Comments on: A Spanish Sunset http://www.milescollins.com/wordpress/a-spanish-sunset Food - Photography & More Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:07:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 by: miles http://www.milescollins.com/wordpress/a-spanish-sunset#comment-25285 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 08:58:34 +0000 http://www.milescollins.com/wordpress/a-spanish-sunset#comment-25285 Laura, Thank you, a great comment. That's a good question and funnily enough something I was thinking about whilst I was sat on that beach. I was thinking about how I would like to take a closer look at conservation issues when I got back to the UK and write about it on here. Nothing scientific but more of a 'layman's' view if you will. As I sat there I noticed a plastic bottle wedged under a rock at the side of the path. I looked at it and the scenery beyond and, not for the first time wondered why anyone could leave rubbish in a place of such beauty. I photographed the scene and last night downloaded the photos. I thought about that bottle again and how someone else would say 'photoshop it out' but I haven't. Because to me it shows the negative in what, at first glance is a positive. My ultimate ambition is to photograph a subject which provokes thought in others rather than just a simple 'oh, that's nice'. A lot easier said than done. I'll put that photograph up later.... Thanks Laura Miles Laura,

Well, Nature/God made it and you captured it perfectly. Strange question, but as a photographer, do you ever wonder conceptually about "capturing" scenes? On the one hand you make semi-permanent the beauty around you. On the other, sometimes photos have a negative or non-positive energy to them - like when a protrait reveals something strange or hidden about someone you thought you knew. . . Did you ever experience this, or is it just me? L Lovely sunset, Miles!
