Photography and Poetry: Effects of Lighting (photo editing)

DEATH OF CUMULUS
Dr Abe V Rotor

Digital photography, through lighting control and editing, provides a wide range of shades and hues, modifying the original colors and tint. (The first photo is the original, whereas the last is at the border of photograph and digital art.)

Lighting changes the mode and appeal of the photographs as shown in this series, and the expression of the poem - DEATH OF CUMULUS - inspired by the new images, drawing in new beauty and meaning - to the level of philosophy.

Death of Cumulus

Meet me early in the morning;
grow with me as the sun rises
reaching its zenith as I reach mine;
rest with me as the sun goes down,
glowing with the reddening sky,
and the passing of years - and mine.

But you are a young Sybil at dawn,
pure, rising, but into feathers die.
Would I ask Apollo to curtain the sun,
that you die on some parched land,
on dry river beds and empty lakes?
Then together we rise again at dawn. ~
