• Chiaroscuro (kē-är″ə-skoo͝r′ō)
  "In art, chiaroscurois the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. Chiaroscuro originated in the Renaissance period but is most notably associated with Baroque art."
  — Wikipedia.


• Geeky:
  Out and about that day with neither a neutral density filter nor tripod to take a longer shutter-speed exposure of the (tiny) waterfall, I braced myself against a tree and snapped six photos in quick succession at a relatively fast shutter speed (1/200 second), all the while trying not to move or shake the camera. Later, back at home, I aligned and blended the six photos in post-processing, creating an effect that simulated a long exposure (but only for the creek itself). What fun!
