The woods opened up and the trees ascended skyward to the top of the falls, brilliant blue highlighting the glistening, cold water.

Left brain, right brain, I can't decide. After many years of successful visual arts pursuits, I'm working on my other creative inclinations. Reaching inward and venturing outward as the Snoqualmie River flows onward past my doorstep and life runs freely through my being, I set pen to page to share what I perceive. Sheri J. Kennedy grew up mostly a city-girl coasthopping from Seattle to rural Pennsylvania, Miami and back to Seattle. She currently resides on the banks of the Snoqualmie River in the scenic Cascade Mountain foothills town of North Bend, Washington USA. Her heart has found its home.

  Yes, it can be set manually, but I have found a couple presets that I use for shots other than their description. I often use ‘sunset’ when I want rich color and golden light or to preserve the contrast that my eye sees in dappled light or sun/shadow situations. I am constantly frustrated by the standard balancing and brightening of light that a stock point and shoot setting brings. ‘Sunset’ is a quick fix, though I shoot two or more settings of any image I really want to capture. ‘Night Landscape’ is another fun one and I use to create shots like the Tunnel photos and other low light images. Obviously it is a very slow shutter speed, and I sometimes use it to create grainy or smudged effects or subdue the colors.

  oh yeah. I’m sure I used ‘sunset’ on this one. The rocks were bleaching out to white on the auto setting….blech! This setting loses sharp detail, and technically my ‘glistening’ here would be questionable photography because it whites out instead of showing the droplets, but I like the effect for what I wanted to capture.
