When I look at my past photos from Dinosaur Hill in Rapid City, I think that I need to get back up there, posthaste! This was an afternoon shoot, with the sun somewhat low to give some dimension to the landscape. The first photo is a compressed perspective view across the hill toward the larger hills in the distance. It's the power lines dividing — and connecting — the hills that I like. They act as a bridge to the middle and background planes. The second photo is a double exposure with a focus shift for the near trees and distant cityscape. As with many photos that use this technique, the image is jarring at first, but I keep coming back to it and enjoying the blurred details.
