(60,082 posts)I was frustrated because I am so used to my 20mm (40mm) field of view. Then I found it useful in "cropping" out some trash along the creek. The dam is being undermined on the banks, but everything theres a big storm, trees and debris hangs up, sealing the undermined areas. The big tree trunk on the right helped seal a channel that opened there.
Maybe I should run down there tomorrow if the rain lets up. I'm sure it will be much higher. Maybe a swing by McConnell Springs to see if the Boils are more active.

(7,911 posts)But until a year or so ago I hadn't picked up a camera since high school in the 1960's. I do love the black and white treatment of those photos. I'm inspired to grab my camera and go down to the river to see what I can see. (But I'm such a wimp I'll wait till it stops raining. hehe)

(7,911 posts)more or less tongue in cheek, I started thinking about exploring minimalist still life compositions. It could be fun. How, for example, could you make an interesting photo with nothing more than a few pebbles? There their physical arrangement in the frame, the background (plain, textured, light, dark, wood, cloth, sand, ...) the lighting arrangement, depth of field, and so on.
Even something as simple as a few pebbles can provide a lot of opportunities to experiment.

I know cinema is a different discipline, but each set is a still life. Everything is there for a reason, and if it doesn't advance the story, it is eliminated.
