I was thinking... Nature Photography has so many potential moments to capture beautiful images - mountains, animals, flowers, sunsets - there's such an opportunity for so many things. So much so that as I look back at my 20 plus years of photography, I start to notice something... I seem to have a draw, at times, for something a bit different. Maybe something a bit more... artsy. You see, some of the best moments to photograph are actually ones that might seem a bit simple. But they're not. There may be instances where you come across a beautiful composition, and realize the reason why it stands out is because - it has a really appealing pattern.
Below are an assortment of images I've taken through the years, and each one has an elegant beauty all its own.
Whether it's seashells strewn on an ocean coast, or the remains of a charred old wooden stump; a quiet evening in a maple forest, or even a patch of painted metal siding, there is something special finding these moments where what may seem quiet or uneventful or maybe even commonplace - can really become something special. Keep an eye out on your travels for these instances. You never know when you might stumble upon something that you can use to great effect!
I reflect on the opening verse of this article from the Book of Titus. I realize from a photographic point of view how beautiful different patterns can be. How much infinitely more so does our Lord God view those patterns when he looks upon our lives? Does that pattern, in how we live and conduct ourselves, shew forth an image pleasing to God? I look at my own life and realize there have been many times where my own life "patterns" have been anything but appealing - that's for sure... How great is Our Lord's Mercy! These verses are a terrific reminder that there are good patterns, and patterns that are definitely not good... Think about it... I know I sure will...
With that, I think that wraps up this article; I really hope this has been a blessing to you and that you have found some value from it. Please let us know in the comments section below how you are doing, and any feedback will as always be appreciated. Take care, and...
Until next time...
