Ahhh, synchronising the ebb and flow of energy and opportunity! There's a lot to be said for learning to wait for the right moment, as I'm discovering in taking photographs. I have to have the opportunity, the subjects in their best light, and the right conditions. I think I have realised just how patient good garden photographers must be!
I have been itching to get out and take pictures but when I have the opportunity it is so windy! Winter is nibbling at the pretties and whipping all the leaves away... so in defiance of Weather, I've decided to try taking pics anyway!
So I visited a lovely garden in Hobart several days ago, and made the best of the opportunity to learn. Thank you to Minuet, who shared her garden and photographic tips! These are some of the images, after learning the basics of some digital processing tricks. My attitude has changed - just a week ago I thought everything except cropping was cheating, now I know that the decisions made in processing to obtain a 'finished' image are just as much a part of the photographer's sensibilities as taking the raw images. I never thought I would see digital 'enhancement' as a creative process! (Hint: did I not notice it was called "processing"?) Now I hope to process creatively!
I'd like to know what you guys think of these images; any good, bad or ugly feedback to help me understand how to improve:
And this is my attempt at a 'quick' post, because my opportunities to do the deep mental processing and writing have been somewhat scarce lately. :D
