On Where To Photograph

The flower above (Columbine) was against a fence in the back lane behind my house. I think that many of us started out wanting to photograph the grand landscape, and with limited time and equipment, found ourselves frustrated and photography not as much fun as we had expected - especially after a few photographic trips which didn't produce anything resembling the grand landscape.

This didn't have to be a flower - it could have been a weed or a rusting bicycle or a fence badly needing painting. It could have been about interesting shadows or odd shapes or funny colours or about the oddest things that people throw out, park or dump behind their houses.
