Credit Where It Is Due

Credit Where It is Due

I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Bench & Footbridge in B&W


This walkway is beside a marina. The water is so far down right now that all the slips are sitting on the bottom, but in a couple of months it will be full of water and ready for business. The footbridge leads to the patio of a restaurant which faces the street; there are also other footbridges which connect with other restaurants. It is a very pleasant walk, even without water!

Check out Scenic Sunday, Shadow Shot Sunday, and Monochrome Weekly to see great photos from all over!

I admire bridges in of every form and shape, and you caught this one very well with an interseting and difficult lighting.

Enlarging this I found the stone wall in the shadows.
From your description I think this would be a wonderful walk in any season.
Nice shadows!

The shadows are elegant. However, the sun's rays are powerful and extend to the ground. A lovely sight, the sun and shadows interacting in a vision of beauty. Nice!

Cassie said...

The black & white makes this shadow shot all the more enticing. I want to walk the path with my pooches and take a seat on the bench!

Unknown said...

I almost didn't see the bench, probably because my eyes wer drawn to the bridge, pathway and shadows.

Nice shot dimple. I like the atmospheric mood. BTW, the Molly widget thingy is too big and overlaps your photos.

Terry said...

dear dimple..i think that this bridge looks very romantic...leading to a restaurant.for a hot cup of tea and a toast..or is the restaurant more on the fancy style.
no matter..it would still be nice!
i love black and white pictures.
that is the only kind we had when i was a kid of 12 and beginning to snap pictures of my family...on a old browny 620 camera...love terry
