Default In the midst of Darkness there is light....

Bit of a glorified title fer a candle shot with a point and shoot lol !!



aaaand a stapler shot in a makeshift light box (actually a piece of paper and long exposure ..... I used my older point and shoot to do the lighting as my bulb went pop on the lamp earlier today .... hence the long exposure..



Anyways Hope you like since I rarely oppost anything till get better camera lol !

The candle shot is fantastic. Love the color in the stapler. Point shoot is just a tool. It is the Photographer that makes the photo come out of the background. Good job.

I do love both of these - I think it takes more skill to do something fantastic when you have limited tools, than when you have a fully manual professional camera at your command! Lovely stuff.

Cheers
Jane

I have to say since being here I rarely use the auto modes now on the camera or if I do use them it is never full auto unless testing exposure etc... you guys have taught me loads for that I am extremely gratefull

Don't get "miffed" over not receiving comments on your shots. Remember that this forum is "Share your Shots" . Even some of the Senior Members here do not get any comments. This is a place to SHARE what YOU have created. And you have some great talent emerging from your photography. Chin up! Camera down and Shoot! Keep posting the photos.
