When walking with a camera (or phone camera) it’s a good habit to looking around as you walk. I was reminded of this yesterday near a construction site.
I’m pretty sure that I walked by this overhead scene previously, partly because I was interested in the work site below. I “saw the image” this time, only because I was enjoying the clear blue spring sky.
Later yesterday evening, while working at the kitchen sink, I noticed two jet trails in the sky. I grabbed my phone and quickly walked up the road until I was able to frame an image without visual distractions.
Technical: Over many years I seem to have become an automatic observer of my surroundings—noticing more and always looking for what (I feel) would make an interesting image.
(Both images on this page were shot with a phone,)
