Photography, at its heart, is nothing more and nothing less than painting with light. An extremely tight focus, tipping the lens at a weird angle, extending the exposure, using a soft focus, or playing in the shadows: a multitude of tricks can reshape familiar things. Before long, the camera turns honest scenes into soft mysteries and outright abstractions.
Today,
I’m posting one of my favorite abstractions. It’s a tight shot of water beading
on the cover of my hot tub, captured in directional light.
