52: Landsapes

Well it has been a while since I wandered away from my story, so I now wander back to it. I finally got the chance to move out of the East Texas Pine trees to the beach, at least close to the beach. I stayed in East Texas and was right next to the Louisiana border. From that location it was easy to slip off to the beach for lovely sunrise and sunset pictures. That is whenever the sun rose or set due South.
While I was on the beach, I learned that driftwood if photographed using the right technique could be made to look like a rugged mountain. From that I began trying to make things look like something else.

The Smokey Mountains in Texas.

Here is such a case. I took a typical range cattle scene, as might be found in Texas, framed it with a few bales of hay. I then threw the distant tree line way out of focus, so it might represent distant mountains. The image was taken looking into the sun causing flair which added the hazy look to the distant objects. See how good I am! Not really it just worked out that way, right here in the Piedmont of North Carolina
