A Scene Built on Light and Texture
Photography is an art of interaction—light meeting form, form meeting the eye, and the eye discovering a story. In this photograph, the primary story emerges from texture. Pampas grass has a unique visual softness, and the camera captures it with clear, controlled sharpness. Each plume appears almost weightless, yet detailed enough for the viewer to sense the fine, feathery structure.
The light appears natural—most likely soft midday or afternoon sun. The highlights on the grass heads show gentle illumination without harsh contrast. This suggests the photographer worked with a balanced exposure, allowing the plumes to stand out without losing detail in the background.
The shallow depth of field helps separate the main subject from the surroundings. The foreground plumes are crisp, while the trees behind them melt into soft shades of green and gold. This gives the photograph a pleasing visual hierarchy—your eye immediately goes to the pampas grass before exploring the rest of the frame.
As one man who I met that day said, everyone who visits the wood gravitates towards the stream and this day was no exception.
Paths run either side, so sometimes I'm not even aware that someone's there until I look up from what I'm doing.
Given that they probably don't often see a man there in his wellies doing strange things with rocks, I guess it does make them (and their dogs) curious.
This particular work, one heavy upright stone balanced point down in the stream bed with a rock arch to the bank and a simple arrangement of 10 or so other stones balanced on their ends around it got quite a bit of attention.
One man asked "what are you doing man?"
"Playing" I replied.
Three woman were a little grumpy that what were once stepping stones were now upright, but mostly people were very complimentary and politely asked if they could take photos.
One man told me proudly of his work with numerology and a young couple congratulated me on my work, the woman saying that she was going to post images of it all over social media that night. I'd moved downstream by that point and was working on another balance.
The late afternoon sunshine was a nice touch, particularly on these very short days.

Balancing rocks in public places is sometimes a challenge ... but an important lesson in keeping focused even if there distractions.
Here my friend and I were approached by four young boys who became fascinated by what we were doing and eagerly started passing rocks to us to work with.
They seemed to like my singing too "We're busy doin' nothin'
Workin' the whole day through
Tryin' to find lots of things not to do ....."

Normally water creates life.
In this case, new life created this beautiful drop of water.
A difficult, handheld high ISO shot.
was when two small children and their mother were literally stopped in their tracks as they walked through the stream and came across my two stone arches
Back on the streets, I love these moments when all the pieces of the day click into place in the puzzle of life - dogs, people, sidewalks and buildings, just the pattern of interactions.

Art Landscape Maas Tunnel - Dune 4.1 by Daan Roosegaarde.
"Dune 4.1 is an interactive landscape in Rotterdam's Maas Tunnel. It was developped specially for Rotterdam 2007 City of Architecture. This amalgamation of art and technology consists of hundreds of fibers that light up when the sound and motion of people walking through the tunnel strike it. Strollers will experience the artifcial landscape by looking, walking and interacting under the river."
the interaction was a bit disappointing, it made no difference whether we moved or not, whistled or were silent... :)
There is an innate characteristic some models have that makes them step into a perfect pose the moment they see the photographer point his lens at them. Isabella is such a model. She takes to the command "start modelling!" like a trooper and does it brilliantly. In my brief experience shooting models, I have found that some can and some can't get into it with such facility. In my on-going search for models, I will always be looking for the model that has the potential to be a consummate professional even if they are not already.
I am not discussing this image here, in particular. Of course I love it and am happy with the results of this session.
Please visit my web site, sollang.com to ee a short video of a shooting session with Isabella. There are some of my other shooting sessions.
You can also own an original print of Isabella and others, by going to my profile page and linking to Imagekind. I would do it here, but to my understanding Flickr does not allow it.
Thank you for viewing my art.
A short video including behind the scenes of this session can be found here.

Great photography requires dedication, time and effort.
But above all there are costs involved as well.
Equipment, props and model fees, not to mention time,
are all "out-of-pocket" expenses for the artist.
If you enjoy my photographic art, you might like to help to support it.

"Egret Intimate Interaction" by Patti Deters. A Great White Egret (Ardea alba) parent gently nurtures her very alert chick in a nest made of twigs and branches. The intimate scene lasted just long enough for me to capture the tender moment. It was almost as if they were silently communicating - perhaps "discussing" some important survival lessons. There were other chicks in the nest as you can see by the white fluffy feathers, but this particular baby was the most eager to nestle with mama. These wading birds are found throughout the USA, and this particular spring nest was seen in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Thank you for viewing this picture.

I didn't notice Dennis until we downloaded the photos. It is either a very large daffodil or a very small Dennis. If Dennis doesn't count as interacting with the daffodil then he is interacting with the map.
Taken in Camphill Country Park, near Woolton, Liverpool.
I was surprised to see daffodils in full bloom in January - it was a sheltered, south facing, and on a gentle slope.
Quite a different image from the usual things I take and display,, a totally different genre, but nothing wrong with diversifying a little, especially while the chance is available to shoot these fantastic sea birds. Puffins are always a joy to shoot or indeed just to sit and watch if you find a good place to see them.
This was taken on the fantastic Isle of May off the coast of Fife, where up to 120,000 Puffins nest between April at the beginning of August, this particular pair were quite comical and I shot them for a while, this being my favourite image with the interaction between the two of them clear to see.
