I am posting right away as I probably won't have time later this week. After an inauspicious start, I had fun and saw some lovely things today. The last one is identical to one I took 3 years ago, so I must like that spot, but it is my least favorite from today,
First, I'm sorry for delay in getting back to the blog. I have such fun figuring whose work I'm seeing, and picking up clues. Recognizing an image seen in the field on your lcd confirms the hunch, but your first image, from subject and approach had me on the right track. I like the variety of new and old, hard and soft, elements, colors and myriad textures on the flat plane of the forest floor (#1 ).
ReplyDeleteI like the warm and cool in #2, but wonder about the contrast. There were surfing ops (that is opportunities to surf the light, with glorious, at times obliging clouds scrimming) but whether waiting for the next one will be worthwhile is a question.
Number 3's color is surprising, as you showed me color that appeared differently on camera monitor. It seemed much more subdued from my angle. Water movement and light is, for one so inclined, endlessly fascinating and this one has beautiful balance of multiple textures.
I like the gestural, elemental branches but the hole in the tree kind of amazes me. I only half-noticed the puzzle pattern of the bark - love that kind of surprise. I was there but did not really see. I was interested in peering into the void to discern detail, which you also captured. These walks, these spring outings especially, are the greatest, with talented, independent lenses responding and recording their own takes, creating collections of walks. There are worse things than capturing such mornings this way.
Leslie your #3 has the look of a water color and wonderful contrast of blue and yellow. More interesting than the lovely rocks with reflected green, your last one. I'm fascinated by how you take fragments and take a photo that pulls them together into a whole. (#1)
