there are shots that belong together (like my moon diptych, but also the landscapist does it, and carl weese recently published shots of a yellow suv/green wall that could be seen as belonging together), and so it's just consistent to frame them together.

trees have been and are a favourite subject of mine, maybe inherited from my father, who knows a lot of them by figure, without having to look at leaves or fruits, and it is astonishing that i still haven't set up a separate keyword or collection for them. well - time to go through the archives again. but now it's time for backup of the latter.

speaking about time constraints, just imagine the following situation: you leave the house to catch the bus (2 days a week i work away from home in munich), the bus is early and leaves you waiting 10 min at -8°c, which is 18°f and not really comfortable. to make the best out of it you start shooting, notice the moon, notice the lamp post and try to figure out something reasonable, cropping loose, cropping tight and so on. finally you see the next bus approaching, pack away your gear when suddenly the streetlights switch off and the scenery changes. get the camera again, frame the shot hastily now as the bus is almost there, press the shutter and run for the bus, glad to get into the warm interior....

now that really was tight...
