From the Great Plains

     These next 4 images are from the exploration on to the Great Plains of Colorado that I and two other photographers did last Sunday.  We had great weather, though sort of empty skys.  I was hoping for some clouds to accent the sky.  Oh well, it was still a wonderful day !

     These 4 images are from our first stop that day in the town of Nun, Colorado.  It is the first time I have tried to photograph grain elevators.  I started distant and then moved closer.  I have found this a good way to approach most subjects.  You become more aware of what you are photographing as you move.  That deepened awareness allows you to see more possibilities within your subject as you move in towards it.

     All four images are using a 150mm lens.

     Three of the four images I am very pleased with, and will take to final matted images.  The first one, sort of the initial introduction is the weakest of the four images.  Then again, you need to find a starting place....

     Just don't stop there,  Continue exploring !
