The Terribly Sad Tale of a Vision Unrealized
Photographers are told to visualize the photo they want, imagine it in all its colors, and lines, and background. Then go for it!
Today, I had two tips. Each by itself would make a cool photo but combining the two would result in a masterpiece!!
Tip #2: people are skating on the thin ice of Tern Lake.
I grabbed my camera and drove to the lake, all while visualizing the photo I wanted. Subjects: skaters and swans. Light: pewter gray day, so that was decided for me
Background: the leafless trees on the far side of the lake.
Composition: to be determined but hopefully skaters in front of, beside, or behind the swans.
IMAGINE!!!
When I arrived, the skaters were gone, as were the swans. No where to be seen.
All I got was this crappy shot of skate marks on the frosted ice of Tern Lake.
Well, I told you it was a sad tale.
