Field Notes
Field Notes is a landscape and nature photography journal, made of video shorts recorded while out in the field making the image that is displayed with the video, these videos give a glimpse to the thought process and the making of the images on this page. Field Notes will be moving to my Patreon page, consider joining to see more content like this and help support the photography journey I share on the Riding The Edge Photography Youtube channel.
Shades of Gold - The stages of decomposition is the story this image is telling. The limited use of color helps to tell the story of autumn, from a newly fallen leaf surrounded by other leaves in more advanced stages of decomposing, returning back to the soil during the cycle of life in the forest. Camera - Nikon D810 Lens - Nikon 85mm 1.8G
