Content With Silence

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
Ansel Adams

And, there is silence standing in an open field shrouded with fog. One of the perks of life.

A very nice perk, Monte. and an excellent photo.

Oh, that’s just wonderful, Monte! A nice, silent place to be.

A farmers field with no one around. It was nice.

Love the subtle colors and mood of this one…

I darkened it a bit with spit toning in LR4 which altered the mood a bit. Thanks, David!

Really nice! I love fog, but I’m never entirely satisfied with the results I get. This one would be an exception!

I know exactly what you mean. My fog and backlit subjects still need work but that’s part of the journey.

Silence is truly golden, and all too rare.

This photo really speaks to me, but in a quiet voice. Shhhhh….

I always loved that quote from Adams. Beautiful shot here Monte. This type of light and mood is a rare thing around here.

I think I’ve used his quote before so it’s value needs to be posted more often. It is also rare around here as foggy mornings are few and far between.
