The lives of many pixels were changed forever in the creation of this image. I hope they’re happy.
Be well. Do good. Create.

One of the nicer sunbeam shots I’ve seen. Subtle yet beautiful with a pleasing softness and lovely hints of color.

Without giving away precious trade secrets, can you tell us any of the ways in which pixels were altered?

It’s a composite of two frames, one ICM and one static. And some more things I did…

Gorgeous light! Perfect softness – not too much, not too little. But I can’t help feeling confused – if you’re on the CA coast, why is the sunbeam to the south on the right side of the photo?
Re your statement, Be well.Do good.Create….it looked like you left the space between the words out (but now I think that’s just the font). Anyway, without the space, I hear it as running together, and rhythmic. I like that, it becomes a mantra that way. 🙂

Thank you very much. The phrase was intended to mean that the sunbeam was in a southerly direction from where I was standing. If you are essentially facing west and you turn toward the south and it’s late afternoon the sunbeam will come from the right. And I think it’s the font. I do have spaces between the phrases. But, it is really intended to be a mantra.

Michael wouldn’t leave out the spaces: he’s dutifully making his words practice social distancing.
