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.

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.
