Sunset Boulder's Area Page
Here is a classic image of near - far composition. The object of interest is place in the foreground, while at the same time having the far background as a complementary part of the scene. The eye travels back and forth between the flowers in the foreground and between the gully in the distance. In this case I centered the flower bush in the image so that the viewer's eye does not travel from left to right. The light from the setting sun casts a warm glow over the ground, while the shadows have a cooler cast over them. This is my favorite lighting condition. The sky was slightly over cast, filtering the light somewhat, as opposed to the previous image where direct sunlight painted the landforms with an orange glow. I shot this with a fairly wide open aperture, f2.8, but still retained a good degree of the far distance in focus.
