Catch_A_Photo Loc: Virginia

I was fishing at this river about three hundred yards from the dam. While waiting on a fish to bite I shot these photos in my spare time. I tried to use my ability to make a great photo form just the surroundings. It took me a while to know what I wanted to capture in each of these subjects. The ideas just popped up out of know where. I tried to paint a picture in my head to frame each of these.

Shot this at the river also not on the same day as the others

I like #4 best. Common objects can be very interesting, but the photograph has to be perfect. Take a look at some of the work of Elliot Porter.

letting things just pop out is always a good practice and sometimes lends itself well to photograph too - Elliot Porter would be good to study but your skill and your eye is along ways from his at this point - but if you keep working, and practicing being open to those "pop up moments" good things will start to happen.
