Meditations of My Heart

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 in Black & White

I took this last month on the same day as some other posted photos. It was a good day for photography!

This has been cropped, the contrast adjusted, and a red filter applied. I like it!

For more monochrome photos visit Monochrome Weekend.
You can find Shadow Shot Sunday here.

Monochrome Scene

I like this old barn. I took its picture last November and used a green filter when I converted the color shot to black & white. It works for two memes--Monochrome Weekend and Scenic Sunday. Follow the links to see more great pictures!

Perfect Sky, Perfect Reflection

Last Sunday was gorgeous. I was the passenger and was able to snap these as we crossed a bridge.

Perfectly calm, just a few clouds.

Perfect for Skywatch Friday, Looking at the Sky on Friday, and Weekend Reflections. I hope everyone has a great week!
