The Sweet Light

The Sweet Light is a special quality of light sought after by landscape photographers. Every photographer faces the challenge of capturing a beautiful landscape scene that inspires them to photograph it. But the scene they experience is 4-dimensional. How can they recreate its depth and grandeur in a 2-dimensional rectangular picture? By appreciating how the quality of light interacts with the landscape scene. The Sweet Light is the light that gives landscape photographs their sense of three-dimensional depth and luminosity. It is found under certain atmospheric conditions, often early in the morning or late afternoon.

I search for the Sweet Light, the golden glow of the sun that illuminates nature’s sublime expression of creativity and intelligence in the landscapes around me. The beauty of this light leads me along trails and byways, drawing me to my own inner silence. In that silence I witness and capture nature's splendor with my camera.   Explore the Sweet Light in my galleries:
