Blea Tarn (by PcStumpy)

How can you not want to visit a place called “Blea Tarn”?

So, here is my little rant about Instagram.*

I WANT TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY.

Seeing the individual leaves between the stones is more important to me than the dazzly gooiness of a lightwash effect or the artificial warmth of a sunset filter. I prefer detail to bokeh, true color to supersaturation. Those things have a time & place, probably, somewhere, but EVERY NOOK & CRANNY OF THE ENTIRE INTERNET is not it.

*To those (3) of you who use your powers for good rather than evil, my apologies.

I love the manifold depths of field here.
Now you see the way I understand what I see.*

*And I don’t mean metaphorically or anything. For anyone who might not know, I have strabismus, which basically means I’m cross-eyed & have no depth perception. I know what 3D is, but I can’t see in it. My brain tells distances by relative size, layering, shadows, etc. Everything looks to me like this photo looks to you, or so I’m told. But I don’t think of it as a huge deal. It might even make me more creative than I’d be otherwise, who knows. Just informing.
