For the past couple of weeks, each time as I come and go from my apartment, I keep noticing how much I like the way this street lamp looks set against the blossoms of this tree, so this afternoon I decided to try and take a photo of it with my cell phone as I was leaving.
I know there is something to be said for the time of day, and lighting and such, as well as the quality of one’s camera when trying to capture a scene, but I can’t be bothered about all of that in my daily comings and goings ~ I just have to grab opportunities here and there as I go along. So here’s how it turned out looking at around 1:00 this afternoon ~ and after I tweaked it a bit with some photo editing software…
I’m sure the little glowing ball smudge thingies are probably considered a fault or mistake to do with the lighting or something, but I actually like the effect they add to the photo. It’s all in the eye of the beholder right?
Heck, you might even be thinking “big deal… it’s a street lamp, and a tree… not exactly something to write about…” but I guess it’s the simple every day things that tend to float my boat.
You know the saying “take time to stop and smell the roses?” Well, I take that to heart on a regular basis. There is beauty all around us if we only pause long enough to notice it…
