Variations on a theme

When I took this pic, I didn't know about focus locking on the light source. I just made sure that the interior was as dark as possible and that the flash was off. Learning about focusing on the light source will be helpful for future attempts.

That's a great pic, and thank you for the tips on how you did it.

I'm aware this theme has been a struggle for some, but I do think that a challenge makes things more rewarding...

Yes this is all new to me so it's something I'll be practicing so that if you do this theme again I'll hopefully have some new skills to show off.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their tips on how to get the best results

What is extraordinary about this picture, Angel, is it invokes a ballerina taking to stage like something Degas would paint!

Sometimes you do get lucky with a handheld selfie and the sunset

Thanks. I've been looking for a thread like this for a while on Lit.. So glad I found it. Photography is a big hobby of mine, so this a great place to get creative.

Thank you. I would want to make some color adjustment to the color of the sky, but I love this pic as well, it is one of the first pics I've taken of Bald Eagles.

I know this is very similar to one I’ve posted before but this pic was just taken 20 minutes ago. I didn’t edit it other than a slight crop. It was to beautiful and fitting of the theme so I had to share.

Thank you, Salty! Means a lot.

Such a beautiful compliment, LI (? Diver? not sure of your nickname, if you have one), and a generous one as well.

Too cool!

Thanks, Mr. A!
