I’m glad you enjoyed your time at that beautiful lake, I certainly enjoyed your image — and I will say I’ve never seen that scene depicted before so it was a revelation to me. 💜
Also, you should def come to Oslo in fall, or any time during a bout of rain, as we have huge brown slugs that come out en masse. It’s actually pretty disgusting, and I’m a nature lover (minus cockroaches). 😉
This is great. I think about this all the time —trying (and usually failing) to find a new way to photograph something that has been photographed many times before.
I’m trying to find a place where I allow myself to think (or overthink) about it, without being frustrated by it. The thinking is good, probably helpful, but allowing myself to be bothered by it is such a waste of time.
I wish we all had benefactors paying us to photograph lovely, lonely little trees in the fog.
Wouldn't it be lovely to have someone fund us?! And I think you're approaching it in a healthy way, or at least understanding the frustration isn't worth it. I still hade an amazing experience, and I still love the final images. We just live in a time where we can actually see everyone else's work so quickly. Would we feel the same if we couldn't? Comparison... the thief of joy.
