Children's eyes series. Simple shot with the very sharp Sigma 50 Art lens. Hand held. No stabilizer. Image cropped. (Be child, my friend). .................................................................................................................................................................................... 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. But the earth was formless and empty. Then God said: Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good'. (The Bible, Genesis 1, 1) .................................................................................................................................................................................... It is the light what gives consistency and form to the matter. The atoms are practically 100% empty space. The volume occupied by the nucleus plus the volume occupied by the electrons is only 0,0000000000001% (yes, thirteen decimals) of the total volume of any atom. But the photons, as bosons responsible of the electromagnetic interaction, connect internally and continuously the electrons with the nucleus, and also the atoms with other atoms in order to form molecules. The photons act as if they were the cement of the matter. Without light in its interior, there would not be 'solid' atoms and molecules. The matter, the whole universe would be an extremely loose soup of bosons and hadrons with c.0% density. That is, without light, the matter, the earth would be 'formless and empty', as surprisingly states the first sentence of the Bible. Light is not an outside phenomenon: photons are an essential 'internal' component of the matter. Without them it would not be possible any form. Neither the beauty, nor the photography. The matter is literally 'filled' with light. Also at night. To capture it, is all. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... One of my favorite themes in photography is try to capture the light of the children's eyes. In any portrait, everything is in the eyes. And children have the most pure, genuine and lighting eyes. This is the same photo than the one below in my Gallery that won Staff Favorite on January 2015, but now uploaded with more resolution (more Megas), in order to present it to different contests. The low resolution version received +1.2k views, hundreds of likes and hundreds of peer awards.
