imahawki Goldmember  1,455 posts Likes: 1 Joined Aug 2008 Location: Omaha, NE More info | May 07, 2010 17:25 | #1 I want to go get some shots of a historic cobblestone highway in my area. This isn't a street in an area with buildings, its actually an old highway, so it will be tree lined etc. Should I stand in the middle of the road (I can safely do this, no worries)? How low should I get the camera, etc? Olympus OMD E-M10 | Olympus 25 f/1.8 | Olympus 45 f/1.8 | Olympus 75 f/1.8 | Olympus 9-18 f/4-5.6 | Olympus 14-42 f/3.5-5.6 | Olympus 40-150 f/4-5.6

May 08, 2010 10:19 | #11 Thanks guys... you're right, not cobblestone. I may be shooting some of those today in the old market if the weather cooperates.

It's a heck of a road, I wonder how long it would take to drive it these days, from NYC to SF.... Canon: 6D

Try shooting down some more, putting the end of the road in the upper 1/3rd as well. Don't worry about the trees, just try and it and see what that looks like.  Not a good comp, but you see what I'm talking about. D. Warren Robison

Something like this: Not a good comp, but you see what I'm talking about. I don't like this shot to much, way to much road, gives you the feeling you're just standing there and not dreaming or the feeling of going down a curvy road.... I think a road shot should give you that feeling, the feeling of wanting to drive down that road.... Canon Stuff
