#16 “Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer—and often the supreme disappointment.” ~Ansel Adams

Photographing nature always frustrates me. It always seems that no matter how I try, the photo never lives up to what I actually saw and experienced. Sunsets especially. They never seem as vivid in a photo as they did in real life.

I think that no how incredibly accurate cameras get, I have a feeling that nothing will be able to fully capture what we see through our own eyes. That being said, the challenge for the photographer is to get as close as they can.

Most of the time, I think that these frustrating moments are hints, telling me to put down the camera, be still, and just see.
