learn photography – 10 – black & white
I’ve had a bit of a problem with my computer so my submission for Raj’s black & white lesson was on the back burner for the past week. I decided to challenge myself during this lesson by using a 50 mm lens and manual focus during a rain storm. The outcome of my exploration with various f-stops was hampered by the – sigh – a very limited experience and trust with manual focus.

Before the rain, I decided to explore the interactions of the histogram and shutter speed in the Nikon D750 while photographing the arrival of autumn.

spring rain-
all things on earth
becoming beautiful

spring rain…finally
after the rain
100 days…49th day
rain falls –
a memory of last year
left by a cloud
100 days 47th day
In an old temple
deep in Mount Koya,
Kii Province,
I listen to raindrops
falling from a cedar tree.

Almost dark, and yet
today still lingers

100 days…39th day
Nothing
in the world
is usual today
Sorrow is…
evergreen
100 days…38th day
Through the years
I’ve become used to sorrow,
there was not one spring
I didn’t leave behind
the flowers.

100 days…37th day
If I say
this or that,
how ordinary grief becomes –
broken cries are the words
that sorrow’s voice demands
