Last Super Moon of the Year (part ii)
The Last Super Moon of the year wasn’t done. Last night before heading home from a long day of work, I was rewarded with these beauties. I truly love a great moon shot, even just being present for this makes my whole month or maybe year (we shall see what the rest of the year …
COVID-19 Won’t Be The Last
This blog and most things I do online involve the art/photography world. But in my day job (and night time when I am on call ?) I am a healthcare professional and someone who truly cares about the well being of humanity. I also do a podcast on the idea of Harming Less that should …
PSA For Fuji and Sony Shooters
For shooters of Fuji and Sony (I shoot both) I’d say give Capture One Express a go. What is Capture One Express? Capture One Express is a free version done in co-operation with Fuji and Sony to give a free and powerful RAW editor tool to get the best colors out of the files. Why …
February is Special
The full moon on 02092020 was a powerful one that felt really right for me personally and I hope it was also a powerful one for you. As I stated in my Underwater1 post, I use photography as my outlet, and more than anything lunar photography is the most restorative form of photography for me. …
Underwater
Underwater is how I feel right now as I’m writing this (and for that matter a great deal of the time lately). I feel like a person out of time and place. I don’t think I’ve ever fully felt like I truly belonged. But sadly most won’t notice or perhaps care. Social platforms are anything …
Fortunate Ferns
I find ferns extremely intriguing. They’re so resilient, able to thrive in many diverse environments. The fern probably existed in the times of the dinosaurs. This makes them as cool as we consider the dinosaurs (okay maybe that’s a stretch). Take the time to smell the ferns next time you see them. CWDaly
Endings
Sometimes you get something attached to you that you didn’t do. “Be kind to each other, be kind to yourself” is part of my ending statement in “Outlet“. It was expressed to me that it is very similar to another podcast’s ending statement. I sometimes listen to and share this show to my followers on …
85mm FTW
With my recent foray into portraiture photography, I have decided to add the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Lens (affiliate link) to my stable of lenses. And wow… what a great lens this is. I was using the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens (affiliate link) as my go to for portraiture work, but …
No Outlet
Sometimes we feel trapped, not able express the way we truly feel. And when we do express the way we feel, we get called out by people who have no clue of who we are or what we are experiencing. EM from Emulsive.org has re-shared “Where To From Here” (the original is here, but the …
You Don’t Need Much
I very often see creatives expressing how the latest and greatest in gear gets them to create their best work. But I think we very often are using new gear as a crutch… perhaps using it to get us motivated to create new work (which isn’t wrong all together). I say when you get to …
Hazy First Full Moon of 2020
First full moon of 2020 happens to have been a hazy one here in South Florida. This hazy moon was spending most of the time lurking behind heavy clouds peeking out very infrequently. Sat out in the calm just rained front yard of my house waiting for a display long enough to capture some frames …
Peter Hurley Father of the Squinch
Peter Hurley Father of the Squinch I have been a fan of Peter Hurley’s work for some time, and was honored (honoured) to have him on Through My Lens with Clay Daly (which can be heard on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, or any podcast app) . Especially as I am currently exploring his field of photography …
Another Night Out
On the night of 12132019, the night after I captured my last full moon of 2019, I tried to see if perhaps I could capture the last possible glimpse of a waning gibbous moon. This night was supposed to be the absolute last night of capturing a close to full moon (waning gibbous). I reached …
