The photograph is from Gibraltar Rock in South Central Wisconsin over looking LakeWisconsin. I just made it to top of the rock formation that rises 400 feet above the Wisconsin River and has 200-foot sandstone cliff that overlooks a leather-leaf bog and is home to a cedar glade community, along with red oaks, and basswood. I used an old tripod that seems to be doing a halfway decent job at stabilizing the camera from any shake and this is the only one of many that I took at different settings with all the same composition. Although camera shake with the shutter speed was not really a factor in this photo, but where I was located on the cliff was a factor and to get positioned just right meant getting very close to the edge. As a result, I was not able to look through the viewfinder and had to look at the LCD display.

C&C is very much appreciated,

Thanks in advanced, :rolleyes:

The setting are: Manual Exposure, f/8, Shutter speed 1/500 sec.

Thanks,

I have been around for awhile in this forum study and learning different techniques from all. And everyone seems to know each other and always giving good words of encouragement. I will try to post more often and that is actually leaving comments for others to read. ;)

Thanks, rudgej & sparker1 I have enjoyed both of your photographs for sometime now. I just thought maybe I would include another photo from the same shoot. I call this the “The Burning Bush”, although it is actually a cedar tree.
