Thanks wham121736 - I'm glad you liked it. I especially appreciate your in-depth analysis and commentary. I usually have time constraints on my photography, but I'm consciously trying to slow down and think more about composition.


With time constraints I think it is even more important to "stop and think" before shooting, rather than "run and gun". After shooting for 65 years I've learned to ask myself, what about this scene excites me. Then, how can I change the composition to emphasize that. It could require moving the horizon, positioning the important element to a 1/3 power position, zooming in or out, and of course those other issues of shutter speed to stop/blur motion, or f/stop to isolate subject or increase feeling of depth. Sorry if I'm running off with my mouth.

I think you're right, and these days I'm coming back with far fewer images - but they're ones I like better. As an aside, I appreciate the conversation and hope all is well.

First snowstorm of the year arrived on Thursday, and a very hot and rainy summer seems like its going to be followed by a cold snowy winter. Looks best in download view - hope you enjoy.


Very pretty. Was this a multi second exposure? Just curious.
