Today I'm shooting my final FTS and a Video but first, lets recap a little.
My rock work at the beginning was a lil ambitious and the lack of flow around the rocks became to much of a hinderance IMG_1859 by Jonathan Archer, on Flickr
I continued with the layout but during some cleaning one day I knocked over a rock and when i tried to correct my mistake it went terribly wrong. IMG_1172 by Jonathan Archer, on Flickr
So I did a total re-scape, although a lilt messy. It did at least I solved my flow problem. IMG_0091 by Jonathan Archer, on Flickr
So i've run into some problem with the video. I forgot that its a different mind set to taking pictures so I'm having to re shoot some footage.
Anyways I was rummaging through my archive photos and videos and notice a video i took when i first set up the scape. Anyways i threw a couple of clips to make this wee video.
This tank marks a special point. Unlike my previous 2 scapes "Messing about with an Arcadia Arc" and "The tank of sentimentality" I didn't reach a point in those scapes that I was happy with. This scape almost ended up the same way with a careless cleaning mishap, I was very annoyed at the time but turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Now when i look back the first two where time killers, while I was designing and getting the cabinet built. I was in a rush with those two and didn't think the whole scape through. What this scape has taught me though is it importance of managing change with patient. After I knocked over the rock and had to redo my scape it gave me the confidence to change the scape around. In fact I was changing the scape on a weekly basis. It was this change that enabled me to perfect the scape to my liking. Change although a crucial part of this scape it needed to be coupled with patience in order to see the changes through to its full fruition. Without patience i probably would have called it a day and thrown in the towel at a couple of points in time. Obviously I'm glad I didn't.
What i will take onto my next scape is this
Creativity is only achieved through change and patients solves all mistakes. Together they are a powerful combo
Before I started shooting for my FTS my friend, colleague (well.... ex colleague now ), fellow scaper and UKAPS member @Joe Turner who also happens to be a professional photographer. Came over to see my tank. Unfortunately he was pressed for time and had to dart off but thankfully he managed to get a few snaps of the tank before he left. Its nice to see the tank from a different artists point of view and camera technique. I hope you will agree.
