An image people seem to like. There's a different type of interest people have with it. This may not be what it seems. I shot it and on initial review, wondered what it was. I'll post what and where at a later date. No "key words" today!
Did the camera make the image or did the photographer? It amazes me that so often, after one enjoys an image they ask, “what camera did you use?” The camera can be important but it’s only a tool. The photographer’s unique vision is far more crucial. If it’s a good image, it’s “what camera?” If it’s a bad image, it’s “who shot that?”
The camera can be important, but so is the lens, the batteries, the strap, tripod, sensor, film, etc. Would anyone think of asking a painter what brush they used?
A camera, while necessary, is a means to an end, but not a creator.
This is not a how-to forum. It’s a WHY thing. Why was this image created? How did we get here? I will provide some technical details here and there, but only when it’s important to the story.
All images were created in-camera. Quite often I do use Camera Raw to set my black and white points, but any effect you think may be there is created by manipulating the camera and/or shooting through things. I use film, digital..any format that I have.
My journey with photography has been a never-ending search for something. Where I used to look for an image, I’ve learned better to see. What if I look for a pumpkin and all that’s there are eggs?

Is it a mossy tree trunk over-exposed?
nope!
When are you going to tell what it is? Did you use the filter you ran over? I don't think so but I'm stuck on tree bark.
I was there when you captured this one and I would have guessed wrong otherwise
OK, I'll tell the entire world now.
This is a telephone pole that is loaded with staples and little shards of paper from old informative posts. No posts today though.
