Air of Gold

 Laurie and I walked to Creekside the other day.  The setting sun gave lent us the fabulous light, and, well, the trees here are always perfect. I went crazy taking pictures specifically so that I could expand the frame, which is my new obsession (it helps me cope with the narrowness of my 50mm lens, because I am so used to my kit lens).

I'm so proud of this last one.  I missed a huge rectangle when taking the frames for an enlargement, but with my new found Photoshop skills, I fixed it (applause if you can find the hiccup). It was fun to shoot too, because the little pit I was in had a huge layer of leaves, which hid other little divots in the ground.  So I was just kinda like, "Cool, it's a pit."  And then there was rustling when I got up (probably the leaves in my hair) and so I freaked out and my mind went to crime shows so I ran over to the camera.  But then I had to go in the pit again because I didn't like the pictures and the whole time I was thinking, "I'm laying on a dead body.  I'm laying on a dead body."
