Picture This! -- Our Next Assignment

The Big Landscape: Mountain Views
L andscapes can be intimate in that they use a central subject, such as a barn or outcropping to anchor the scene, or they can be broad, to convey the majesty and sweep of the land. Our assignment this month asks that you include one major feature, a mountain or mountain range, as a key compositional tool. This photo of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains shows just another New Mexico summer afternoon. It was made with a Nikon D70 and Nikkor 28-105mm lens.
