After running a lot of errands today, went out to Uvas Canyon. It has been too long since I visited the park. As usual at Uvas Canyon, I never get far from the parking lot because I keep seeing shots. Even though I wanted more color, I worked exclusively in infrared. It was fun to see the difference that infrared can make to this familiar location.

I had a hard time deciding the cover image…

I liked this image but the fallen branches bothered me. If I decide that it is a keeper later, I will do Photoshop “pruning” and remove some of the fallen branches.

I have been thinking a lot lately about composition. I recently re-visited David Muench’s web site. He is the master of the near-far composition. This composition is characterized by a foreground centered item, middle interest and far interest. I also used my fisheye lens. The fisheye was getting a little dusty and feel I need to use all my equipment on a semi-regular basis to justify carrying it around.
