Hi Jon ... It's nice to know that you've found something that resonates for you in the photograph.
I shot a fair number of similar frames that day, all within a span of two or three minutes, each with a slightly different position of the gun, a slightly different relationship between the gun and the trees, and, of course, with a few different cloud formations and positions. Over a year or so the trees went through their full cycle, so there are pics with trees in many different states. Likewise the lighting. It's been fun, and a project like this may never really end. There will always be another snap, another POV for looking at the scene. It's not a big deal, and as Ann suggested, maybe I'm putting more time into it than it's worth. But the idea of photographing one object over a long period of time is appealing. More so that the subject is unusual. And really, the amount of time over the year has only been a fraction of a minute, accumulating at 1/125 second at a time <LOL> Hope you have a grand trip to the US of A. Watch out for gun tottin' cowboys! <vbg> Shel > [Original Message] > From: Jon Glass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I don't believe the clouds are an accident, nor or the > treeless leaves.
