The other side of the shore
It was a bit misty morning, quite a calm and relaxing one. I was enjoying my walkabout with a camera, trying to make the most of the time the mist was drifting around.
Sometimes, when I’m out taking images, I overdrive myself in walking, taking shots, looking for compositions… I do it in every possible way. I’m afraid I will regret not taking some shots if the conditions are favourable, so-called FOMO (fear of missing out). And then I come home completely exhausted in that way that I don’t have the energy the whole day, sometimes, to even transport my images to the computer and have a glance at them. I do that the next day. Then I became overwhelmed with the amount of photos I’ve got. It happens every time…
Because of that, I’m now looking to save energy as much as I can. If there is not a thick, dense fog I evaluate the scene I see in front of me or in the distance. Should I go there, maybe I should get back around, that sort of thinking. All those locations where I’m going I pretty much know by now so I can rely on that. And if there is a thick, dense fog, well, I totally pressure myself. I can’t help it then. It is stronger than me. My brain is working fast, I’m sweating like it’s mid-summer and so on…
Anyway, to get back on this shot. The mist was clearing away and I stood on the part of the forest where I observed the surroundings. At one point I was at the shore of the river looking if there was some atmosphere in the part of the forest across, on the other side of the river. I didn’t see any, but I noticed this lovely glow in the air, as some moisture was obviously still there. It was just at the time some light hit out the trees across. I decided to not go any further, but maybe there was an actual shot from where I was standing, I thought. I’ve never shot this composition before, so it’s always fun when you find something new in a familiar location. I took a few images and after seeing them on my computer screen back home, they looked decent to me.
I like the interaction among the trees here, and how the main subject tree is a bit twisty. Colours and light are lovely. The only downside is that blue patch on the up left that I could not be bothered to cover in the post. All in all, a fine morning well spent with a camera among the trees.
