Leading Lines
Fine, 1 shot on your article, I can work with that after serious editing when I went off the rails.
I did learn how to delete images from a post, after posting, so my day is better. Any day gaining knowledge is a step forward.
Here is a few more images I ran across that have strong lines from the same outing.
I have not seen them in a long time, and few other humans have ever seen them. Might at well fix that.
At first glance, thought this lacked vertical, the shadow is powerful.
This lacks vertical as well, but the lines of the bank and the river are mesmerizing.
The lines can go down as well to capture the spirit.
That one is NOT Idaho.

Holy moley! Those are great!
It must be nice to have mountains to photograph! I mean REAL mountains!
The thing to be there, and hear the story of Bonneville for the first time, I had no idea... And I was smarter than the average ranger Boo Boo, Just had not gone that far back. Must have been one of the days I cut Earth Science, there were many. Funny how I never got turned in, as I would miss that class @ 2 and be there for swim practice at 4... Guess who the coach was...
In retrospect, I applaud his discretion at allowing my indiscretions, He knew I already knew what he was instructed to teach. He needed a goalie for water polo, I happened to be be better than most at that. It worked out.
He was also a close family friend. He was a mentor to my older brothers and me, and was welcome at the table any time he showed up for dinner.
He could be called a freak or a stalker today, but this was not the case in this point.
This waa person who took into account who he was dealing with and made the correct choice.
I will be forever grateful.
I think He is dead 20 years now, The respect will never change.
He helped make me who I am , I must pay tribute.
Really cool shots 84. Love the first two. VerySurreal!
I love the first one, especially-- it looks like a wedding cake! Beside, you know me and layers of rocks...
I understand how you feel about your friend, perfectly! Our respect for certain people never dies. I love and respect you, dear friend. ((((((((((((1984))))))))))))
I am not a photographer and I know nothing about it. But, these look great, 84.
You know, 84, I do not understand technical jargon about photography, but I will say this: these shots are amazing!
Well, A.Mac is the professor, and has good advice for technically perfect shots. There are elements that need to be considered during shooting and post production. These points are critical to producing works that are marketable. Sometimes you just say this is beautiful and take a picture. Many of the criteria can show up in the resulting photo. Nature does use leading lines, That's why you are looking at it.
There is a huge difference from capturing a moment on the fly, to setting out to capture an image.
Sometimes they collide, but to capture an image takes planning, preparation and patience. With those, you can get an image that is stunning. Sometimes you just get lucky on the fly. I have been lucky a lot, but I was trained in content and composition, they have never made it to my conscious processes while shooting, but apparently they are there. I would rather be lucky than good...
Okay, I get it, 84! Maybe. Oh, I don't know. I think you must have absorbed the training extremely well!
Don't know why I didn't see this until now but glad I found it and thanks for posting.
At the risk of sounding geologically dull, which I often am, the top picture? The pyramidal shape of the mountain of tiers is the same angle as the talus cones, or pyramid of debris, up against the base. You don't see that, so often, in nature...
It's also like arrows, pointing upward. I love these!
