Stalking the light...

Well, actually I was stalking a Great Blue Heron. The Heron had often been sitting in this tree over the previous two weeks. I was hoping to capture a silhouette and the subtle contrast between the shape of the bird and the limbs of the tree. But of course, after a couple of hours the sun began to set and the GBH was nowhere to be seen. I was still very attracted to this silhouette and decided on a black and white capture.

Abstract patterns are everywhere...

This image reminds me of a quote -

"The more you look around at things, the more you see. The more you photograph, the more you realize what can be photographed and what can't be photographed. You just have to keep doing it." -Eliot Porter

If you don't continually look at the things around you the opportunities to photograph will never happen.
