Shooting in the Dark


lately when i get up and head out for my walk it’s pretty much pitch dark.  i kind of like it – like the world is still under the covers and hasn’t quite started to stir just yet. i feel like it’s a really soulful and peaceful way to start the day.


i’ve had my eye on a cactus plant that i could see was getting ready to bloom.  they have such gorgeous white flowers, but they are short-lived.  so i took my camera even though it was pretty dark out there, hoping it would be light enough to shoot it by the time i got to the plant. 


well, not really, and with no tripod i had to use a high iso (or flash); hence, the noise, but i do think they are kind of dramatic.




you never know!!
