No, not silly at all- I think that's exactly how it is.

Sometimes in early evening at the cottage I go for a walk. The woods is full of captured sunlight - I love it. But I can't quite seem to take a picture of it. I'm sure part of it is that I *see* it in three dimensions, and when I take the picture it's just flat on the page.

If I had [livejournal.com profile] suzilem's eye and talent, perhaps I could take the picture and have it look like what I see-what I picture.

If I'm unsure about a photographic set-up I sometimes shut one eye to test how it's going to look with a dimension removed....

I'll have to try that. I went through a period of time where I HATED my camera (I have a pentax K-1000) and was going to sell it - there's a gentleman who owns the camera shop where I take it to be repaired, and he is interested in it. Now, maybe, I'm going back to it. I have a roll of Holga film to be developed, but I can't find anyone around here that does it...

There's one place in the whole of Manchester that will develop Holga film. I went there once and- well, it's a long trek and it's expensive and I'm afraid I've given up now on the plastic cameras...
