Autumn at Woodland Lake, Pinetop, AZ
Just before we left for our weekend road trip to northern Arizona’s White Mountains (see Travels With Bogie) I read Leigh McAdam’s Hike Bike Travel article on landscape photography. Leigh had attended a landscape photography class and shared rules for composing good photos. How many of them did I incorporate in the pictures below? You may want to refer to Leigh’s article before you look at my autumn pictures and decide how I did.

Please take your best shot at counting the number of landscape photo rules (as related in Hike Bike Travel) that I managed to catch in these pictures when you comment below.

Excellent framing,use of foreground, curves and converging lines. I also like the photo that leads you to the yellow trees at the end of the road. Great work Vera and thanks SO MUCH for the shout out. The White Mountains look like a wonderful place to visit.
