Art Happens

What do you get when you combine a landscape photographer and a wildlife shoot? Art ;-)

As we were shooting the wonderful landscape along the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park some ducks made an unexpected arrival and not having time to reset my camera I turned and snapped a few blurry frames. Over time I've come to recognize that mistakes can often lead to good results and if embraced take us in new and unanticipated paths.


A similar thing happened to me in Monument Valley a number of years ago!

Motion can also be intentional and effective. Thanks to Eddie Soloway for encouraging me to try this type of shot and embracing motion blur as an artistic technique...
