This article came up on my Facebook feed, and had to share. Do you ever see an image in your head, and just know that it will require you to lie on a dirty ground to get it? I laugh as I remember the countless times this has happened to me. I don't mind getting dirty, whether it be lying on the ground or climbing muddy stone to get that image I want... and it is always amusing to see people's reactions when I do...
The funniest reaction I ever got was from a friend's husband. My friend had just gotten married, and asked me to take some photos of her and her husband. We went up to the rooftop patio, and the night sky was amazing... I took a few photos of them just enjoying the night, and then I just had to capture an image with the moon in the background. The only way I could accomplish this was to lay on the ground and shoot up... My friend's new husband, who was having a little bit of trouble following the conversation with my friend (English was his recently learned 4th language), saw me go to lie on the ground and freaked out... "What are you doing? Don't lie on the ground..."... I told him it was ok and that I was trying to take a picture with the moon in it... he was still bewildered.... I showed him the picture, and he like it but he still thought I was strange to do that for a picture.
I have yet to wade into a river or lake to take a picture... but there is one shot on my running route that tempts me to do just that... Maybe soon...
In the mean time, enjoy this article and photos of one Yorkshire photographer who will do what it takes to get that perfect shot for his clients.
