Photo of the Week 2023-10-02

 

Well ... another 12th of '23 has passed and the final quarter is upon us. Fall colours have arrived, in varying degrees depending on your location. Time is set aside to visit some of my favourite locations for autumn photography, the results of which will be shared in days and weeks to come.

 

My appetite for creating images is returning, slow but sure. Just putting myself in regular positions that have led to success in the past has been a big help in getting things to flow again. I returned to one of those places, and at a time I had been letting slip by ... early morning, near sunrise. What a quiet, still, glorious time it was.

Again ... looking back through my image library and I've come across something that catches my attention and makes me wonder why I didn't take it further.

Over many years of making images, some are bound to be overlooked. Particularly during periods of prolific shooting, it's easy to let quality shots slip through the cracks. A while back, I started working with this image in 'post' to create a multiple exposure / camera movement effect. I must not have been satisfied with the result and abandoned it to languish in the archive until it beckoned for another chance.

That chance came during a period when I'm not shooting very much and when I have been, I've just been going through the motions in an attempt to find some photo mojo. I'm hopeful that hearkening back to better photo times will help.

I haven't felt like picking up a camera much these last couple of weeks. Oh I've had one in my had or over my shoulder but the desire to photograph anything has just not been there. I know it will return in due time, so until then here is something from several weeks ago when I visited Revolve Farms.

Lynn and I will be visiting again in the coming weeks and even getting to farm / dog / chicken sit for a couple of days. Maybe then there will be something to stir the photo - mojo and I'll get it back. We'll see ...
