CC Week 19: different perspectives
The challenge this week is to photograph our subjects from different or unusual perspectives.
It was interesting to see the way commercial growers manage their apple trees thesse days. While there are some old orchards with more traditionally shaped trees, most orchards now grow and train apple trees like this. Apples are the main crop in this area, though cherries and pears are also plentiful.

I found this fuzzy looking Cottonwood Tree at the beginning of the hike into Little Wildhorse Canyon, near Goblin Valley. The shape and color of the tree stood in great contrast to the clear blue sky in the background.

The majestic baobab tree is an icon of the African continent and lies at the heart of many traditional African remedies and folklore.
The baobab is a prehistoric species which predates both mankind and the splitting of the continents over 200 million years ago. Native to the African savannah where the climate is extremely dry and arid, it is a symbol of life and positivity in a landscape where little else can thrive. Over time, the Baobab has adapted to its environment. It is a succulent, which means that during the rainy season it absorbs and stores water in its vast trunk, enabling it to produce a nutrient-dense fruit in the dry season when all around is dry and arid. This is how it became known as "The Tree of Life".

Here, I silhouetted the main Joshua tree and positioned it about one-third in from the left border. The lower more distant trees are minor compositional elements and break up the dark foreground rocks. I captured this images just as the sun set and the last rays lit up the clouds just above where the sun set. This bright spot of clouds adds another compositional element to the image.
When you see a sunset sky like this, you want to move quickly and get as many shots as possible, with as many foreground changes as you can. Don't just stand there in one place and snap away, move around! For this sunset, I positioned myself in an area that had a lot of terrain variation, both in the trees and the close and distant rocks. To get a better than average sunset or sunrise photograph, you need to be in the right place. You don't have any control over the clouds or the colors but you do have control over where you are and what is in your foreground.
I see many sunset images on Flickr that have truly spectacular skies and color. However, most often the photographer did not take the time to get a good foreground to go with that sky. A sunset or sunrise shot needs more than just the sky to get noticed.

This older man was slowly walking up the hill admiring the tree in his path. When he reached the tree he put his hands on the trunk and rested there for a while. This was taken in Lars Anderson park in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Best viewed LARGE to see the man more cleary.
