As we learn more about the entries into our annual photo contest, it is particularly interesting to discover that, while many images are captured while embarking on a photographic quest, many more are taken while engaging in some of life’s day-to-day activities. Case in point: Berit Francis’ Be Gone, Boat!
“I drove my daughter to and from work that morning and noticed the gentle fog and spectacular coloring on the lake,” she says. “I simply pulled off the road and found a spot depicting the empty boat lift/docks.”
Photos often elicit different reactions from viewers. Francis has her own impression. “The water and general view was mesmerizing to me. The still water and muted colors felt particularly soothing and peaceful,” she says.
While the hobbyist photographer enjoys taking nature photos, she is particularly drawn to water scenes where she can capture—you guessed it—reflections.
