Here is another picture that occupies the indistinct area between photography and painting. It depicts a section of the Trent River in Ontario near the town of Campbellford and was taken from a footbridge that crosses the gorge. It’s admittedly not the most stunning or interesting composition. But the three-way division of sky, land and water has a pleasing symmetry and the colours are moderately stimulating.

So why should anyone care?

This picture is best viewed from a distance. But while it doesn’t have the kinds of fascinating details seen in something like “Impending Spring” (see crop at: http://www.thewingthing.com/tarmo_images/Impending_Spring_crop.htm), it is definitely worth looking at up close for the texture and colour interactions. Not that this picture is a shining example of it but these types of interactions can only be created by a computer and only when guided by someone with an artistic mind and knowledge of the tools.
