Welcome to Vision Landscapes

Welcome to Vision, Images of the Landscape. I've just returned from a photo shoot in Australia and I've come back with both new images, as well as new thoughts and ideas about photography.

With all endeavors, you need to have a sense of purpose behind what your actions in order to succeed. This sense in purpose goes hand in hand with creativity, often driving it. While it is possible to make compositionally great images without feeling behind them, as many commercial photographers do (this does not mean all do), in the arena of landscape photography this tends to lead to images without "soul".

In future articles on this website, I'll be exploring further the concepts behind creating a sense or purpose, and various photographic techniques to support them. - Robert M. Teague

Dawn, Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand

Moeraki Boulders is located a beach 40 kilometres south of town of Oamaru. According to Maori legend, the boulders are gourds washed from the great voyaging canoe Araiteuru when it was wrecked upon landfall in New Zealand some 1000 years ago. Scientists explain the boulders as septarian concretions formed about 65 million years ago. Crystallization of calcium and carbonates around charged particles in muddy undersea sediments gradually formed the boulders in a process taking as long as four million years. The soft mudstone containing the boulders was raised from the seabed around 15 million years ago and sea erosion is exposing the erosion-resistant boulders.
