Picture This

How are you supposed to take a moment

And freeze it long enough

For you to paint or draw it?

Photography is the answer.

 

Capturing a moment in time

It can be of anything

Buildings, People, Nature, Ideas,

Events The one I favor most is nature.

Being able to take in God's creation

As long as I like

Things that stand out most to me are

Bright, bold colors brought together

In such an admirable way

A color by itself is nice, two colors are pretty,

But many colors are beautiful.

 

The peculiar thing about sunrises and sunsets is

No two of them are alike

You could call it God's painting of the day

Each one is special

Pictures obtain the earth's beauty

And transform it into a memory.

 

Consideration of several things is necessary when

Taking a picture

Light, shading, size, focus, background

And the list continues

Enhancing each likable feature to the best of your ability and

Toning down unwanted ones.

 

First, find one of the most gorgeous scenes in your life

And capture it so to speak

Even though the picture does not do

Justice to the image in reality.

 

Second, take your "capturer"

And focus it to make the scene look as

Real and lovely as possible.
