What I dream of…

Posted on March 6, 2015 by Robyn Graham Photography

Serenity

SS 1.6 f 22 ISO 64

“What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter – a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.” – Henri Matisse

Notice the shutter speed above. The long exposure created the soothing, serenity effect of the water. Long exposure is my favorite technique when shooting water. I love the calming feeling that lends to mindfulness, peace and a joyful heart.
