When One Door Closes Another Opens

Door Closes, Another Opens When one door closes , another opens ; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. Alexander Graham Bell When one door closes, another one opens, so they say. Breathe. Well the time is right. I finally took the big step(s) on my personal photography journey: (1) I started a new Facebook business page: Wendy H. Blomseth Fine Art Photography that will be a new platform to promote my fine art photography endeavors in addition to this blog and my identity at http://www.mnartists.org/wendy-h-blomseth Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter, etc. I've got a lot of work to do on it but I am excited to confidently build this brand. (2) It seemed only fitting and proper, therefore, that I immediately proceeded without hesitation to finally delete the InBeaute Photography business page that I had held onto for so many extra years after we actually closed down

A Virtual Hug Coming Your Way

It's warm today but the weather will change and you'll wish you had a warm scarf or shawl that will arrive with my virtual hug. Wrap yourself up, feel my virtual hug and yes, go ahead and hug yourself. You deserve it. https://shopvida.com/collections/wendyhblomseth

2:05 Video: How to Create a Still Life Portrait

You may be interested in how one can easily create a still life portrait. This 2:05 video demonstration is while working at our cabin in northern Minnesota with the minimum of technology. Some of the key things to think about are: The angle and intensity of the sun How you're going to control it and bounce it back into the subject Backdrop material, hopefully without a lot of wrinkles (I've never ironed so much since my mother made me do it.) Needs of the flowers so they stay fresh looking Angle of the table top the object is sitting on Angle of the surface the camera is placed on Angle of the camera to the subject Reducing camera shake by setting a delayed release Next time I'll bring up a few more tools. But really, it's all about how the light is directed on and around the subject and getting your angles straight.
