It seems obvious and in some ways it’s intuitive, but until I actually said it, I never really got it. To capture a good photo, you need to capture the light.
The light is always the subject.
It’s hard to get a beautiful color photo without good light. If you follow the light, like in many ways in life, you'll find God, you'll find Jesus Christ and maybe you’ll get a nice photo too.
Follow the light, worship the Creator, not the creation.
