Photograph What Catches Your Eye
By Katherine | November 2, 2008
All of life is a journey, which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there. ~ Author Unknown~
The best way to take great photographs is merely to catch that which catches your eye. Many times the things that can be eye catching are things we take for granted. The photograph above of the trees hovering over the open road I found as I was driving back from a winery in Fort Bragg, California. I probably wouldn’t have noticed it if the light hadn’t been in the perfect position to highlight all the trees and the beautiful view on the other side of the trees. The photograph below is a close up of the fountain on my deck. This particular day, again the light was extraordinary and I loved the way the water tricked down into the pool below, leaving bubbles in the wake. So whatever it is that catches your eye, photograph it. Because, most likely, it will catch the eye of someone else as well.

Very nice. I am still relegated to a Polaroid camera and the Xerox machine, but perhaps someday I shall aspire to a higher calling and procure a legitimate camera.

I’d actually like to see some of the Polaroid photos.
I’m thinking the subject matter might be quite interesting.
