Yesterday was a perfect summer day, and a friend and I set out early to enjoy the morning and see if we could capture some images.
The sky was a cloudless blue – it was the kind of day that visitors to the gallery often remark is, "the perfect day to take pictures." I don't usually bother to correct them: those are the nicest days to be out with a camera, but they are the most difficult for a landscape photographer, since a sky without clouds tends to also lack personality.
We hiked along one of the many streams in the area and, as I wrote about in an earlier post, I liked the composition of many of the images but not the color — a homogenous summer green.
I converted to B&W, as I did the earlier image, and the end result expresses, for me, the timeless feeling of this setting.
