A spooky moon through trees along the River Walk at Margaret River, Western Australia. Taken far too late when the sky was really dark, so it took a lot of work to bring out a bit of detail in the bright moon while retaining just a bit of the canopy of the tree in the dark sky.

I can’t remember ever having gone into a dire “I’ve lost it” period, but one certainly goes stale from time to time. I’ve found two techniques to help:

1st: don’t stress, rather just accept it that the fires is burning low … most likely a breeze will fan the embers before long;

2nd: pick up the camera and walk out the door (figuratively or really – it might just be a matter of arranging a couple of things on the mantle shelf to create a subject) and be open to the idea of clicking the shutter button if something looks half interesting. I find the juices begin to flow as soon as the camera is clamped to the eye. The results might not be masterpieces, but it’s surprising what is there to be turned up if you just give yourself a chance.
