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.
Fall Storm in Wyoming
One of my favorite things in the world to do is to search for shots. There is no map or final destination. Off the beaten path, on the very west of Wyoming lies this. For more info on this Image please go here

There’s a tremendous power in using the least amount of information to get a point across. -Rick Rubin
I couldn’t agree more. Instead of forcing a shot, follow the light and take advantage of what’s happening right in front of you. Mission Bay Park in San Diego, California. If you’d like to purchase “The Magic Tree’ go here

Nature’s Art
SCOTT PAPEK PRESENTS “NATURE’S ART”
“Nature’s Art” is a limited edition of only 300 prints and captured in eastern Idaho October 22, 2012.
I envisioned this shot 2 years ago and was finally able to bring my imagination to life with some luck and persistence. I would give anything in the world to be a painter but unfortunatley my brain and hands don’t understand the concept. When picking up a camera 5 years ago it made instant sense to me and has given me a way to paint in another format.
The technique is placing your camera on a tripod in portrait mode, slow down the shutter speed and move the camera up and down during the shot. Just like all long exposure shots you never know what you are going to get. You could say this image is very different from my other work but what’s inside me is all the same.
