various scenes

I am not really a landscape photographer, at least not one of the common sort who spends a lot of time and effort tweaking up pictures of sunrises and slow-motion waterfalls into something suitable to put in a frame and sell at K-Mart. Is that cynical? Well yes, it is. But it is the reality: the vast majority of ’landscape photography’ is more about Photoshop fantasy than actual landscapes. I have little regard for it. I am much more interested in realistic landsapes - non-fiction ones if you like - pictures which show something about the real world and the real things which grow in it. For the most part they are pretty much unmodified from the actual scene as captured by the camera, and presented with colours not very far away from real life.
