A Little Later in the Season...

[ellyssian]

For the most part, these shots were taken along the same trail(s) as the earlier LGNC set ... the LNE and the Prairie Grass Loop, this time without the D&L and with the Chestnut Oak trail.

We also had first-time hiker and mountaineer Mr. B along with us... so we fell behind the group quite a lot, and most of the shots were taken one handed while trying to hang on to a four year old with the other... =)

#1 and # 8 are the IMNSHO, the strongest photos out of the bunch.

#1 -- although you ncentered the fallen tree, it works because there's a relationship between it and the gold ferns. Plus there's the dynamic angles.

#8-- I like the angles. It gives a sense of movement, plus the two colour changes between the fields and the fall trees in the distance.

#2 --Interesting, but the trees act like a "frame", drawing your eye to the center area, BUT there's nothing to look at there.

#9 -- This one's okay, but I really prefer #1.

Thanks for the details - that's what I need to hear! =)

I was thinking about all the angled shots when I posted - had it pop up several times recently, in discussion and in friend's photos, about the use of angles. All these were shot fairly level, taking advantage of the angles on site.
