"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment." --Henry David Thoreau "Unless you paddle for the wave, you'll never know if you could catch it. But once you do... Ride it as long as you can. Love as long as you can." --Abigail Spencer This wave of blues lines and curves is simply a macro shot of a loosely rolled cloth ribbon on a white background. My goal was to capture an etherral image with a very little in focus. That way the spotlight of the image would be abstract, like a mood or emotion, rather than a tangible object. For the extremely narrow depth of field, I kept my f-stop on my 5omm (I used extension tubes) at f/1.8 and moved the camera in and out and around to find interesting shapes, shadows, implied motion and repeating patterns. I finished the image with very minimal post-processing. Just a wide crop - 3:1 aspect ratio - and color-correction, a touch of sharpening, and the normal border patrol (spot removal).

The weather is partly cloudy with plenty of sunshine. Or at least it was in my office today. And I have pictures to prove it! Day 286 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com
"The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." --Christopher McCandless A line on the horizon in a field of whites and greys where sky meets water. This is Lake Michigan in very simple form. Day 249 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com
