12 - My Definition of Perfection

Canon 40D 10-22mm at 22mm, iso 100, 1/90 sec at f4.5 +CLP

The perfect storm for a great evening. Sunset on Biscayne Bay with skating light shining on a sloop sailing below the fullmoon and of course four beautiful friends on the bow of the catamaran. I wasn't going to post this but after reading "Finding Your Photographic Style" by TJ Avery I felt that it more reflected my style and who I am better than the other image I was going to post. If you are looking for your style or just want to try and figure out who you are I encourage you to read TJ's article. This article very much reflects the name of my blog Svadhyaya which in sanskrit means "self study".

I picked this name as this is a very important aspect of my yoga practice and I know that with continued practice in photograph that too will help me on my journey.

Thanks TJ for your svadhyaya...

Excellent photo, Mike. What a great scene with a lot of beauty :-)

Thanks for mentioning my article too. We can learn so much and grow as photographers and people if we slow down and take a deep look within ourselves. Self study can be a really great thing :-)

90 - Peace

Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1.5 sec at f/11.0, +CPL Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. HH The Dalai Lama
