While scouting on the second day i attempted to think about the focus point, what I wanted to emphasize in my images. Where you focus your viewer will look, below are some attempts to use this principle. \u00a0More importantly I’ve been reexamining where I’m focused in life. \u00a0I know my focus needs to be on Him, my family, those I serve. \u00a0It’s easy to get your focus “off”! \u00a0It’s easier to stay focused if you can remember what is most important. \u00a0I spend a lot of time in prayer asking God to show me where I’m using bad spiritual technique in my life. \u00a0i want to stay focused!<\/p>\n

By-the-way, this image was made with the 16mm f 1.4 but shot at f 16 to make the depth the emphasis! \u00a0Love that lens!<\/p>\n

In the next two images i used the long end of the 18-135 to compress the image and place emphasis on the trees and leaves.<\/p>\n
