rehess Loc: South Bend, Indiana, USA

My wife and I spent this past weekend in Canada, at Pt Pelee NP. One of the sections of the park was formerly a farm .... and over time they are allowing it to "return to nature". I took the first picture below using a new-to-me 28-105mm lens, and as I studied it {locals had conveniently provided a bench there to honor Jack Parson, who apparently had a real passion for the place}, I realized it wasn't what I had envisioned before I took the picture - the view was from too far .... I wanted to convey what it was like to be there, so I switched to my 18-135mm lens. This allowed me to take several steps towards to marsh, and to put some of the distractions {such as a corner of the boardwalk} out of view. This was the view I was seeking - essentially the same framing, but now the viewer was more part of the scene rather than seeming to view it from a distance.

Part of my reason for posting this is that I will sometime I will encourage someone to "step into" the scene before s/he presses the shutter. This is the kind of effect I am thinking of.
