We are kindred spirits... I'm looking at this exact process in a different way. Challenging myself to understand what works for me and what doesn't. Important for newbies especially. Love it!
Interesting. I know I switch back and forth constantly, between big and small views, looking for photos. And I know I can see both at the same time when framing a shot - placing the subject in the background. I wonder how deep that goes, though.
Interesting Marcel. I sometimes think of this in terms of aspect seeing. You either see the duck or you see the rabbit (the duck/rabbit gestalt picture) but not both together at the same instant. Some people only ever see one, but not the other.
A difficult, yet essential, skill to master, Marcel. The ways in which we interact with the world are speeding up - which leaves us less and less time to engage and join the dots. I think the currently used term is "mindfulness".

Great information and explanation! I look forward to putting this into practice
Cool, let me know how this works out for you.
Very good, Marcel! Time and practice, practice and time….
Love this explanation. I’m a writer rather than a photographer but this is how I try and look at things when I walk for inspiration. Great post 💚
Yes, paying attention to the world around you, really paying attention, is a perfect way for some unexpected inspiration.

You've explained this so well Marcel - it all makes very good sense and that's a great little exercise to tune our vision.
Thanks Lin.

Yes Paul, indeed. Mindfulness is something very valuable. Always was and now even more.
