"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." --John Muir Shot on a quiet, albeit cold and very icy, walk through the St. Francis Seminary Woods in St. Francis, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee along the shore of Lake Michigan. Day 97 of my 365 photo-a-day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
“We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness” ― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness Looking at this image, I imagine an intrepid explorer journeying deep into the dark, foreboding, and totally unexplored jungle. Danger lurks behind every tree. Will he find the lost civilization? Probably not, since this is a macro shot of a the base of a small fake plant we have in our house. The adventurer may find some lost dust bunnies or perhaps a marble or two hidden there by my son. Day 109 of 365 Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
I was inspired to take this shot as I fixed a quick breakfast for my son this morning. It was a quick set up with only one DIY light and natural light from the office window - both on camera left. Shot with a tripod and my 50mm, it's a 5-shot 32-bit HDR image, processed in Photoshop with help from Topaz Impression and On1 Perfect Effects 10.
