Impressions of Light - those are your photographs? Beautiful!!!

I wonder, do you wait for the light to be a certain way and then take your photographs
or do you photograph spontaneously, with whatever is available?
Your work is Majestic!

Well, certainly using morning or evening light is one of my tricks. But usually, I look for light in whatever situation I'm in. I try to avoid harsh light in any case..
Thanks for your kind words!

I ask, because my husband goes mountain biking in Utah - he met a photographer who does beautiful work, but he will wait as much as a week or two - until he gets exactly the light that he wants; then he takes the photograph and walks home!
I just thought, if he is sitting and waiting, how many possible photographs he is ignoring. I am the spontaneous type, so I can hardly imagine being fixed on a goal like he is.

I think if you have the luxary of taking the time to do that, then it could work out. I however barely have time to tie my shoes on any given day and so must try to place myself in locations where the light can present itself to me. I have occasionally thought about figuring out the exact moon-rise time for instance and then trying to place myself in some location where it is perfect, but then....I'm sort of a spontaneous type also and just don't have the patience...

I was in Venice a few years back and your picture certainly captures the romance of the more hidden areas.

Thanks...I need to go back some day for longer than 3 days and really explore the city...we only touched probably 25% of it.

That building is so lovely to be lost under the water.

As it has been said: "Time and Tide wait for no Man."
And apparently, Man's creations are no exceptions to this rule.
I wouldn't mind visiting Venice, if only to ogle it like a real tourist.
