Mud in your eye,

Cracked Mud that is
One of the exercises we did was to look for "detail" images all around.
This was about a 15 min walk from our campground.
The day before, when the light was flat in the afternoon, these features didn't stand out.
But the next morning, the rising sun revealed a lot of scenes like this.
Lynn always had us looking, using a viewing tool for visualization & framing.

Great call on the light angle for this scene. This adds a lot of relief to the shapes in the misshapen clay deposits.

You cracked me up with your title Dan. :)

Very nice work here with this, and the light makes all the difference.

Cool! I also worked some similar areas in DV in the morning. I'm assuming you used some tilt to keep everything in focus.
Jim, yes I did. Getting more comfortable with front tilt. Making small changes makes a big difference. Although focusing is typically at f5.6 or f8, now double check at f22 if light allows. Takes some of the guess work out of it.
I do want to try back tilt for foreground expansion.

I'm having trouble making this out, it's so abstract! I'm like :confused::eek:o_O
Why does the top of the image looks like it's coming down over my head?
Very interesting detail in any case.

Dan.. very cool.
I think in addition to this a crop of a small area from this shot would raise the intensity of the detail..
