Stay Simple

I’ve been visiting the same spot on the same street at the same time for almost a week. Still don’t have a photo I like.

It’s a simple idea. Large maple tree in full fall colors. Similarly toned house. All backlit.

Like Michaelangelo, I’m looking for that moment of creation when all the elements arrive together.

Maybe today. Before the leaves all fall and I have to wait another year.

Editor’s note: This spot is so photogenic that the owners have a private property sign at the base of the tree. I’ll make a photo of that today.

This is an Amazon link where I make a few pennies to help pay for my life. Today’s book is Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Stay simple, in the flow, out of chaos.

Almost everything I shoot goes through Luminar Neo. Even after I’ve made the first edit of my raw file in Adobe Camera Raw. I’ve built my own set of Luminar presets for the places and things I normally shoot and for different lighting conditions at those places. Then it’s easy to adjust the results for fine-tuning each photo. This is an affiliate link so I might make a little something from sale. Download it for the trial period.
