Shutter speed play

San Tan mountain is a beautiful area if you are into the desert-ish kind of stuff.  I have taken my mountain bike out there a few times and hiked around other times.  My most recent visit was about a week ago and I was playing around with shutter speed to enhance drama.  Who doesn’t like some drama?  HA!  Isn’t is crazy how much an image can change just by changing the amount of light?  It is just another opportunity to create your own unique style (call it drama) and see things your own way.  What is even more crazy is what the camera captures compared to what your eye sees.  The more awareness/education you have, the more you may see?  Have you ever wondered why it takes some people a very long time to get the shot, create the image?  They see things… they want to share what they saw and felt and somehow portray the emotion behind the image when it is viewed.  You can take a class full of photography students to the same 10 square feet of space and ask them all to take some photos and return.  Each student would have a different result.  I think life is like this-it is like this.  Some of us experience the same thing but so differently.  We may have 2 different versions of the same story-we saw it differently, we felt differently but yet experienced the same event.  Isn’t that awesome?  : )  It doesn’t make your picture/story/feelings right or wrong, it just makes it different from mine.  Our differences in art and life make the world go round!  Embrace differences, develop and share your style and talents and don’t try to be like another.  Be your own unique self!  Wow, I should step down now.  I was on a roll…  : )      (this is all too serious for me)
