[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 318216, member: 12198"] The ominous clouds and rain is what I wanted to capture but the direction it was coming from had animals who didn't stay and pose nicely, telephone poles and way too many fences. I tried B&W because I thought it showed off what I most found interesting and helped tone down the other things I couldn't get rid of. I different location would have been nice but wasn't possible at the time so I tried to do what I could. I still struggle a lot with composition and my attempts at PP. I mainly was learning what ISO, shutter and aperture are and working on technique. I have not delved into PP I find it overwhelming so so far have really only played in iPhoto :o I did a lightroom 30day trial when I first got camera and found this site but then I had no idea what the light meter was on my camera so had to go back many many steps and start at the beginning. It's past time for me to tackle PP programs though. I removed power lines as best as I could and thought B&W more dramatic [ATTACH=CONFIG]94523._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]94524._xfImport[/ATTACH] too many distractions I needed another location besides my yard (that needed a cleanup..) I found the rain so clearly falling interesting and the clouds above and around so movie like but my yard didn't add to the photo at all!
