Daylight was fading fast when I captured this scene, and a certain little something stopped me in my tracks.
Although I wanted to get a better image, this was the one that had to be shared because #isawhearts in my tea :) and those tiny bubbles didn’t last long. In fact, this was the only photo that captured them!
Today we have 7 hours 43 minutes and 23 seconds of daylight, and are gaining over a minute a day.
A cause for celebration, wouldn’t you agree?!
The shortest day has passed, and whatever nastiness of weather we may look forward to in January and February, at least we notice that the days are getting longer. Minute by minute they lengthen out. It takes some weeks before we become aware of the change. It is imperceptible even as the growth of a child, as you watch it day by day, until the moment comes when with a start of delighted surprise we realize that we can stay out of doors in a twilight lasting for another quarter of a precious hour
Vita Sackville-West
With my pretty white dining room curtains as a backdrop, and kk_Softhaze for processing, the background blew out and left the peony, jar, and chair in sharp focus. I then brought back some blacks, and whites, and upped the clarity. I also sharpened the overall image.
I am not a professional food photographer … not even close … and I don’t pretend to be.
