Look up

I’ve often read that most people take photographs from eye level and that this contributes to all photographs looking the same. The solution to this: take pictures from above; from below; look down; look up. This change in perspective adds variety to your photographs. In my case I do take pictures from above (when I can get high enough to make this possible). I often get down low e.g. to take pictures of small children, animals, flowers etc. I often look down, but I rarely look up. How else would I explain how, walking down Main Street, Ossining virtually every week I’ve never seen these interesting pediments (if that’s what they’re called) on the top of a number of the late Victorian buildings that line Main Street.

Fall Leaves

You’ll probably be seeing quite a lot of these over the next month.

Every year I swear that I won’t take any more pictures of the fall leaves. I’ve taken so many. They’re boring, I say to myself. But then the next Fall comes around, and I can’t resist the temptation.

So, here’s a nice grouping seen during a recent walk.
