W eaving strands together, an increase in perceptibility threshold is assessed individually. Although we assume everything in our field of vision is seen, the brain actually determines the stimuli that form our consciousness. Back about a week ago, I posted an "AmbientAmbulation" image of a fishing pier located on Maple Leaf Lake. Being cheerfully satisfied with the subject matter and how it was rendered using this dynamic technique, I have been exploring other such water correlated structures found throughout the local area. Turns out there are lots of them! Thus for your viewing pleasure, I now present the first of a mini-series of integrated images situated within a larger associated modality context.

As I gain more experience shooting “on-the-move” using the ten-stop neutral density filter with long exposures, the need for more enabling equipment has materialized. Because with longer lenses it is difficult to frame and aim the camera during the walking exposure phase, I have purchased several old auxiliary viewfinders. The first of these arrived by mail on Saturday, a Seacor 35mm underwater unit designed to fit in the camera hot shoe. Extremely well made with high quality optics, it is much larger and heavier than expected, but really does help to make more predicable image captures.

“Our findings imply that there is no fixed border between things that we perceive and things that we do not perceive - that this border can be shifted.” - Caspar Schwiedrzik

Here is a picture of the Seacor viewfinder
