"Ideas pull the trigger, but instinct loads the gun" --Don Marquis Day 126 of 365 Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
One of the main reasons for undertaking this 365 Project was to force myself to think outside of the box but also to create images quickly. After all, each shot, for the most part, would be shot, processed, and uploaded in a day. For today, I wanted a shot of my electric guitar (which is just gathering dust these days). I envisioned something very minimal - I'm on a minimalist kick right now, if you couldn't tell - and not seen before (at least by me). After a bit of trial and error - well, mostly error - I ended up simply sliding a sheet of printer paper under the strings and shooting from straight above. That is good lesson learned - the solution to your creative problem is most likely very, very simple. Don't over think things.

"When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself." -Tecumseh Sunlight streams through a small dried Incrediball Hydrangea bloom set in front of my office window. The processing workflow for the 11 frames shot for this image was Lightroom to Helicon Focus (focus-stacking) back to Lightroom then to Photoshop with help from Nik Color Efex and Topaz Texture Effects, Glow, and Impression.
