Soft Spring Morning

'Soft Spring Morning'
Zoë Bull

I love Spring and Autumnal sunrises in particular. In Autumn, the leaves glow a red and golden hue, but in the Spring, there is this softness, a delicate touch of nature that caresses the budding blossoms and a rainbow of pastel light, diffused by the clouds…just lovely. 

I noticed it as I came into the kitchen this morning to have my breakfast. I wasn't interested in watching the news, but just being quiet and frequently turning my head to look out the window every mouthful or so. I loved this view and I had always wanted to take the perfect picture on this window sill, with all the cute little ornaments standing in a line. I had bought the flowers yesterday and though they would normally be placed on the kitchen table, the window sill seemed like a nice change. The sun looked beautiful as it shined on the chrysanthemums and it just felt like Spring had really begun. 

I finished eating my breakfast and had a feeling inside that I just had to get my camera. The moment could pass by the time I went upstairs to fetch it, but I thought it was worth it. Angle and light were everything and I have just got a huge admiration for soft light photographs. It's something I've noticed around on Pinterest a lot and on the web generally, and I would love to get it perfected. 

I know time of day is a commitment when it comes to special kinds of natural lighting. We often find ourselves shooting at midday when we know the sun is out, but as photographers know, the harshest kind of light is during that period so I think if you want to create something special photographing in the morning and evening sounds like a plan.
