What am I trying to say?
" "What are you trying to say with this photograph?" is the most fundamental of questions regarding creative photography." ~ Brenda Tharp (Creative Nature & Outdoor Photography... a gift from My Darling)

Beautiful photos, Susan! I love misty scenes and these are really stunning! Your captions are perfect!
ReplyDeleteAre these where you live?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Beautiful words and pictures.
ReplyDelete~ Desiree, thanks... yes, I especially like the way the mist changes the landscape for those minutes or hours that it lingers :)
ReplyDelete~ Mary, no the home is not ours ... oops, I didn't get permission, so just keep it between us ;-) Thank you too.
~ Diane, appreciate it, thanks :)
Both photos have that lovely tranquil stillness of having the world to yourself. Beautiful.
ReplyDelete~ Vicki, and that's exactly how it felt too :D
ReplyDeleteThey were taken on the last morning of 2010 ... I can't put my finger on it as to exactly why, but it seemed quite significant :)
I'm not very analytical. I don't qualify or quantify most things I do... especially photography.
ReplyDeleteI just take a picture of things that appeal to me when I'm standing there admiring ... for whatever reason ...and I don't even question it. If I like it.... good enough.... and if it turns out not blurry...and feels as good when I see it on the computer or paper as it did in real life... great...
yes, these photos, with their so-right captions, seem to have a universal significance in that they speak to each of us. well done, Susan!
ReplyDelete~ BumbleVee, yes I understand what you're saying, and that's how I always approach my photography. I take pictures of what I like too... big bonus if they turn out (esp prior to the digital age!) - with today's cameras - Wow! Such fun!
ReplyDeleteAt this stage of my life, it pleases me to delve just a little bit further, to study up on something... get what's remaining in the old brain box going again!! The book I mentioned deals with photographics on many levels - one of them being emotional. That struck a chord... by taking what appeals from my book, I'm becoming that much more aware of what's around me, in a pleasurable way... It's something that MD and I are sharing too, so that's another bonus!
Cheers and thanks for your comment :D
~ Dmarie, I do thank you, and it seems that every day there's just more fun to be had with the camera.. why, sometimes, I don't even get time to do the housework!!! :O ;-)
