A few months passed . . . .

The Dancer
Life got in the way but I did take a lot of very ordinary photos.  I needed album fillers to chronicle the lives of my grandchildren which I took plenty of.  Then one day I had an opportunity to use light in a way that I had never done before.  I had a very bright background and instead of running from it, I placed my granddaughter along side it.  It didn't look as good in person as it did in the shot when I got it home.  I learned a lot with the photos from that day but this light lesson was the most important.  It's a stunning display of contrast in which it works for the photo, not against it.  I was definitely feeling that the time spent learning what I could in my spare time was beginning to pay off.
