30 Day Challenge Day 23: One The Edge
March 7, 2021
30 Day Challenge Day 29: Life takes on many forms inside a context of individual expression. This I find very appealing to observe.
As you know, I am studying Contemplative Photography right now thanks to the excellent E-Book by @valeriejardin.
The first thing I did was look up the definition of the word.
Def: adjective
1. expressing or involving prolonged thought.
This got me thinking with regards to Images and how I create them.
My instincts and response time to a moment is very fast - with Zone Focusing, the Image is recorded and I am done.
Embracing Contemplation slows me down so much, I get twitchy feet - I want to WALK.
Contemplation to me means, watch, observe, thinking about what is going on right in front of me and be ready.
This moment features a young girl practicing her acrobatics on her Skateboard. While observing, I set my lens to 23mm, Aperture F11 and Auto ISO 640 with a Shutter Speed set to 1/250.
One more thing, I quickly set my Caneta to Burst mode Continuous High 8 Frames in one second.
