Have been dancing around learning this Adobe Program for years and the time has come for a deep dive. This semester, I plan to study video at Southern Connecticut State University. In preparation, I usually try to get my brain around an unfamiliar program and started working my way methodically through a Lynda course. Animation has always been challenging for me. I plan to photograph and isolate botanical subjects which are appealing and animate them again moving water. So the concept for the project is very well defined. Excited about learning!

I placed this passion flower on the slim light plano for backlight and added soft diffused front light. Stopped down and got close and although a complete challenge to isolate the tendrils, managed to capture the essence of the flower in all its glorious complexity. This one will be fun to animate.
