From this past weekend. The fourth strains the definition of "landscape" but, heck, there's land in it. :D

    Lovely set Don! #4 might be my favorite! The tree shots are wonderful and despite being full.....don't feel busy.....wonderful and delicate light in them!

    Nice set, Don. I like the light in 1 & 3 and the vastness of #2. Love that rust in #4, although had it been me I might have considered using a lower angle and pointed the camera slightly more to the left so that the peak of the roof and the back of the car weren't cut off.

    Cheers, Sara

    Taz, Sara, thank you. Sara, the car was so situated that there was no good time of day or angle for shooting it. A fence precluded a lower angle, distractions were just to the left, etc. I scouted it at different times for over a day before concluding that there really wasn't a good solution, and this seemed best.

    Ah, I thought there might have been mitigating circumstances!

    Isn't it irritating when the world doesn't organize itself to please photographers?

    I like the sense of space in #2. My favorite of the set.

    Thanks, Cristobal. That one is better than I expected when I took it.

    #1 is my favorite. I love trees and the lighting is terrific! Love it!
    #2 I agree.... the vastness of the west is here!!! I like the b/w conversion. Did you decide on that because the light was harsh?

    This is a great series.

    Denise, thanks. Eia, the second was infrared, chosen because it was about 1:00 PM and the light was unattractive. I figured infrared had the best chance.

    I had to look up Patagonia. Looks like a great part of Arizona. We once drove from Tucson to Whitewater Draw, so I guess we were close? Good stuff here Don.

    JonaBeth, thank you!

    Len, it's an area my wife and I like a lot. I've never really gone on a photographic outing there... just long weekends with my wife, which are very different things. I should.
