To me they carry the Easter Morning feeling. Resurrection in all its glory\u2026in all HIS glory. And overflowing praise which has to be our response. <\/p>\n<p>And these are first results of yet another new camera. The Fujifilm HS20 EXR I have been experimenting with the past few days went, with regrets (but no doubts), back to Amazon. I bought another camera to try yesterday morning. Free advice: never buy a new camera on a raining hard, almost snowing, day. I was reduced to shooting flowers and knickknacks in doors\u2026at the end, with flash! <\/p>\n<p>Still, there is a sunny side. I have these shots for Easter morning!<\/p>\n<p>The top one is natural light. The bottom one is flash. Both are on the macro setting. Both are handheld, testing the limits of the camera\u2019s image stabilization. <\/p>\n<p>Nikon Coolpix P500. 1) 60mm equivalent field of view, f4.5 @ 1\/15th @ ISO 400. 2) 370mm equivalent, f5.6 @ 1\/60th @ ISO 200. <\/p>\n<p>Processed in Lightroom for intensity (very lightly) and clarity. I actually had to turn Vibrance down a notch. <\/p>\n<p>And of course, I have absolutely nothing to say about Easter that has not been said a thousand times before by better men and women than I. It is glorious. It is wonderful. It is amazing. It is the doorway that opens us to an encounter with a living savior\u2026not perhaps the guarantee of our faith\u2026but its ultimate affirmation. What you experience on Easter morning, in the end (and in the beginning) says everything about who you are. I rejoice at the risen one\u2026and I want the whole world to rejoice with me. That is Easter. That is me.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2036\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2036&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2036\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2036&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2036&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My original Easter post follows, but I could not resist updating with this image from this morning.
