Finding Your Eye ~ Lesson 3 ~ Part One


     Today is a cold day in New England.  I went for a brisk walk this morning, watching the sunlight as the sun slowly climbed higher into the stark blue sky.  I was thinking about what subject I would choose for my "Find Your Eye" lesson today - the assignment was to take 50 photos of the same subject, a familiar subject, taking each photo from a new and creative angle and end up with two or three good ones.
     I put on my snow gear, boots and warm coat, and headed to a nearby cornfield with a trusty companion, my dog Turbo.
     I visit this field often when my son comes home.  He is a birder and there is always plenty of wildlife to see and hear while walking in this forgotten, last slice of farmland, remarkably untouched ~ it is like going back to a simpler time.
     My thought was to photograph the familiar bluebird houses, however, my "eye" saw many other beautiful things in this quiet slice of heaven ~

That is a beautiful spot indeed. I love the repetition of the bird houses in the first image. Also the lighting and the bokeh in the last one. The image of the corn husk has beautiful focus too. Now' I'm going to look at your next post.
