a massive thank you to Josh Beames and Sarah Hatton for hosting the Nikon Workshop at Port Campbell. Great day and a fantastic way to improve your photography.
This is one of the images from that day.

Set of 8 Bosc Pear images from my original SOOC entitled A Bosc Pear
I recommend listening to Joe Henderson's "Blue Bossa" while viewing this image:

OK, I admit it- this is a cliche image: the isolated tree in a field. I could say this is a new take on that classic (cliched) image, and maybe I will because it makes me feel better. There are two things that I think make this image special. First is the colors, and second is the light. The colors are like this all over Capitol Reef, but are rather unique to there... so that makes it good. Second is the light. It made me hit the brakes, so there must have been something about the light.
As I ran from the car to the position where I would make this image, my mind was already planing the shot. Heck, even before, because I had to grab the 70-200 before I left the car! But that is the way my mind works- I see the whole shot laid out in my head as I frame it up. So my thoughts- narrow depth of field and get the light- that was my goal.
So I got to the position I wanted, and knelt down- lower angle worked better to my mind. I am outdoors, so no reason at all to up the ISO, so I started the exposure equation with an ISO of 64. I had already thumbed the aperture down to 2.8, and I knew I would get a shutter of over 1/1000, so no tripod necessary.
I popped off a couple shots. It just seemed obvious to me that the tree had to be camera right weighted, because it reaches out to the left. I knocked out a couple of different framings, pretty much both ends of the zoom.
So I got home, and had two images. I finished both- tight on the tree, and the three in it's environment. I asked my daughter which she liked better and she said the wider one... and so that is the released version. What do you think? Would the tighter one have been better?

I went out walking with my new 105mm lens and wanted to try out the bokeh. So I went for this street shot up young and I am quite happy with the results. This is a place I would like to do a portrait in the future. I also really like the detail for street photography and might go downtown to see what I can capture later this week.
