The first attempt to capture the gloomy willows on the banks of the Shogrash River was not entirely successful for me. I went out to shoot too late in the season - when the sky at night is not completely darkened. It was spring. I just had to wait until late autumn, when there would be dark nights and all the foliage would fall from the trees.
For some reason, I first went to Osanovo Grove, because there are also gloomy places there, but I did not see mysticism there.
One must immediately go where thoughts are directed. I could show only the best photos at once, but I will show the entire creative stage...the search for subjects.
I need to go to Osanovo Grove on a winter starry night!
Clear skies in autumn and winter are much darker than overcast skies, which are illuminated by city street lights. It is light outside, in short, darkness cannot be reached!
Therefore, I did not waste time and went to the Shogrash River, where I wanted to initially.
The Shogrash River is much darker, but still not what I wanted. Another unsuccessful sortie?
The mood began to decline, but something kept me here.
The landscape is good compositionally, but the sky is bright...
I began to look around and tried to understand what attracts me here every time and keeps me so long, does not let go. Maybe I need to capture the texture of tree trunks?
Maybe it should be tree crowns? But the bright sky will turn this landscape into a cloudy evening one. There is not even a hint of the darkness of the night.
Gradually, something began to emerge.
