Once it hits you, it just becomes a part of your workflow.
Instinct.
Pushing out all the rhetoric that others cage themselves with opens the mind to all possibilities. No more narrow field of view. The camera is set up manually...even focus is made manually.
There is no regard to manifestos, "classic techniques" or "the masters" (means and methods). These are respected, but mean little to a walk that looks to understand the holistic experience at the personal level (interpretive impression).
Color over there, warm components right here, crazy level lighting in that direction, subjected forms at that level over there with specific values that will add to the message.
There is a sense of urgency as colors and clouds are shifting continuously. Test runs are made to confirm value interactions...and then it all busts loose before it changes too much. One frame.....second frame....wait....wait....third frame subject is not cooperating. Sometimes the wait just takes FOREVER before finishing....(several minutes). By then the light has changed! Adjust for changes. Maybe a secondary subjective value? Yes...there...that's it....BAM!
Occasionally, it works. Other times I have to leave the area completely to find the final segment because too much has changed.
Then people complain when I use post processing.
Right.
Once again...I have been informed that my work does not fit a determined mold for gallery representation. Rejection is not uncommon in this saturated market. I get it...it has more to do with marketability than anything else.
