The theme for #CheesebeesPhotoChallenge2026Week12 is #balance. Balance is not always easy to find, but it is always worth seeking. Tonight I have sought it because I did not feel it.
Playing with #sharpness, #softness, #b&w, and #vintage filters via #candlelight. Photography brings me both #joy and #peace.

TIL - if you shoot RAW only, and try to judge sharpness by zooming in on the shot _in camera_ you are going to be lead astray. Shoot RAW+large JPEG to ensure that you have a high rez image available to zoom in on to check the focus.

I Don’t Optimize Content. I Sharpen the Core.
Good design doesn’t add more. It removes confusion.

I refine the essence. And let it speak. The rest is noise.

Sharpness 'pier'.
This leads into a canal lock - to the Sharpness & Gloucester Canal. Doesn't look as though it would resist much of a dunt.
