As you may know, we recently got back from another trip to the Eastern Sierras where the wildflowers were nothing short of spectacular. We had gone in search of any wild iris fields which hadn’t yet fried in the record temperatures and found a couple of amazing spots at the base of the mountains north of Bishop. A landscape photographer’s dream shoot and indeed Heather scored with some fabulous shots, a few of which were posted here earlier.
I, on the other hand, did nothing but struggle to get even any keepers. It was an exercise in sheer frustration and I was tempted to just pack up and go. Dang it all, I’m beginning to think landscape just isn’t my strong suit no matter how I wish it were! Sigh.
But I finally figured that just because I was there in the midst of all that glory it didn’t mean I had to capture the whole picture. My photographer’s eye was a blur and so what the heck. Shoot as such! Here’s another perspective of some of the most amazing iris fields you’ll ever see. (You just won’t actually know that they were the most amazing fields you’ll ever see!)
Okay, so the following wasn’t in the iris fields. But my blurry vision persists…

You certainly should do more stuff like this.
Wonderful imagery, a great eye, and I am particularly taken by the second and fourth one.
Very nice!!

Sharpness is way overrated. It’s not the way I see at all. Definitely a good blur.
