When we were traveling in the Southwest, I discovered that my camera has various effects, so I did a little experimenting. The one I enjoyed the most is called “vivid.” I used it a lot at the Grand Canyon (of which I have not posted yet). It definitely feels like cheating, but is it? I’ll let you ponder the philosophical gravity of that question on your own.
Here’s one photo I took of the evening sky by our house recently, plain and unadorned by fancy camera effects.
Here it is in “vivid” mode.
It’s fakey looking, but quite striking, no? I took a few more before retiring the camera that night.
The next morning, I came out early and the grass was all dewy and alight with the sun. No special effects from my camera were needed.
Behold, how good and pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
…It is like the dew of Hermon,
descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the LORD commanded the blessing –
Life forevermore.
But not blog forevermore; it’s gone as the dew dries up in the morning.
