Day Twenty-six - Impressionism

As much as I love our bedroom... I find the lighting in this one particular room of our house to be absolutely horrid. You can't take a picture in there for anything. But here I was tonight, trying to take pictures in a bloody dim room... with no flash, because, y'know... I hate using a flash.

End result... camera iso jacked up to 1600 and I get dark grainy photos...

DUH!


but...I did like the look of a few of them... they had a soft fuzziness that rather put me in mind of impressionist painters. Why can't one be an impressionist photographer if one so chooses, deliberately manipulating the camera for textures and edges that are not sharp and clear?

it bears pondering...
