Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #121 – Focus on the Subject

This week Patti encourages us to ‘Focus on the Subject’ using different types of techniques. I basically have a favorite which is the use of leading lines. They lead our eyes through the photograph, sometimes to a particular subject, other times to many subjects – depends on what catches your eye.

Colorado has recently suffered from traumatic fires. It’s been horrendously sad on many levels. The skies have been so smokey, playing outside has not been ideal. The images below were taken before the fires started in our County and a few days after a much needed snow-storm blew through town.

One of the great things about 2020, is that we hatched a retirement plan to live in Oregon. The image below is from a recent visit to the area. I was lucky enough to witness the dusting of snow in a magnificent Ponderosa Pine forest.

And last, on a recent road trip through Utah, I took this snap as we were leaving our sweet glamping spot. We LOVE, the desert – can’t ever seem to get enough.

As you can see, leading lines is a technique I love and frequently use!
