Landscape photographers seem to love to go out to places that are inherently hazardous and they often compound this by going at odd times of day and in unpredictable weather. I know I do. I want to experience the edges of the light and the landscape, and the risk just goes with the territory.
For this reason I was quite interested and surprised to stumble across this discussion about “edges” on a blog that I subscribe to.

Although my fascination with this idea comes out in a few of my blog posts, I’ve never read Niall Benvie’s essay before. It seems that a lot of us arrive at this concept independently.
