Greg's Tree Photos
"To heal mine aching moods, About these Digital Tree Photos I began taking digital tree photos as a way to preserve subjects, which I would like to paint. But became an expressive form for me from my first tree photo & first day with a digital camera. Almost all the photos on this site were taken with a basic 2.1 mega pixel digital camera, with 3x optical zoom and 12x total zoom. In taking digital photos the compactness and efficiency of the camera provides certain freedoms. It allows me to move about the trees; I can run, dance, skip, climb, sit or stroll, all of which give me more access to the subject. In comparing digital photography to painting, I find that digital cameras provide the freedom to capture thousands of compositions in the time it could take to complete a single painting. Each painting and composition is so precious partly because it takes so much time, effort and patience to complete. On the other hand, a digital photo can be executed so quickly that one can examine and play with numerous compositions in a relatively small amount of time. Time and space are no longer in the way of exploring compositions and expressing oneself. Now the act of creation occurs at light speed and the work is stored in a, virtually, invisible and mass-less state. Now the challenge is simply on choosing the right subjects and compositions. ~GH |
