As I was looking over my take for the week, it dawned on me just how much I depend on lines of direction as part of the design of my images. \u00a0I teach these principles all the time, but use them without much thought! \u00a0 Actually that is as it should be, we \u00a0should naturally use the devices that work to make and image work, almost without thought, we should sense, when they are working.<\/p>\n

Finally my favorite image from the week, a simple shot of my cross lying in the table next to my lounge chair at the pool, casually shot, but carefully designed in my minds eye. \u00a0Below the lines that make up the composition and below, the actual shot.<\/p>\n

Effective images are the result of careful design. \u00a0God’s plan for our lives is also a very careful, divine, design. \u00a0Nothing is an accident after we place our lives in His hands, everything tht happens, happens for a reason. \u00a0His reasons may be hard to understand, but they always yield His will, and His will is what we should always be seeking.<\/p>\n

*Technical Note on last shot: \u00a0Made with a point and shoot camera in close focusing mode. \u00a0The image was processed with Nik Color Efex 3.0 Glamour Glow filter and then re-filtered with Topaz Spicey to give it that grit. \u00a0Further processing was done with increased, Contrast, saturation and added amounts of Red and Yellow color balance to make the gold in the cross and reflection in the table pop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
