I'd tap that...

But someone already did. I plan on going back when there is better light but it's been cloudy for the past week. Plus I feel like I could have done better on the angles but I had to shoot from the road as these were on private property owned by angry hicks.

Nice pics. Is that for syrup? Looks like something already tapped the bottom of those trees!

Yes. Its the old fashioned way, but makes for good photos.

You don't want to upset angry hicks...they will turn on you like a junkyard dog...... I like the B&W.

Catchy title....made me click on it!

Title made me laugh before I even clicked it - figured you weren't going where most would expect. I think there is potential with the first one. For me, the focus is on the buckets, so go horizontal to focus there. I would also like a little more in contrast.

I did play with it a little, can show you if you want. Just say so.

Not bad, I am a stickler for keeping original ratios when cropping, that why i didn't go in the same direction.

Just don't go around tapping that Ash. You'll never get any sap out of it.

Just curious - how do you handle printing? Do you custom frame/mat everything to the original ratio? I went 8x10 just to keep some height on the trees, but it could still be cropped horizontally maintaining the original ratio. Ratio aside, it's more of an issue of orientation for me. I think the landscape orientation frames what I perceived to be the subject(s) better.
