If I recall, this was taken on the very first time I shot outdoor night shots with the X-E2. 20mm, f3.2 (not sure why), ISO 6400. This was shot handheld at 1/8 seconds, +0.3EV.The light made it easier for me to focus. I'm glad that Sir Kenn (the guy who sold me this X-E2) taught me... Continue Reading →

"Heaven and Earth will pass away, and my words will not pass away."Matthew 24:35, Luke 21:33, and Mark 13:31Andrew Wommack had an excellent point in saying that worry is actually meditation in the sense that you are thinking of your sickness, your problem, your issues, your addictions, and/or well, you.

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow!Words are not enough to describe the complete beauty of our Heavenly Father, as seen through His Creation. The mountains and trees, the waters and fields, the sun, sky, and clouds all come together to give God praise, and all we could do (as I remember myself doing when... Continue Reading →

Two And A Half. I've made the decision to merge both of my blogs into one. Hope In Sight is now part of jb.redeemed. I have to admit that intimidation delayed this merger; I treated this like some major change, when really, this was an exercise in efficiency. I remember that I only had 2 blogs...

Here's a composite, stitched from 8 exposures, 4x2 @ 18mm. Each exposure was constant at 30 Seconds, f/4, ISO 4000. Landscape orientation. The sun rose pretty early, at around 4:30-5:00am. Post-processing includes Levels and Saturation. So here's why I was not able to post over the weekend (come to think about it, I should probably keep the... Continue Reading →
