Sunset Reflection
Oftentimes I will find myself shooting east when the sun drops low in the sky. I like the warm light that the setting sun provides. Last night, while out at the lake, photographing the eastern sky, I turned around and saw the ducks swimming through the reflection of the setting sun. I quickly swung the camera around, just in time to capture this image.
I don’t often photograph wildlife, not because I don’t like it, but just because my energy right now is so focused on landscape photography. When I get in a groove, I get tunnel vision of sorts and tend not to see what else is out there. Because of this, I see my landscape work improving and really beginning to “say” something, however I know that I do miss some other photographs that could be very compelling. I am alright with that. I know that finding a niche will breed success. Doing one thing well is much more important to me than being just alright in many areas. My heart is in the landscape. My one desire is to create meaningful images of the landscape. I explore my innermost feelings and express them in photographs created in the world around me. Photography is my outlet. It has become a need. Without it, for me, life would become very difficult.
