Frame-A-Day: Forest Park at Dawn

124. Forest Park at Dawn, originally uploaded by jeffrey_knight.

As much as I enjoy taking landscape photographs, I've never really done the whole 'wake up and get to your chosen spot before sunrise' thing. I know about the soft 'magic light' in the time surrounding sunrise and sunset, but I've never had enough discipline to act on that.

Recently, however, I've been thinking I need to take a more considered approach to my 'frame-a-day' project. Random snapshots of various things can be fun, but if I want get anything out of this project, I need to be putting more into it.

That is not to say everything I post from here out will be nothing short of a masterpiece. As I said above, random snapshots are fun, and they do really help when it comes to photographic dry spells, but there are times I will have to give my photos much more thought than I have been in recent weeks/months. The discipline of shooting and posting more often must now tighten up into shooting and posting more deliberate subject matter.
