiful light. You don't need a complicated DLSR to take a great photo. You just need to be in a good place , know your equipment on hand and understand light and how to expose for it.
