Thanks for the comments and critique, everyone. They call Montana "Big Sky Country" but the real big sky is over the flat Platte River Valley that runs through Nebraska. People who live in the wooded area east of the Mississippi River have no idea what treeless expanses like our even look like.
The photo was taken mainly to capture the thin fog layer in front of the trees, which I thought looked neato-keen. The tree on the right just happened to be there. Since this was just off of the highway I take on the way to work, there are also power lines that run along that highway, and if I stepped back much you had power lines cutting "through" the upper right of the foreground tree, so the crop of the tree was a function of my positioning and avoiding the power lines. There wasn't a whole lot of thought that went into it: Oh, cool! (Pull off on shoulder, check rear view mirror for no traffic and reverse about a city block back up the shoulder... hop out... compose with my feet (A50 f1.4 on the camera) ... take a few and hop back in the car. Just a grab shot, not high art. : ) Darren Addy Kearney, Nebraska -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
