Penning Photography Daily

I kept seeing the sky full of dancing clouds today.

More than once, I wanted to grab my camera and rush outside to grab another spectacle in the sky. I kept bottling it up inside until I walked out after work. I was rewarded for my patience with clouds all around my head.

I grabbed my Panasonic LX3, and selected this setting for my one and only grab. I had a bunch of errands to do before heading to choir practice tonight, so I wanted to get a good one.

There’s something inside me that I’ve been training, with every snap of the shutter. The more I practice and reflect on what I’ve taken, the better I get at these quick compositions, especially if I don’t think about it much but go with what my inner instinct tells my hands to do. I really didn’t think about my composition. I kept walking as I opened and set my camera up, looked up and did a quick framing and single snap of the shutter. I kept walking, after a quick review on the back of the screen, hoping for the best.

This one reminded me of a large wave, calling out to the surfers on the shore to come ride the wild crest of nature.
