12.27.2022 The distances we travel for a photoshoot

They are sometimes quite a long way from home.  But sometimes they are just outside the door.  In this case we have a very wet part of the yard where our firewood is usually dumped before splitting and stacking.  Once that is done it’s just a bare muddy spot until the next load several months later. This morning I checked the frozen water atop the mud and found a couple of compositions I liked.

I would have preferred this composition to have just held the center of the frame but that would not have cropped very well.

A few feet away I found a better setup and tried a few angles.

I like the motion implied and the variety of shapes throughout the frame.

I hope to find a few shoots a little farther away tomorrow morning while we are still receiving cold weather.  Our New Year’s weekend is to have forties and possibly some fifties and there is even a rumor of a possible sixty degree day.  And warmish all next week.  It’s winter?
