WYSIWYG

WYSIWYG (whiz-ee-wig) is a phrase Tom Hubbard used in an intro to photography class I took a few months ago. It is an acronym for "what you see is what you get"...meaning: your mind can see, or visualize a photo, and then you can turn around and create it with your camera. This is not an easy task for a novice like me! You need to have the camera set correctly, achieve the right angle, and utilize good light.  True WYSIWIG is ideally accomplished with as little post processing as possible. Needless to say, it doesn't come together for me every day.

Today, however, I did get a WYSIWYG photo, so I had to share it with you :)


It's just what my mind saw when I looked up and into the leaves of this tree!
Yay for WYSIWYG!
