That was mentioned before (that the top of the frame might lead the eye to nowhere). A fair criticism. I don't know, perhaps using the 55mm and horizontally would've produced more of a "landscape" but I was going for grabbing detail in the space. That's why I choose to use the 165mm instead.
One thing I find when I'm out and about is that the wheather dictates much of what I shoot. If I have an uninteresting sky I leave it out (as I did on this day). -Brendan --- William Robb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brendan MacRae" > Subject: Peso - Yuba River > > > > Here's one from a few weeks back.
