Walking the shoreline
Ambient light
Augmentation
Splendid light distribution in the scene and balance of image tonalities render a winter morning on the Outer Banks.
“Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” – Harvey Mackay

Every step
Vigorous exertion
Passionate concern
Here is another image from my early morning Ambient Ambulation series. Performing as a dynamic participant of the diurnal cycle, when moving through the landscape using a LED flashlight as supplemental illumination, colors and shapes dominate in the predawn darkness. Like everything else in life, practice and dedication to an enterprise engenders progress.
