Telling a story

With more than one photo.

Next

The end

I do not see a story, I only see pictures from the same location but there is no apparent translation from scene to scene.

Hi dkizzle

Photo 1 is the starting point of the water flow to the last picture, I wish there was some way to stitch them together to show the start and the end of the photo.

Thanks for replying

Some thoughts ...

Pics 3-5 have something obvious in common as they are taken from the same direction (downstream) getting closer to the end. Pics 1-2 look to be upstream from where pic 3 was taken and hence a discontinuity with no clear connection. The "end" itself doesn't seem to be the end since there is a larger lake behind it. The larger lake itself would seem to be the natural end for the sequence in 3-5. The road in pic 3 interrupts the story you're trying to tell.

Perhaps starting off from pic 3 (leaving out the road) and ending up at the larger lake would be a clearer story.

To call it a "story" requires more than just water running downhill. I think there needs to be something in common floating downstream in each photo as the subject of the story. Perhaps you can get a duck to cooperate - preferably one with ducklings. Get momma taking the ducklings downstream to the larger lake. Of course, if you could do that, "Journey" would probably be a better title.

I suspect it was the swan.

Thanks dogface, I think I was riding my horse facing it's back side, I should have started at the big lake facing the small water fall, but I would have to climb a tree to get the upper pond that drains into the lake in pic 5, If I could do this, then I could have moved to the location in pic3 and took a picture of the pond and water fall in pic 2. The reason I showed the road in 3 was to tell that the pond run under the road to connect pic 2 to pic 4 together.
You hit the nail on the head when you said the title was wrong, I should have called it Down Hill

Thanks for the comments
