the simplest things

I’m in the middle of my “Landscape Photography from A Car” project.

In case you don’t know. it’s me driving around trying to make landscape images that hopefully look remote but are actually taken within just a few steps of my car.

This image though has taken the philosophy behind my project to extremes though!  

This leaf was literally outside my car as I opened the door to get out. All I had to do was reach for my phone (I didn’t even want to get my camera from the boot), frame the leaf and take the picture.

I particularly like the texture in the rock - especially the bit to the right that almost mimics the leaf itself - and of course the stark contrast between it and the leaf.

If only all the images were that simple.
