Sometimes seeing is not believing. This is certainly the case in this image. What you see before is a composite photograph. The front portion of the image was shot near Regina Canada this past summer. The sky and clouds were “borrowed” from an earlier image shot somewhere in southwest Iowa. Whenever I make a composite image, I try to signal to the viewer that the image has been tweaked. I usually do this with the aid of filter or two that will give the final image an other worldly look. As Ansel Adams said, “I don’t take photographs. I make photographs.” I like that idea. If it was good enough for Ansel Adams, it is definitely good enough for me. If you agree, maybe we are twins.
