From my living room window today I saw this little trail of snow on top of Ben Ledi so grabbed my camera (can’t tell you how long it’s been since Ben Ledi was visible from my window – we’ve had days of wild winds and rain or thick, heavy mists hiding the mountains).
What often catches me by surprise are the really obvious things in the picture which I only see when I put it up on the mac and just didn’t notice at all as I pointed my camera and clicked. First of all look at that huge, heavy, water-laden cloud up there! How didn’t I see that?! But look also at the bird in flight – isn’t that beautiful? You couldn’t manufacture a shot like that. I love that about photography – how it can raise our awareness and deepen our perception of the world. I swear I look at the world differently when I’ve been looking at photos and/or when I’ve got one of my cameras in my hand. It’s a kind of second sight…..you see it once, then you see it better!
Second sight

Isn’t it interesting the things we see when we take a second, closer look?
Yes, and how often we are in such a hurry to move on that we don’t even take a first look!
