Great picture for a first attempt in relatively difficult lighting.

You might experiment with taking the same picture but with verticals
kept parallel, to familiarize yourself with movements.


I thought briefly earlier to comment on this also, but in the opposite
direction. I especially liked it that it wasn't so static, so tensely
vertical and formally posed. I also wondered if it wasn't intentional, and
if kitchen1.jpg was the one that was tipped vertical. :-)

I didn't mean to suggest that this particular subject would have looked
better with parallel verticals, just that it would be worth trying it
for the experience. It might be something of a challenge, considering
the nature of the scene.

For me it was rattlesnakes, almost stepped onto one
just outside of Albequerque while scambling over rocks
for some pics. Ouch and watch out for those crotch high
catuses,...I got a leg full of very painfull 1.5" needles running back to
the range rover for my meter.

I got a butt-full crouching down to get a shot near Sedona, AZ years ago. I
assure you it's not nearly as funny as the cartoons would have you believe
although the people I was staying with got a good laugh pulling out the
spines for me. I'm so happy my suffering could provide them with a source of
amusement.

Suddenly I don't long for shooting pix in the
desert all that much. Maybe something to be
said for Appalachian forests and wetlands.

Worst annoyance round here are the
skeeters and black flies, though the deer
ticks can mess you up big time.
