Naturally Arranged Still by

I saw this little arrangement and loved it. Loved it … walked around … took shots … didn’t like the shots … tried every angle … it just didn’t want to look the way I’d “seen” it … how very very frustrating. I mean, what’s with that. I saw it, so why couldn’t I convert it into an image?! … Do you ever get that? You see it … I mean really see it … and you take shots and none of them do it justice the way you’d taken the image in with your all seeing magically creative eye …
Of the umpteen shots I took of this little still scene, this one came closest to what I was perceiving … :) I loved the way mother nature had arranged herself in this little mini world of colour and texture :)

    I can hear the largest mushroom thinking “I’m taller than you two!”

    Mother Nature was probably laughing at the way you were beating yourself up over not getting what you want! It’s very simple, you just have to get your camera a new pair of glasses and your problems will be solved. Lol! I’ve been there and understood every word you said. It’s a good thing that we are in the digital age and can take pictures until we’re satisfied with what we’ve been given! Loved your story, great shot! Dee

  • Dee – thank you so much! I feel better now that I’m not alone :) And yeah – she was probably havign a proper giggle at me … ;)

    a collage of texture and shape and know what you mean with these sort of shots, trying to capture a mini landscape or sculpture in a single shot
