Did I get your attention?!
My thoughts are still congealing, so today will be a photo post. Sorry for the big, ugly watermark, but I'm contemplating selling prints online (opinions, please) and would like to curtail freebie clippings.
I took these of a campfire we had last weekend.
And then I played with the saturation and hue for some fun.
Photographing fire is a fun, though smoky, endeavor. I actually used my "sports" preset for a super-fast shutter speed. The rest is about timing - waiting for the wind to blow the smoke out of the way of the flame and getting the camera to focus on the flame. Sure, I smelled woodsy and had bloodshot eyes for the rest of the day, but I think it was worth it.
