"It’s the eye that sees, the heart that feels, and the brain that interprets and creates the final image." With @letsgoto_pl / "I captured this series on our trip to the Faroe Islands in August 2020. The archipelago may seem small on the map, but the islands are so raw, unspoiled, and indescribably beautiful, that you really don’t know in which direction to look.
We had plenty of time to visit almost every corner of the Islands and came back to the same places multiple times to explore them from different perspectives. Nevertheless, I must admit that I usually don’t travel to take a specific photo. I travel for the experiences, they are much more valuable for me than photos. I just have my camera with me when those precious moments are coming along, and that is exactly what happened with the fifth image of this series.
We were hiking the same route for the third time so we already knew it by heart. The clouds that day were hovering over the landscapes quite low and at some point, they started to move upwards, slowly, and some small sun rays were breaking through. What caught my eyes here were those impressive layers of the mountain on the opposite island. I took my telephoto lens and was zooming in and out for a bit to try to find the best composition. Then suddenly, that little boat appeared from nowhere, illustrating perfectly the true scale of the place. That happens to be my favorite type of composition; an isolated little object with a massive nature element in the background.
The camera is the tool to capture the scene, but it doesn’t know what you feel at that moment or what you want to convey with the photo. It’s the eye that sees, the heart that feels, and the brain that interprets and creates the final image.
If there’s one thing I learned from this photo, it is that there is no point in chasing that perfect photo. Having huge expectations beforehand would often lead to disappointment and therefore, decrease the joy you can potentially obtain from the actual experience. Often, it is better to enjoy the precious moments and contemplate what unfolds in front of your eyes in the very present. Only that, can be your perfect photo."
