Amongst The Living

Boyce-Mayview Park contains a wide variety of woodland scenes. There is a small waterfall, wetlands, open fields, and beautiful groves of trees. This particular spot is along a walking trail named Sylvan Ridge. While passing through, I noticed this dead and stripped pine tree. It made a nice contrast against the surrounding living pines. Something I learned during my college education in photography was to vary my perspective. It is a very good thing to remember as a photographer. Our abilities to capture the world around us through our lenses aren’t limited to what is at eye level. Wonderful compositions exist all around us if we take the time to look.
