SPRING IS OFFICIALLY HERE AND I GLADLY WELCOME IT for 2 reasons; 1) I am sick of the rotating on-again, off-again winter we have been experiencing, and, 2) all of the dead autumn detritus mixed with early emerging spring growth is prime time for picture making.
The pictures in this entry were made last year during the very short window-for picture making-between emerging spring growth and full-on spring growth. Not only is the timing critical but, for my desired picture making result, so is the weather, or, more accurately, so is the light. That’s cuz soft, overcast light is required / mandatory for my intentions.
And then, there is the full-frame vs square-frame thing. For reasons not determined / understood, last year’s pictures were made utilizing the full-frame format. Apparently, I guess that, at that time, that is just the way I was seeing it. I like the result so this year it’s on with same show, framing wise.
