Dont Throw Away Mistakes





 Recently I ran into an awsome sunset that would also be a perfect panorama.  I did have a good camera but failed to bring along a tripod.  I did try by hand, hoping for the best.  I took 5 shots with not too high of hopes.  At home working on the final panorama image, I apparently did a wrong setting.  My program layered them all on top of each other and made the other 4 images of mountain tops various colors like the sky and combined the sky colors of all 5 images into one.  Bottom line.. A very interesting..I guess I can call it a photograph.  Whatever the case, I kinda like it.  Denny

Dont give up too quickly




Looking at the photo immediately below.  At first look its blah.  It has some good points that I like.  Thats why I  stopped to have a look. 
Because the sun was partially blocked through the edge of clouds, plus the grain storage silo, power wires and fences. I almost gave up.




This photo below is the finished product.  I waited a few minutes and some good sun broke through.  Being later in afternoon I got some good warm light.  I took a few shots, even at various exposures.

Getting back home it looked promising on my computer screen.  I hid the power lines and the fences along the road, saturated the colors a bit more.  I like the finished results.  I can even crop it in some to get just the home, or pick out what I want.




Moral of this story is dont give up to quickly.  Just give it a few minutes, move a few feet, lower the camera, raise the camera.  Doesnt hurt to try.   Denny
