Let's stop here for a moment. If I were a plein air painter, which I am not, I would carry a paintbox and a small easel instead of a camera. Alongside the path, I would clamp a small panel in my easel and, facing the line of trees on the edge of that field, paint a quick study—weeds and trees—with a palette of sienna, umber, green and purple.
If I were a painter, my brush could create sycamore trees where they are needed for light and contrast, but as a photographer, I am pleased that nature provided these sycamores, for without them, there would be no picture.
