Solitude

Photo quote for today: 

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.  Art is knowing which ones to keep". - Scott Adams After photographing landscapes in Maine and the even larger landscapes of the Southwest for the last 35 years I have found it very challenging trying to accomplish anything close to the same here, in my new home in Florida. With everything being as green as it is, and flat, I've had to revisit my definition of what I envision to be a landscape. After some thought I've settled on working areas by the beaches, along with the great cloud formations that form over the prairie (see my earlier post). At this time they're both a work in progress and subject to change as I keep exploring my options. In this series I'm studying the effects of ultra long exposures, in pre-dawn light, to see how differing surf conditions impact the composition. Of course the tides here only vary by a foot, between high and low tide, so I'll have to wait for a storm to blow in for a true test of what things will look like.
