Big Timber, MT
captured by Z7<\/a> \/ Z14-30<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

There are times that you just gotta shoot! Time is everything and waiting and takin time to make everything perfect, you lose the shot. But those times when you do have time, one thing that can often improve your photograph is simply takin one step forward. Literally, place one foot in front of the other and move forward. How can something so simple work? It comes back to what I call the dance. That’s excluding elements that take the eye away from the subject while including those elements that support the subject. Taking one step forward is just one method of doing the dance that works.<\/p>\n

Here is a simple, gorgeous, sweeping vista that was literally right alongside the highway. I stepped out with the Z7<\/a> \/ Z14-30<\/a> that was in B&W (Monochrome) mode as it was that kinda light and drama. I took the first shot (bottom image) as things were moving quickly. I didn’t like the bush on the left and felt I wasn’t inviting the viewer into the landscape. Then I took a step forward and that all changed. Seriously, I give photographers this tip all the time. Try it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
