Photography, it's all about the light, baby."

Dear Image creators,
Canadian Landscape photographer, Daryl Benson, says, "The moment you take the leap of understanding that you are not photographing a subject but are photographing light, is when you have control over the medium."
Light set the tone, creates a mood, enhances texture, or subdues detail. Light is the adjective that describes the subject. Light is the adverb that expresses the nuances of both action and subject. Light is the fragrance that fills the scene. Light is the sound of the image, hushed in darkness or deafening in blaring brightness.
You listen with your eyes. In that moment, when your senses are alert; listen as you take your glasses off to hear deeper. Light will begin to speak to you. Sit a little longer during different moments of the day.
Light voice speaks with brilliant colors, soft, velvety, harsh and directional. Dawn rolling in, low clouds holding back speckled saturated morning-color, light. Night creates strong contrast with areas of deep shadow, interrupted with sounds of light and clarity.
Subtle to taste, soft shadows hover the earth swept dirt. Lights voice screams though the leaves infuse and rim the bark of the tree.
Listen, early morning, or listen, mid-day, sunny or overcast; listen with your eyes. Listen in the evening, the sun-set kiss the moment, golden sweet-lips sings, light voice, perfect.

I absolutely love "backlit" that is gorgeous. That is the kind of picture I want to capture, the light speaks volumes in the color produced. Excellent work.

That was one of those perfect moments walking through Balboa Park San Diego. I turned the corner and the big, colorful backlit leaf just said take my photo please. I thought it very odd that other people with cameras were just passing it by and didn't even take notice.

...and that is the difference. It is not about the camera but about the eye behind the camera. Makes me wonder when I am out with my camera how many great shots I walk past?

That's very nice. I like what you did with the light in each of the shots of the plants and trees. I really like the starburst of the sun too.
