Being able to put your ego aside, put everything you know about framing and composing your image away for the moment and just let the spirit of the landscape filter into your heart and mind is the basic premise of contemplative photography. Once you have yourself tuned into this sense of place, when you can truly behold what is there in front of you, then begin to make your images. Your knowledge of the medium will be at work in your subconscious, don't worry, but your primary concern is to allow your intuitive nature to guide you. Trust me, it will not let you down!

A Thought for Today - Christine Valters Paintner

Once you have yourself tuned into this sense of place, when you can truly behold what is there in front of you, then begin to make your images. Your knowledge of the medium will be at work in your subconscious, don't worry, but your primary concern is to allow your intuitive nature to guide you. Trust me, it will not let you down!
