Serene Gathering

Posted on by

For 3 years, the Aspen leaves of Colorado have been taunting me.  But I persevered until I finally captured the peak of foliage.  The leaves of gold whispered in the wind, mimicking the sound of ocean waves from far away.  One of my collectors encouraged me to release this picture.  Listening to his words brought me back to the 3 days of waiting, 3 days of standing in 70 degree weather, 3 days of feeling the breeze wash over me, wash over the leaves until I was finally able to capture the perfect moment, the perfect lighting, the perfect yellow vibrant leaves of the Colorado Aspen.

Nature is Imagination

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
William Blake

I wish I had a chance to have a cup coffee with William Blake so I could tell him how influential his short poem was to me and the whole reason this shot ever happened. My favorite compliment is when my pictures are compared to paintings. The technique for this type of shot is to have your camera on a tripod, slow down the shutter speed and slightly move the camera up or down while taking the image. Does it always work? Not at all. But when you get that one that does, it’s magical. View Nature is Imagination full image here.
