•••Surrender to the Brave Inside•••.Pretty sure I held my breath for the entire 80 seconds the shutter was open when making this exposure… .For anyone who's followed my journey through photography over the last 5 years, you've seen my best, and my worst (thank you to all who've stuck with me), and I feel are presently witnessing a reinvention of sorts..To make a long story short, in mid-late 2014, creativity slowed to a near-snail's pace for me and I lost any headway I had made in advancing my photography. Now I'm again at a place where I can feel the momentum picking up. I'm trying new things, meeting new people and ultimately pushing myself to reach the next level. I believe this image is a milestone representing where I've been and where I see myself headed. It was shot on a combination of new and vintage gear, using old methods in a fresh light, and taken within 100 yards of a photographer I'd inspired in the past, but is now helping fuel the next iteration of myself. I honestly feel like I've surrendered to the brave inside and have no fear of moving onward and upward. Thank you for joining me on this trip!. 2016-06-12 7:26PM️Nikon D750 ️Nikkor 24-70mm @ 42mm️ISO 100 ️f/22 ️80 sec️Singh-Ray 77mm Vari-ND Filter
