A palette of an indian summer in a nearby woodland on a very warm mid-October day. These are the types of scenes that I find easy to see but hard to photograph. More of a painting in the mind.
Hi Vicki, being able to give all those elements to the photograph is something I wish I could do more often. The smell of fall and emotional aspect are so individual capturing a somewhat universal feeling seems to be a good starting point. Practice, practice, practice.
HI and thanks, I find that these complex and semi abstract scenes are so beautiful and it just show the limitations we have in translating it to a permanent form via camera but I will never stop trying. A fool that persists in their folly will indeed someday succeed. Hope you are having a great week.
I hope your week is going well, too! I think this folly that you speak of is the artists’s work. I’ve been thinking of complexity and how to represent it, thanks for your thoughts.
I agree Mike. They are hard to photograph.
The scene, scent in the air, or emotional impact of the beauty in Nature, can often be hard to capture.

You’ve expressed it perfectly. I like that: “…a painting in the mind.”

Thanks Eliza, and that picture in the mind is almost always better than the picture on the screen don’t you think?

It looks wonderful, almost always those complex nature scenes don’t photograph the way I want them to.

Perhaps the best way to represent complexity is with simplicity? Hope your day is gong well and wishing you a great weekend.

Hmm, maybe, probably a good approach, to limit the chaos. I think you’re right it’s the type of challenge that can last a lifetime. Happy Halloween!

And we all need a challenge we enjoy. Have a great day.
