Imput from my best fan

My best fan (daughter) feels that I'm neglecting my blog and frittering my time away on less worthy endeavors. It started out subtle enough "cough cough.. journal cough" escalating too "now instead of going out for coffee with your friends update your damn journal!". If only my life was that simple. So today its Saturday, I have a chance to go to Ken Helms farm. Sure I have a ton of things I should do, but with Amanda's urging's in the back of my mind, I'm off on an adventure to Cawston.

I'm sure glad I went, this is one of many pictures that I took at ken's farm. I can't wait to go through them, I knew this was a keeper the minute I clicked the shutter. The day was very overcast and dull, tough light to shoot. Occasionally the sun would peep out and shine through the holes in the barn roof. I set up and waited, just brief rays of light then gone. The sun would light the left wall for a minute which was better but not great, then I reached down and grabbed a handful of dust and tossed it into the air as a ray of light pierced into the dim barn. Bingo! patience is truly a virtue and a touch of luck sure helps. Thanks To Ken Helms for letting us shoot on his farm, it is truly a wonderland for photographers and to Amanda for getting me to pick up my camera bag. On top of that we stopped and had a coffee as well.
