My good friend recently discovered a handy quick-fix feature on the iPhone camera when we were trying to capture the (apparently) most photographed castle in Scotland, the Eileen Donan castle. This feature allows you to adjust the light so that, when you have a very bright background, what you focus on in the foreground lights up and you can see all the colour and detail and beauty of it, instead of just a silhouette.
I am using this feature quite a lot as I snap away: medieval church towers, a myriad little winding cobbled streets, rivers and bridges, wooded lanes, every pretty picture looming up before me. I need to use it, as depending on what time of day it is or how big an area I'm targeting or what the weather is like, shadows often cover up the colour and hide what's there.
I was thinking... Such a 'feature' or 'button' for my daily perspective or view of life and what I 'see' and experience would be useful! This might just be my experience, but life goes so fast and there is so much information coming at us every single day, hour, even minute. This on top of us being emotional, physical, spiritual and thinking creatures. If we're not able to 'adjust the light' fast and frequently, we very often miss so much colour and beauty and see only shadows, blinded by the bright sky out there, instead of appreciating what's right there in front of us.
Yup I know, its what happens when you talk to yourself all day!
