There is no truth. There’s only perception.
Gustave Flaubert
Non esiste la verità, solo la percezione.
A calmness arises when we are in a quiet place with a sensory subject that brings our mental focus out of hiding and into the here and now.
I have written a short Facebook post that uses this image and the original image as examples of my opinion on artistic photography. It will give you a peek at how much changed in the post processing.

Time for a touch of minimalism. This is a little scene I found at Wellington Reservoir in Western Australia on an overcast day. The dead tree stump poking out of the water caught my attention especially and I decided to take few long exposures to create a subtle moody image.

… Please press L to enlarge… patterns are made with Moiré effect … sorry that after jpg and upload there is some quality deterioration…
Moiré effect is a visual perception that occurs when viewing a set of lines or dots that is superimposed on another set of lines or dots, where the sets differ in relative size, angle, or spacing. The moiré effect can be seen when looking through ordinary window screens at another screen or background. It can also be generated by a photographic or electronic reproduction, either deliberately or accidentally. (whatis.techtarget.com/definition/moire-effect )

Turrell has studied both the nature of light and the psychology of perception. At sunrise or sunset in the "Amarna" one participates in an experience that uses light and colour to create a sense of altered space. I mentioned that Turrell was raised a Quaker, whose emphasis on the "Inner Light" is central to everything they do. This belief has never left Turrell. He walks in the Light and uses the light spectrum as a metaphor for what he considers the essence of the Light.
On the top right hand corner of this montage you'll see rows of seats that extend right around the installation. These are just like those found in old Quaker Meeting Houses. In fact the Society of Friends (Quakers) in Hobart use this space from time to time for meetings. A Quaker meeting is held in a silent meditative state, at once individual and corporate. That's Mt Wellington / kunanyi in the background.
Sitting silently and looking up (another metaphorical act) the colours change so gradually that one moves through the entire visible colour spectrum over the next 45 minutes. That rectangular window in the ceiling allows one to look through and see the sky. But even the sky seems to change colour and vibrancy with the changing of the light.
I find that shooting with a super wide angle lens almost forces you to look at things quite differently. I'm usually a stickler about level horizons, but I found myself having a bit of fun with looking at things on a different slant.
This is a small swampy area with Cypress trees, and lots of Duckweed growing on the surface of the stagnant water.
We all have our own perceptions in life and at some point of time we try to convince others to agree to our perception thinking that ours is the only right one.
In this image, a circle shape can be seen from top but it is also a flask-shape when it is viewed from other angle, both shapes are real and both angles are right, it is just a difference of perception.
We should respect each other's perceptions, point-of-views, ideas, suggestions, advises, etc. and should be open to those things for better human relation.
The moment you change your perception, is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body. – Dr. Bruce H. Lipton
We found a cute little cafe for our cup of tea, called Changing Perceptions. Some info below, for those who are interested!
Changing Perceptions has quickly evolved from Godalming’s best kept secret to a popular and bustling Café and home interior shop. Located at the very top of the High Street this unique and vibrant social enterprise is just a stone’s throw away from the Meath. Meath clients are supported to up-cycle donated furniture in the on-site workshop which is then put on sale in the shop, with all profit going straight back to the charity. It is a very important part of the Meath’s philosophy to help dispel the stigma associated with epilepsy and to assist all of our clients to live alongside people from all walks of life, sharing similar experiences and hopes and dreams for the future.
This is my last photo from this trip, but don't worry, I have another couple of day trips to share!!
Light, often seen as a symbol of clarity and truth, can sometimes be deceptive. It bends and refracts, creating illusions that trick the eye and mind. Mirage on hot roads, where distant puddles of water never really exist, or the way light scatters through a prism, revealing colors hidden within.
These phenomena show that light, despite its purity, can lead us astray, masking reality and creating a false sense of perception. Even in its brightest form, light has the power to conceal as much as it reveals, reminding us that what we see is not always what is.
Similarly, during a storm, the light breaking through clouds can offer false hope, suggesting the storm is ending when it might actually be gathering strength. This brief glimmer can trick us into thinking the worst is over, only for the tempest to intensify, revealing that the deception of light isn't just in its physical properties, but also in the emotional responses it evokes.
The interplay of light and shadow in storm clouds reminds us of the complex, often misleading nature of perception.

I found this old Serendipity pose, and its theme of perception seemed to go well with the stunningly revealing new dress from Aleutia that’s available now at The Secret Affair. I’m also showing off the B variant of the new Sangria hair by eXxEsS – I can’t believe how amazing it is!
