Something Different

As I travelled with the great folks from Dgrin (Thanks for driving us everywhere Ian) we stopped to shoot in location after location. The scenery was spetacular, and I shot lots.
But everywhere we went I was consiously thinking about finding something different. I thought that 40 of us are going to the same places and seeing the same things and the last thing I wanted was pictures just like everyone elses, so I did a lot of experimenting. I did a lot of isolating single elements in a scene, and I did a lot of faceing the opposite direction as everyone else.
Sometimes this worked out well. Other times, not so much, but I wanted to share a few of these "different veiws"
Looking for interesting elements in a scene.
Looking for intesting veiwpoints, different framing elements.
Facing the opposite direction from everyone else.
Details in the scene.

looking for something different to photograph! These are really nice!
Weren't those pine needles beautiful in the setting sun? I like the rock and texture shots too.

I know what you mean about trying to capture something unique in a group of 40 people shooting the same scenes
Anyhow, I like what you did here and to my eyes you were successful

Those pines were RED! I though I would get comments that they didn't look right because they were so red, but it was sunset with nice orange light on them and they were really red to begin with.
Post them up Sam, I wanna see em.
I like the Half-Dome shot - I dig shooting though the natural "frames".Those red pine needles are awesome, very nice colors!
Good job, mate!
I think I saw you shooting the first and fourth frame. Always good to look behind you as well as in front of you, too. I was looking for something different too, but was not as successful as you were. I did find two scenes of the forest that I thought were interesting.

PF, I love the dying trees, they are, aren't they? I really like how you captured the fog with them.

I really like the shot with the clouds in the burned out forest. It has a definate mood.

What the heck IS that thing that looks like a brain growing out of that tree.
Creepy.
