When I take a tour around my tiny library you'll find some diverse pieces. When it comes to photography I actually don't have much material. My partner brought this one home. That is easily explained by her Brazilian background.

To show you the pictures of this book would not be fair. So I insist you going either to the publich library or get it at the bookstore to satisfy your curiosity.

Many use the word in different ways and way too inflationary. In Germany, we use the word very sparse only, when we really mean it. This accounts for books just as much for our partner.

However, you handle that I urge you to use it kindly and with an open eye on your receiver background, culture, and heritage. It makes all the difference to account for different filters.

At first, I was about 2m away and zoomed in but then there was not much to see of the pages. Then I moved in about 70cm from the book and used a relatively wide angle. In this case, the Canon 24-105mm F4 lens was at a 32mm focal length.

The Camera was set to ISO 100 and the Lens to F22. Since I was relatively close to the object and I knew my light will be very bright I used the high F-Stop.

So those who know me I love the Camera Rotation Light Paintings. So yes that's what you see here. It is not a reflection but a rotation mid-exposure.

The first image is a 47-second exposure and the second with the blue in it took slightly longer with a 75-second open shutter.

We are writing 2023 and hard-copy printed books are still a thing. I suppose sales number for prints are going continuesly downwards. So when we purchase a book it got to be worthwhile reading it again and again. In this very case its more about looking at the images. This is a book that holds a seemingly endless number of exceptional photographs. If you are into photography of any kind I highly recommend adding the "Genesis" to your selection.
