Change in Perspective
At first, when I got to this location to take photos, I saw this tree standing there in the way of the waterfall. I looked at my dad, and said “there’s this annoying tree in the way, blocking my shot.” To which he replied, “No, the tree is the photo.”
I had seen so many of my dad’s waterfall photos that he has taken in the past, and I have always wanted to get my own waterfall shot. So, coming to this waterfall, I was so set on getting that specific photo. I had been so focused on the waterfall at first, that I did not see the beauty of the tree. The tree was the photo, not the waterfall. I switched my focus, and ended up with this photo, with the tree as the subject, providing a strong contrast against the waterfall. What I learned is that sometimes adjusting our perspectives on things goes a long way. “Some people can’t see the forest for the trees”.
Or maybe I am just overthinking this, and the tree really was just photo-bombing the waterfall.
