Riverbend - a photo on Flickriver

Riverbend

            My posts today I have been reflecting on the relationship between Nature and Spirit. There is a danger in photography that we see so many images, we simply forget to look.

In a beautiful little practical book, "Zen Camera", Hawaiian photographer David Ulrich speaks of "creative awakening with a daily practice in photography." It starts with beginning to train ourselves to see. This is the best tool we have in our camera bag.

Composition is our goal - getting into a photograph those elements we want to convey to the viewer and doing so in a balanced and beautiful way. But before this we must look at the elements in our shot, and what story they tell. Tasmanian artist Max Angus, told of his friend Peter Dombrovskis' method: "Peter would look very intensely at a scene and let it speak to him. Then he would set up his camera and wait...and wait... and when the light and moment was right...click."

What I loved about this scene was the way the jet of water poured through the narrow channel in the bottom left-hand corner and fell some 10 metres into the river itself. That gentle bend in the river highlights the ancient rocks. And when we look into the trees we see that moss hanging from the branches. Primordial. It's an exercise we all should do (according to David Ulrich) at least once a day.
