Wind Blown
With portraits, I hated windy days. I didn’t mind the rain, but wind made life very difficult to work with. In my landscape work, however, I have been shooting in the wind quite a bit. I have been intrigued with motion for some time now. A windy day is now perfect!
Using a tripod, I can capture objects that are firm and strong, and they remain still and sharp, while smaller objects, like leaves on a tree, or plants, flowers and grasses blur from their motion. It can create very interesting images. The movement and flow helps to create mood, feeling and meaning, the very need for successful images.
