Day 172: Peace Before Battle

Anyone who knows me knows that anytime the number 72 is involved in something I like it to be special. I really wish I had been thinking about that today when I was out shooting. I really was trying to get a shot of Burnett’s Creek from somewhere. I saw a couple of great shots of it, but could not find parking to get near them. I settled for parking at the Tippecanoe Battleground and walking back behind it to the river. For this shot my tripod was actually in the small stream , and I was standing on a rock. I really like the idea behind this shot, but the execution seems a bit off. I love how the bottom half of the picture looks, but the top half leaves a little something to be desired. I guess the purpose of this blog is to learn something with every shot. Here I learned that perhaps nine exposures would have helped this picture. If every shot was a masterpiece there would be no need for this blog. Tomorrow is another day though, and perhaps I could improve on this shot. No matter what the HDR does look better than any of the six shots used to create it.

Today this little blog reached over 6,000 visitors. Every time I hit another 1,000 visit milestone I seem to hit it quicker than the last time. Last month I had my best month ever on here, and I should beat that this month. All that you can ask for is a little growth, and I am seeing that.
