Meditations of My Heart: flower

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.

Charismatic Columbine

I've been playing with Picasa again!

This image of a columbine blooming in front of my house has been cropped slightly and

the mid-tone light increased just a little.

"Orton-ish"

Infrared black and white--dramatic!

"Holga-ish"--I like this black and white rendition.

This is the color inverted, so it resembles a color negative.

I love these colors!

"HDR-ish"

I am getting to like this conversion...

And now, an HDR-ish portrait of the fly...

Remember?

Or maybe you don't need to! Maybe you can still enjoy these in reality!

They were in a display at a store last October,

begging to have their picture taken!

The Weekend in Black and White

As I was preparing this shot, I found a tiny reflection, too.

Do you see it?

And just because I haven't participated in a while, this is also for

Shadow Shot Sunday.

Good week to everyone!

These beauties, and the gladiolas in the previous post,

Red and Yellow Columbine

It was wonderfully sunny today, but this plant was in a shady spot.
I think columbines are wonderful, they are perennial and also
reseed freely. I even have a few in my lawn!

Check out Mellow Yellow Monday and Ruby Tuesday!

Mother-in-law's Tongue Blossom

Many people I have talked with do not know that this plant blooms. In fact, I didn't, either until my sister-in-law told me about one of hers that did. It is also called Snake Plant. The Latin name is Sansevieria trifasciata.
