RE: Winter Night Lights

It’s gang territory.

You're brave, if a gang ever stops you, you know what to do, start spitting some of your bars πŸ”₯πŸ’£πŸ’₯πŸ”«

I’m out of the hood now

Glad you made it out of there safe! 😎
I imagine you as a Gangsta Nines with the hoodie on, dark night, taking pics ready for the war with the hazards of the world! 😎


I love all of your pictures, my favourites are LIGHT TUNNEL, DISTORTED PATH and TREELIGHT SHOWER

But I also love the 3 YELLOW ZIG ZAG and the BLUE BOTTLE GLOW!

I think as I said earlier I love them all and it's hard to choose the best, you got some great way of taking this crazy pics, how do you do it?

Hope your weekend is going to be a good one 😎

Not so much brave as aware and spitting bars would incite things I wouldn't want, lol. Every situation is different and you have to be attuned in the moment to what that is, then you know what to do. Avoided many things that way.

No gansta here, I look quite ordinary, lol. Was out taking photos last night and for whatever reason, three different strangers initiated conversation with me (see, no scary gansta here). It's the camera, it's always the camera. If it were a phone, no one would notice. πŸ˜‚

Thanks for all the kind words you've left for me to read @trippymane, I appreciate that. I can't pick one favourite out of this bunch either, there's several I like for different reasons, you've hit most of them, LOL!

how do you do it?

Short formula for anything creative, anything in life:

Practice, practice, practice. Patience. Practice, practice, practice. Patience. Learn everything you can wherever you can. Patience. Practice, practice, practice. After you do enough practice, you stop thinking about what you're doing, the technical aspects and it becomes a highly intuitive natural process. To really take anything to it's peak of experience, you must become it.

As an example, the photography I do, while I am shooting it, I am one with tool, subject matter, and the camera lens becomes my eye. Whatever I am intuitively pulled to as subject matter, I shoot. Not every shot is going to be good, many are mediocre, some garbage, some are really great shots. I don't give that any thought, I focus only on what I'm doing in the moment. That's how it works for me.

Thanks and hope you have a good weekend also! πŸ€—

I see, good to know you're aware this world is a dangerous place and know how to keep yourself safe! Avoiding the fight at times is winning the fight!

I know you're not a gangsta ahah but I just imagined you in that character for a short moment when I was writing that comment lol

A pleasure, cool to see that I've spotted the ones you like πŸ‘€ we may be wired in a similar way then πŸ˜‚
To be honest I really liked DISTORTED PATH too but it did scare me a bit, it resonates to me as the Scary Distorted Path we've got to walk every day, the one that we call Life!

Your formula is indeed the right formula to get good at whatever you want in life, kudos to you and to all the time you spent practising, it shows in the pictures, some are incredible IMHO!

Thank for your explanation, now I see how you become one thing with the camera and your creative process. Very inspiring 😁

Thanks and hope you have a good weekend also! πŸ€—

Thanks a lot πŸ€—

That's kind of what was in my mind at the time, have shot this light path thing a few different times now (another one last, night, lol).

Hahaha, glad to shed some light on the process. I'm simplifying it, but that's the general approach. Thanks! 😊

Congratulations for being able to express exactly that with just 2 words and a picture πŸ‘€πŸ™Œ

LOL! Thank you!
