- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Where I live, there are no woods as grand or famous as the Muir Woods that Randog photographed the other day, but there are a couple of woods, and sometimes I go out there for some photos.
I am not happy with these at all.
Actually, I am only posting them in some sort of communication with Randog and his wood-photos. Lighting was extreme, a very white, milky, hazy sun, strong enough to cast deep shadows... and my camera THEN shows that it is just a compact digital one with problems... Bear with me - not all photos can be winners!
The crossroads and the two paths were smack against the sun
This was the view I had when I turned round - with the sun the sky was blue, but I so want that twig at the top out of the picture and can't get it out, for cropping is my only means, and that would kill the picture...
A little further into one of the two paths I came across this (which usually brings my camera very much to its own bounderies):
Just to show you that I find woods a difficult motif, challenging, with not always any good results...
