Serendipity and other 50 cent words

Picture
Forgive me, I'm going to go back to Monday's post and series of pictures again for a bit.  It really was serendipitous and stochastic and an epiphany and all those other 50 cent words.  By the way, a 50 cent word is defined by Merriam-Webster, as “an obscure word used to describe a simple idea thus making the user self-important.”  I think that those words certainly qualify.  Actually, in the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I have never heard of the word stochastic. 

All kidding aside, this set of photos did open my eyes (damn, I should have used eye-opening as well!).  In the past, I was much more likely to adjust things toward the underexposed side because I felt that it brought out the colors more but now I will be more likely to explore the opposite effect as well.  So this little experiment quite literally changed my perspective 100%.

I'm think I'm still going to keep my camera on aperture priority because, for the most part, it's the best way to ensure I get the picture that I want.  I happened to be reading David Jay's The System last night, a site that I bookmarked a couple of weeks ago but serendipity must have dictated that I read it now, go figure.  In it, he states, "Take advantage of auto-focus, auto-exposure, auto everything so you can focus on what matters.  Serving your clients, capturing beautiful moments, and making more friends."  Exactly what we were talking about the other day, only he put it a lot more eloquently.
