I made the rules, so I will live by them. \u00a0I thought I could make this work, and I had no reason to have thought that. \u00a0Let’s pretend that this image just went on the screen at one of mine and Jack’s workshops, here is what I would say, trying to be as kind as possible: \u00a0First what is the subject? \u00a0I can only assume it is the waterfalls, but, there is not very much of the falls in the image! \u00a0The foreground is not adding anything and there is a lot of foreground! \u00a0The light is dull, and the background is not really very exciting. \u00a0I would say come back on another day with better light and find a better vantage point! \u00a0I’m assuming that if you could see more of the falls it would be very nice. So Bill, you blew it!!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ouch! Now I know how that feels, and I was right, this mage is failing major league. I felt pretty let down by myself!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I dejectedly walked out I saw the tourist trap flu for the kids to mine for gems, now dry and empty, but the lines were pretty terrific in the light so, \u00a0I shot it. \u00a0That lifted my spirits!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cumberland Falls is known for it’s famous Moonbow. \u00a0Explained above, I thought so you guys can see what that is all about and I don’t have a shot of it, even though I only live 15 miles from the park! \u00a0I stopped in the gift shop to see if they had a postcard I could copy. \u00a0They \u00a0did so below this is the Moonbow!<\/span><\/p>\n

Nice shot by Doug McCoy Photography<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking around I \u00a0saw this sign and it was about how I was feeling now that I was starting to get the zone!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next I found these two shots!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Walking back to the car I saw these and had to give it a try.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now starting to really feel good I saw some canoes at the Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort site and went in to try shoot them, the colors were great but a sign said don’t go past this point, and I just couldn’t get a composition I liked!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I was leaving I noticed a light was on in the office, even though they were closed and this is off season, I went over and knocked on the door, but no one answered. \u00a0I was just getting \u00a0back in my car when a lady opened the door and asked if she could help me! \u00a0I explained I wanted photograph the canoes, but didn’t want to trespass, she said no problem go ahead! I try to always ask for permission other people’s property, it is courteous, the right thing to do and a lot easier than running from a shotgun blast! \u00a0The payoff was worth the effort!<\/span><\/p>\n

Photography Post Mortem:<\/strong> \u00a0This is easy, all images with the X-T5 and the 16-80 Zoom, one of my most used lenses!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So a day that starts out lousy doesn’t have to stay that way!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/span><\/p>\n
