"The wish to capture evanescent reflections is not only impossible... but the mere desire alone, the will to do so, is blasphemy. God created man in His own image, and no man-made machine may fix the image of God. Is it possible that God should have abandoned His eternal principles, and allowed a Frenchman... to give to the world an invention of the Devil?"

...And As The Music Played .....

Music and light - what a combination! We are often shooting in really adverse conditions, dipped in mud or cold water, under rain and strong wind. Shooting these photos was a pleasant change. Though admittedly one of us still favours nature photography trying something different can be an attractive challenge.
