Notes from 2016-08-02 shoot with Andy in Springfield and then photo editing later that day
Thought from Andy on the day regarding his waterfall shot: "hard to believe this was that waterfall under the bridge...both yours and mine, the simplicity of the photograph(s) makes them say more....I really enjoy taking a photo somewhere...and through isolating the subject, make a photo that creates mood and almost doesn't seem like the same place.....things I think about when processing an image....simplify....crop unnecessarry "niose" in the image and create mood....good stuff....just wait, you will start seeing the world differently, now...it just happens....framing, leading lines, light, etc....and you are off to a great start...you have a good eye...have fun....ill look at the image you sent later and give some feedback....look forward to seeing what u get back home"
