January 26, 2020 — Reynisfjara Viewpoint, Iceland; Yesterday, My Office, California
Not exactly what was happening at the time, but what I saw in the first split instant that I saw it. It took a while to bring it into being. Split instants are like that.

That bright area sure pulls my attention to the right.
If a cheerleader can do a split and a physicist can split an atom, I guess you can split an instant. Two questions arise. Can you instantly split an instant? If so, is the result a splinstant?

A defined split with a shock of light. Interesting image, Michael, that compelled me to look further.

Thank you very much. I’m fine tuning it to better express a couple of aspects. It’s conceivable I may re-post it in the near future.

Thank you very much. As I have said, this was a bit of a leap. I’ve been refining it and I might post a new version of it. Not radically different; a refinement.

You reminded me of a book called Refining Your Life that came out back in the 80s. It’s a zen treatise which definitely favors the idea of refining, in all aspects of daily life. Have fun! 🙂

If you want your life to be fine on a daily basis, you must re-fine every day. 😉 Which is to say, life has to be continually created.

As with the previous, I like the subtle warmth in the sky. The small brightness at the left is a balance, albeit a small one, for the larger at the right. It’s an excellent split second’s creation. Most of my instant responses end up being less than expected.

Thanks again! I’ve been really challenging myself with subtle gradations and color balance in the past month or so. That small split of light after the left is something that I only uncovered in the past couple of days. The original creation of this had it hidden but in experimenting with the sky and sea relationship I rediscovered it and exposed it. I think to the image’s benefit.
