It is about the Light!

     What makes for an interesting picture?  Shape, form, composition, subject, contrast...  It is all of these things, yet even more important at times is the quality of the light.  The light defines how the image is perceived.  The following two pictures have the same composition of the same subject, yet they are two completely different images.


Rock Pile and Trees;  Hayman Fire scar,  2018 - week 15


Sunny Rock Pile and Trees;  Hayman Fire scar,  2018 - week 15

     Yes it may come down to personal preferences,  yet I do prefer to work in the sunlight for landscapes, and spend the extra time working on the contrast levels.  It is no wonder why landscape photographers always seem to be waiting for the light...
