This evening I read a photography book by Freeman Patterson, "Photographing the World Around You". It is a good, short book, containing a lot of hints and exercises to free the reader from fixed conventions about what makes a photograph. Patterson is good in explaining complicated things simply (perhaps they are not so complicated after all), such as the basic abstract shapes which form a photo. There were a lot of ideas in the book to explore at some point.
This photograph was taken today evening just as a storm front was approaching. I was not really paying attention to the subject, but there was something interesting in a tree fence which had become semi-transparent when the leaves had fallen. There is also a kind of order in the complexity which I like. I tried different aspect ratios with the image, and finally used a square. This seems to fit quite nicely. I'm quite happy with the result, although the subject is perhaps not so happy.

It was lovely to be tired.
