Dubrovnik, Croatia. 🇭🇷 No hook and no AI.
I really like natural frames and how they draw the eye into the subject. Though, I've become mindful not to over use the technique.
I am very self-critical by nature. It's a good and bad thing. The good part is being able to look at my own work from a different perspective, realising that my love for natural frames can become too obsessive. Resulting in missed opportunities. Photos that could have existed if it were not for the love of frames. Good thing to be aware of when I have a camera in hand.
Anyways. Dubrovnik is another missed opportunity of sorts. Less so because of the frames but because by the time Christine Lemmer and I arrived, we had already enjoyed almost two weeks and thousands of kilometres in Europe.
If I remember correctly, we spent more time watching The Office than exploring. We were a little homesick and tired of walking and driving. If only I could go back now and make the most of those few days. I'd very much enjoy walking and driving through a foreign world right now.
It's still all a net positive because I have a fail forward mindset. Go out there, live and capture. Reflect and learn. Go again, live and capture better. Repeat.
