It\u2019s interesting how although I can appreciate beautiful landscapes when looking at them, and find it easy to appreciate such view, capturing what I consider to be an interesting or captivating view for and image has been a different story for me.<\/p>\n
Shooting many Landscapes was certainly not what I was interested in early on when I renewed my relationship with Photography. But as I\u2019ve started spending more time shooting, over the last couple of years I find that often the wildlife isn\u2019t playing the game for the day: sometimes it\u2019s best to look at other opportunities to present beauty in the simplicity of what\u2019s already in front of my eyes. That said, I find that to NOT shoot, just because I think I want to shoot one thing or another over & above everything else, denies my Raison d\u2019\u00eatre!<\/p>\n
Yes I love Macro Photography, but I love shooting Flora & Fauna of all shapes & sizes, basically whatever\u2019s available. I\u2019ve always appreciated beautiful views wherever I am, but now I have a new appreciation for the Landscape shot as well. It\u2019s there already, but just like anything else, I can in the way I compose the shot, how I choose to expose the shot, how I choose to post-process the shot can encourage the viewer to appreciate some aspects of that view they may not have otherwise considered. I can massage the moment so to speak to bring out more for others to see who weren\u2019t there at the moment.<\/p>\n
True not all views are equal, but in most locations there\u2019s a story to be told, it just needs someone to interpret it. If I can see part of the story I think I need to try and pass it on to others. I can still achieve my fundamental premise of helping to provide a positive and fresh view of the world for somebody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
