Diagonal lines and curves make for interesting compositions. The light where I was standing was coming across the top of the hills and highlighting the grass, if I had shot wide at this time I would have ended up with massive flare, so I put on my zoom and isolated the diagonal curves across the scene to come up with this image, again using live view to do the final composition and exposure, no filters used.

Wow, its been a busy summer of working on my house and doing my day job, I have not had much time for photography, but at last my house is done and I can get back to making images, the mountain snow has cleared out and I can get out and do some hiking and get some needed exercise and do some image making.

Spent Sunday up at Mt Rainier National Park, hiking up to higher elevations to also escape the 90 degree weather we are having in Seattle, no clouds or great sunsets, but still a beautiful place to be, even with out a camera.

I hope to do a trip almost every week end, now through mid October. A trip down to Cannon and Ecola beaches maybe Shi Shi beach, Mt Baker (Kulshan) the Columbia river Gorge and back to Rainier of course and hopefully a trip up to the Enchantments.

Get out and shoot, hope to have some new images up soon along with my article on live view (LV).
