One Thousand Rays
Nature has constant wonder and beauty for the eye. Too often it only lasts for a moment and then it passes. As a photographer we must be prepared to capture these images with instantaneous spontaneity. Once the moment has passed you can’t go back, so be prepared for the unexpected.
This image is an excellent example of what are often called ‘Gods Rays’. They have been interpreted in paintings since the Renaissance. But unlike the painter the camera captures only what is there without additional embellishment. This photograph is as inspirational as any nineteenth centenary painting.
One of the interesting features about this composition is the contrast in color above and below the clouds. The blue-gray above represents misery and the yellow-gold below can be seen as hope and warmth. This is an interesting graphic going on within this simple composition. You will note that the landscape rises from the horizontal plane to the mountains on the left. The clouds mirror this rise from right to left.
