If there are cows at the beach, you must be in Texas. This is not the best-composed photograph I’ve ever taken, nor the best edited. The challenge for week 3 is Artistic – Land.

In May of this year, we needed a break from our routine. We hastily threw together a trip to Fort Payne, Alabama, where we’ve stayed before. From a rented cabin in the DeSoto Falls State Park, we availed ourselves of the splendor of the woods, the river, the magnificent falls, and time filled with nothing…

As lovely as this photo is, it’s just not very good. The symmetry of the image and its reflection on the water are nice, but the composition just isn’t great. I think it would have been much better if I had shot it in landscape and moved the treeline either up halfway between where it…
I just wanted to drop this real quick, I made a youtube video on using the 3-2-1 backup method. Enjoy.
