This rather dramatic light level change seems to be only one of two that are in store for the Chicago area. I’m hearing either 1-3 or 2-7 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. That said, thought I should add the light level difference behind the flowers that I found early one morning before a recent class at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Just under-expose the shot by metering for the bright areas and letting the rest of the scene go dark. Be prepared.
About Jack
A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.
The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.
Each photograph tells a story.
