I agree that it is our emotional response to what light reveals in front of us that makes us want to try and capture the feeling of that moment. Rarely do I end up with a picture that shows even a small part of those sensations, but I keep trying! Roger Richard – thanks for your comment.

When I first started painting landscapes in France with watercolor, I would document the place with my camera. I remember waiting for good days of sunshine for particular places I wanted to paint, ignoring the mood change on cloudy days as not desirable lighting for a painting. I think we look for "a perfect" sight and then try to capture it when we are really moved by the sight before us as the present lighting presents it to us. Your words and Robert Adams' describe it better than I can. Enjoyed your comments on light and the landscape.
