Try Something New

I don't know why, but I keep blowing off the Flickr Friday deadlines.  I'm not into competitions.  I'm certainly not interested in being famous or turning pro (I shoot JPEGs for goodness sakes) so you'd think I would just have fun with it.  Use it as an excuse to try something new. 

So when I went back to Cold Springs today (hoping for icicles) I made myself try something new.  Well new for me. I collapsed the tripod down as far as it went, pulled out the articulated screen on my "new" camera and composed a scene (with a foreground!) in Live View. I even forced myself to keep the view wide instead of zooming in like I usually do. 

Like I said, it won't be new to most photographers but it's new for me.
