I recently spent almost an entire day experimenting.... doing some "documentary" photography and most importantly I practiced my Nature Landscape shots. I grabbed my bag of tricks and a tripod and headed out.....
There are a series of trails that zig-zag around, behind, and up from Rock Ledge ranch which was my starting point for the 380+ snaparoos I took that day....
Like I said. I was trying to do a better job of getting Nature Landscape Snapshots. Dealt with a variety of lighting conditions that day. Made it really challenging. Not the best.. but I'm tryin'....
I took one of the back trails that led to "Garden of the Gods". Didn't care much for it because it was soooo crowded but I did take this snap just for Robb. If you look closely you can see my self portrait reflection in the bumper. I'm the little blob crouching down to take this shot....
Took several shots of the rock climbers before I got sick of the congestion.....
Finally got back on the trails onto the ridge where I was by myself once again. Had a fantastic day. Cleared my mind.
I learned quite a bit that day. I make notes of the screwups I made (which were numerous) so next time I can hopefully do better. I'll post more someday. Very busy right now with work. Sorry I can't respond to everyone. I'm seein' some simply amazing photographs posted lately.
Hope everyone is doing well... all things considered.
