It's also interesting how you shot direct for the green ones and at an angle for the brown ones. It mades me wonder if this was planned or not. I am an admitted "twisted" person so I naturally like the angles on the brown pictures better. I like it when the angle of the shot draws you into the picture. Well done
Both angles were on purpose: the difference in my mind? I knew the linear stuff would be boring straight on. The green slime and needles were an attempt to gain depth of field as I was shooting in Auto mode with my Canon Elph. Depth of field is much easier to setup with my Canon Rebel. But I take my Elph on walks and the Rebel on rides. Not really happy with any of them, focus issues and color concentration mainly, but it's to justify the purchase of a new lens for the Rebel.
Barn wood is always one of my favorite things to look at - and these are great images! My fave is the conifer - I had considered trying to take a photo of one on Main Street, and the light at that time of day was just not good - you captured the whorls wonderfully, Randal! And the moss looks ooey-gooey the way you captured it!
I like the first two the best, the barnwood is great, something about antiquities and history always draw me in, and the slime (moss) is not something that I would normally take the time to look at in such detail, and would miss the shells and the bubbles, and all of the little things that you have to look for.
Yea, Randal, you can say that! brown, green, can't tell the difference! Monochrome Jim...well, not quite, but almost.
