Today i’ve wandered through the forest, seen and heard many birds.. came back home full of experiences and photographs
The interesting thing about all these experiences was that earlier today i was reading a book by Lama Tsongkhapa in which he describes how much we’re attached to our senses.. and indeed, in the forest i was constantly on the watch for sights and sounds. Perhaps that’s the downside for me of taking the camera with me. Or better said, it’s a lesson for me. First relax the mind, eyes and ears and then engage with the forest, connect with it without wanting to grasp at certain experiences (like seeing a kingfisher or a squirrel)
So today ended up being both rewarding in terms of photographs and in applying wisdom..
Today a few images of this tree. Don’t know which tree it is, but had a bit of fun with this one on Sunday when i took these images. Playing with perspective is always much fun to do 🙂
It has been raining quite a bit here, so here and there the rain has formed small puddles on the street. Decided to play with it a bit, both in color and in black and white. Let me know which one looks the best in your opinion! I’d be glad to hear, cause they’re so different! Have a great weekend ya’ll!
The street tiles are visible with the reflection of the trees in the background
Deep colors in this one, to add a bit of drama to the trees. Also a bit dark to create contrast between the reflection and the underlying stones on the street
First black and white edit, the branches are clearly visible
Black and white with a colored twitch, contrast added
High key edit which gives this image a real winter’s look. With a bit of fantasy you can see a snow storm in it – at least i did lol
