Passing By

Attracted to images of the grand landscape, I find many of my images are of the countryside. I can't help it; it's what I enjoy experiencing. I love images that give me the quiet, peaceful essence of freedom. Sometimes when looking at grand landscape images I can feel my mind literally expand with an emotional attachment to my childhood.

I can't remember the location of this image. I do know I was in the back of a van shooting out the window riding along about 70mph. It's not easy shooting from a moving vehicle and I can tell you spray and pray doesn't get you many usable images. I have to concentrate on what is ahead of me when riding and be prepared to capture the image just at the most opportune time. When I do, it's exciting to me because the window of success is very narrow as I enjoy the challenge.

The concentration needed to capture a usable frame is tremendous. After about 5 hours, fatigue sits in, and my performance drops. Then I have to contend with watching potentially great images "Passing By".

I'm making some changes. Starting today I'll be making my About Fine Art Photography blog simply a picture blog with short essays. The Fine Art Photography Experience blog will have more insight, informative and inspirational information.
