Thank you for the wonderful advice, David. I'll print your list and keep it near.
I'm loving this thread and finding it so exciting. Loving it because I'm seeing some gorgeous pics (the candles from David and the puppies from Jess - it was the clarity of the autumn leaves that blew me away!) and excited about having a photography professional whose brain I can pick haha! I'm also excited at the prospect of acquiring a new artistic skill.
I've been scouring my archives and have come across another couple of pics (only three, actually
) that I'd like to share.
This one was cropped a little but is still somewhat large. It may be necessary to scroll, to see the full image.
It was taken from the same place as the sunset pic. Again late in the afternoon. There was a storm rolling in from the west (left of pic), when suddenly the sun broke through the clouds . . . .
