I've been experimenting with wide angled lens shots and making sure I have a strong foreground middle ground and back ground. I'm not sure this works. It seems to me as if the bridge is so outdone by the rocks that it seems like an after statement. What does everyone think?
It sure was a lovely day although shooting when the sun is high leaves a bit to be desired.
I like it - the foreground does overshadow the background but it works in a different way - the rocks wouldn't have the impact without the background. The bridge adds interest and perhaps a balance to the large rock in the front.
Oh I need to get out more & photo some lovely scenery!! the clarity here is phenomenal Jane & I think it works perfectly ...they always say you should have a middle beginning & end & here you have all three!!
At the risk of breaking an ankle, I think the wide angle lens would have worked just as well if you were closer to the bridge. You could have gotten a similar effect in the rocks, but a bigger bridge. Nevertheless, this has that Ansel Adams "Mt Williamson" feeling that I love.
I'm going to agree with you. I think the bridge is lost in the hillside, almost as if you're not close enough to it to really make it the "middle" ground of your shot.
Very good pov and composition but the bridge is a little lost. If the stones had been conveniently set into leading lines, it would probably have tajen the eye there easier, lol.
