Inspired!

2007.12.21
1" @ F8 - ISO 200. Nikkor 60mm Micro lens. The background is actually a white paper towel to block the view of the windows!

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.

Luke 2:8
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to EVERYONE who made such nice comments on my post yesterday. I needed it! Never again will I feel guilty for reposting images, or posting shots I think are 'unworthy' of the blog. I needed refocusing, and you all helped me tremendously!

This is just a simple image from our Nativity. The thoughts of the lowly shepherds tending their flocks and being summoned by a host of Angels was very inspiring to me. Images of the Great Shepherd carrying his sheep inspired me! Your comments and well wishes inspired me!

Inspired is my word of the day!

lexlevans yea for being inspired! i was having a very uninspiring day and didn't even feel like taking photos (which is SO unlike me) then i got such great response from my alley shots that I only half-heartedly took - but i feel much better (and inspired!)from everyone's nice comments! i like your inspiring shepard, very inspiring (since it's the word of the day i have to use 'inspiring' as much as possible in my comment), and i like how you used a paper towel as background, i thought it was snow! very inspiring.. :-D okay, now i'm just being a brat... but an INSPIRED brat at that!

Madoc Glad you are, Matt.
When things start to turn wrong in our head or get too complicated , the best way to get back on tracks is to get back to basic.
And that is what you did here.
You got out. Took some shots of what pleased you and then posted it. That's all.
And it is very nicely done.
