Subdued

I’ve said this before – I am an amateur photographer and a newbie “birder.” Sometimes I evaluate my projects against a standard that I’m trying to reach, rather than for what I actually see before me.

Today, I headed out to see what was going on around the property, knowing that I probably wouldn’t get any “decent” photos. After enduring two days of nasty weather, I wasn’t concerned about snapping the perfect photo. I just knew it would be good for my soul.

Here I present images I captured today in very low light – late in the day with overcast skies.

I need to remind myself to see the natural, artistic expression of a photo that I’ve taken – regardless of whether it’s perfectly in focus, properly lit or the subject is well composed. Natural beauty is beautiful.
