Analogy of Shutter Speed

(pics above:a process of taking a shot with a long exposure time, for the result see the photo in the end of this post :D )

As a freelance photographer (in my free time only ;p), I have learnt a lot of skills and techniques in order to create wonderful photos. One of the most important and interesting part is a “Cameranalogy” of shutter speed. In a dark room, if we open the shutter for long enough, it will capture all available light, and guess what, a picture of the dark room can be captured brightly!! Fantastic right?

Same as our life, we often complain when we are in the “dark room”. We can see nothing and we all are panic!! But, do you know as what I have done to the shutter, we also need to open our mind for a LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. Try to be calm and settle down. When we open our mind for a longer period of time, all the light sources, thought they are small, they can be captured by our “shutter”. So, think big, in a “dark room”, try to absorb all the small “lights” and blend them together.

Hence, I would like to end it with one of my favourite bible verse,

Psalm 1:3a

“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season.

Möge Gott Sie segnen! :) (May God bless you)
