| Syntes det var så flott kveldslys på kirketårnet i Hoffkirka da jeg kjørte hjem i dag, at jeg svingte oppom, tenkte det bare var godt for minsta å få sove litt ekstra etter karnevalet i barnehagen. -Wikimedia. |
Leste en inspirerende artikkel av Josh Reichmann i dag, som jeg vil sitere litt fra, da denne kan være en svært god start på nok en vandring sammen.
The landscape is everywhere, on expensive safaris, cruises, jungle excursions, and in our backyards. Remember- vistas, unseen moments, and places to rediscover are everywhere because the environment is always changing. The light is always different; the seasons change, and so does our perspective on it. Don’t be afraid of revisiting the same place over and over again! That’s the beauty of the frame. A small shift in light and frame gives us a new window. Try to look at your backyard, the local park, or the nearest expanse of unpopulated nature in a new way. Today is a new day, and that is the magic of landscape photography. A difference of inches proves miles of creative adventure. Go back to that familiar place again! - Josh Reichmann
Where are we shooting? Knowing a little history of the region will bring a deeper context to what we are shooting, even if it is a mountain range. You can do a deep dive into history or research a little on the human impact here. This gives a great depth of meaning to the image we take and, in my experience, makes it more clear what and where to shoot. There is a more in-depth story to our shot if we are aware of our place in the history of the landscape. - Josh Reichmann
Wandering. Following your instinct. What was it like to watch the horizon line change shape in front of us, the trail wander and disappear when we were kids? Remembering this is a way to tune in and bring the lights back on. Often this is best done with people we trust so that no one will bicker or interrupt the natural process of going with the flow. When I do this, photographs emerge, which could never have been revealed if I knew where I was headed. This is a profound practice, which is the core of why I take photographs. - Josh Reichmann
There is a desire for many of us to find the ultimate image. Something spectacular. As we have likely found in the past, the most amazing and beautiful images are revealed through small moments and with the unexpected. Look for the little things: small moments and irregular angles and scenes. The spectacular awaits in unforeseen places often just adjacent to the site where we thought we would find it. Keep looking and look in a fresh way at what we thought was most beautiful! - Josh Reichmann
