Evening in the Nebraska National Forest, looking toward Crow Butte, June 2019. (Photo by Daniel Binkard) |
I’ve been exploring the relationship between near and far landmarks from ridges in the Nebraska National Forest. This shot with a long lens shows Crow Butte and the skyline beyond. The landscape takes on a variety of characters even in the course of one evening as the sun sets and the light changes. I set up this composition to show extreme foreground and background objects. The bright grass helps lighten up the middle ground, and feels like a good balance for tonal contrast.
