The Story Behind the Photo

Traveling just south of Abbeville, Louisiana, I spotted this weird scene. I stood on the side of the road and snapped this photo. I really like the clouds and the wide open swamp. The placement of the trailer was performed by Hurricane Katrina. This photo was taken November, 2006 at 1:21 in the afternoon. Canon 5D with a 35mm lens, ISO 100, F6.3 at 1/640... -2/3 exposure compensation.

Photo Tip of the Week

Know your Camera. Take the time to study your manual. You should memorized every function and be able to quickly set your camera for a certain photo without having to look at your manual. This is imperative when shooting fast moving subjects or situations where the light is constantly changing. With todays DSLR's this is a major accomplishment. I have seen many great photographers get "The Shot" because setting their camera was just a natural reaction to the situation. Happy shooting !
