Continuing in the series on one of my favorite hobbies, photography:
Notions of Landscaping by Michael Doyle Still life perfected in the land Just you, the light and what you understand Arriving early, just to stay late Apply your imagination and it will be great A shadowed land of prompted visualization Probes the golden light of your fascination Up with the rooster to catch the light And then again as the day fades into night The rural speaks in its quietness Dressed up casual in its warm gentleness While city life goes buzzing on by As life happens on the cosmopolitan fly The stage is nearly always set Waiting for the players we won't forget Vertical thirds define the frame That adds the flair to defining the same Beyond the cake and into the icing It's a story told of our devising It's the something extra that pays to be seen The story told that leads its meaning Remember that photos taken from aerial Can lend that something extra to your photo's feel The dance of life must taken in its layer If you want the zest to be seen in its flair Conversely, lowering means less landscape not more But brings your subject dramatically to the fore Adding shapes of complexity is nothing devious It just helps in going beyond the overstated obvious Taking a photo of the same ole beautiful sunset Can have an added layer turning east without regret The world becomes awash in a reflection of red In a trick of light from which should never be fled Whether stormy or not, let this be understood It's all about capturing light in a way that's good Always looking for those things bringing animation The movement will capture the needed fascination (c) June 3, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
