Omg, Derek, that's amazing! Hahaha.
As far as projecting your own vision in landscape photography, I've found that photographers typically have a vision they've developed in their mind, and then they respond to a scene that activates and reflects that vision they've developed by capturing it. Is this sort of how you work?
Hehe, thank you. It's fun trying to copy a painting like this, finding props and arranging them to be just right, or as close as is possible. ;)
Yes, I would agree with that assessment. I have ideas in my head about the kind of photos that I want to take, and how I will process them, and to some extent I mentally project those ideas on the scene in front of me. And definitely having a vision in mind already helps to distill order from the chaos of a scene and more quickly hone in on the best vantage points to make that vision come to life. Although I've never thought about it that way until you mentioned it.
