Perhaps it is due to the fact that I have been taking photographs for over forty years, but whatever the reason, I always take special notice of “the light” every day.
Photography is essentially the capture of light through lens, and in the days of film a clear summer day was not to be ignored, because good light led to great photos!
Summer heat and humidity, and transpiration from the leaves on the trees usually produce a persistent haze that makes long range shots challenging.
So when you get a relatively haze-free day combined with big, moist cumulus clouds that are containing the water vapor for now, it’s time to start taking pictures.
A simple country lane is transformed into an incredible landscape. A road though a park becomes a postcard.
It would have been easy to pass by these summer scenes without so much as a second look!
And that would have been my loss!
