Three Cedars in the Morning Light by Richard 2014
In my last post, I mentioned how we photographers can learn something from those that went before us who were shooting film. Working with film is a slower and more methodical process. By practicing a more patient and careful approach to our own photography, we can strive to come back from a photo shoot with one great photograph instead of a few good ones.
The other morning I decided to practice this at a favorite place in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. I wanted to make one photograph. Fortunately, it was one of those mornings with remarkable light.
How I Did It – Reading the Light. it is important to study the light in the area you live at all times of day. Doing that helps you get to know it and understand the variety of conditions that can cause it to change. Stare at the sky enough and you will be able to predict what is going to happen and be there when it does.
Enjoy.
My family wishes a very Happy Thanksgiving for all of you who celebrate this day.

Thank you Rich! And a very Happy, Warm, Loving and Tummy Filling Day to you!
Same to you Season. I hope your Thanksgiving was full of warmth and happiness too.
Great capture Richard! 😀 Morning light is magical when you can combine it with a nice landscape as well!
Thank Alex. Morning light is always a great thing and sometimes it is magical.
Love the photo Rich and I never get tired of your ‘three trees’ scenes. The message in this post and your last is one we also preach in our Pinelands Photography School workshops. We tell our participants that they don’t need to come home with a whole portfolio of images … just one they can be really happy with. Ansel Adams said, “Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.”
Knowing you and Al, I would expect that you two would teach this philosophy in your workshops.
