Compositionally Challenged week 19 is Nature.
I find it interesting to watch the progress of the seasons on my weekly trips to visit my mother 90 miles to the south.
The most recent example is Rhodendrons: They started to bloom in Hillsboro two weeks ago, in Longview (where this was taken) a week ago, and in my garden today.
A balmy summer's day and the soft light illuminating the rich textured stone and brick work of this inordinantly large church for such a small village. The main part is built with Flint .. originally used by Stone Age People for axes and such like, due to it's extreme hardness and sharpness :-)
Compositionally Challenged Week 3 - Creative use of TEXTURES
This candle has a lot of texture, which I enhanced with a texture filter in post.
My favorite of all crystals, this is stibnite. It is a great specimen offered by a dealer in the TEP venue of the Tucson Rock and Gem Show this year. The entire piece is about 2 1/2" x 2". The blade formations stacked upon each other make for a natural composition in this macro view. The crystal is so dark, the "steel blue" shows as black and gray with flashes of blue as light hits it. This shot was taken in a tent outdoors, so the bit of light coming in sideways from 8 feet away helped to show the gleam and shine. Wish I'd had the funds to pick up this beauty!
It occurred to me that one of the areas of photography that I frequently bypass is the mid-range view in favor of either the "big picture" or the macro. Ironically, this is probably the most common perspective we take when focusing our eyes on the world around us...a conclusion verified by studying and evaluating my own sight orientation on my recent walks.
With the open areas in full bloom with succeeding varieties of wildflowers, it provides a good opportunity to actually concentrate on the various elements of compositon which actually go into a shot like this. Frankly, it takes a lot more thought than just firing off at the sky or the lake or the trees or moving in for a closeup. Perhaps that's why I don't do it very often...thinking an activity of increasing frustration in my dotage and reminiscent of work which is now anathema.
In any event, here for your consideration, a series of images which actually resulted from some conscious attempt at composition. I have taken more and cannot say that I find them very striking...personal preferences and taste obviously also impacting composition. A worthwhile and interesting exercise nonetheless, requiring much more practice.
If you look closely, particularly in the comment images, you will see an abundance of small skipper butterflies which made for pleasant companions.
