*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2024.01.25 ***

When, I open a newspaper of late, it seems the lesson is fast being forgotten sadly.

I think you may have missed the tongue in cheek nature of my comment there and taken it a bit too seriously.

Perhaps the top, but not the bottom.

There's not a lot worth seeing outside of the frame from that vantage point, at least while focusing on the woods. This is one of the wider shots that I took, but ultimately discarded to give you some idea.

I did try other crops, most notably taking a chunk off the top and bottom, although, mostly the bottom to get rid of the messy muddy patch in the foreground, but in the end I preferred the full frame image as I quite like the way hardy moorland grass looks in winter. Here's the cropped version for reference.

I think it's worth revisiting this location at some point and experimenting with different vantage points, while trying not to drown in the bog.

Yeah, I'd tend to agree there, although, short of bringing along a pair of step ladders to get a bit more height I'm not sure how I'd achieve that from that spot ;-)

I did take a few more shots once I'd crested the little hill I was on, which do successfully separate the two elements, but it loses the curve of the fence as it crests the hill and introduces the patches of green grass from the path on the right, which I'm not keen on. Again, if I'd had more time to experiment, I may have found a workable compromise.

Here's one of those shots with a hasty edit thrown on to give you some idea how it would have looked...

I've been. A life changing experience.

Pictures from the local trails on a cold and frosty morning.

Looks like a great morning for a walk. 😀

Thanks, I like that one more in b/w. These are from Helena, MT, USA

It was -17°C, but was otherwise quite beautiful!
