For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light Ephesians 5:8 (HCSB)
In addition to being a writer, I’m also a photographer. And one of the earliest lessons I learned about good photography was that exposure matters. I’ll be non-technical: for an image to work, there has to be light—and plenty of it—or the picture won’t look right. Not enough light means it’s a blurry dark mess that’s unrecognizable. No matter how much post editing we do to an underexposed picture, it can’t be fixed.
Contrary to that, too much light will blow out a picture—littering an otherwise beautiful image with spots of bright white that can’t be toned down. I’ve discovered that developing a life of writing is a lot like finding the perfect exposure for a picture.
