Magnolia

There is a magnolia tree I have tried to get a decent shot of. I have tried a number of times, but I have not been able to nail it. This time was no different, so I decided to get the 10 stop ND filter out and make a long exposure. It may not be a great image, but it does illustrate my frustration with the motif which just seems to slip through my fingers.

Reflections on making Images

Photography and making images is more like playing an instrument than riding a bike to me. If I don’t do it on a regular basis I feel rusty and out of practice. It is not something I can just pick up where I left it months ago. I have to practice, and at the moment I feel that I am taking snapshots rather than making images. I guess this is a phase I have to go through to get back in form and make images the way I like to do again. But I still enjoy photography and the practice.
