I’ve been thinking about my photography. I know I’m getting better, but why am I processing more images than before? Do I have to be more discerning? Am I truly picking good images?

Today, Marlene said I was posting very good pictures. So, then how do I become more critical of my work? How do I process the best of the best? I think, right now, I’m processing what I like. This is okay, but in 2016, my focus is going to be on processing. So, this is what’s going on in my head!

Last week we did go back to Jackson. I was hoping eating hot dogs at Fat Freddy’s would cheer up Greg. He’s been ill and, as of this writing, is back in the hospital. We hope he’s back with us soon.

As usual, we stopped on the way there and home, taking advantage of beautiful scenery. In this post, I’ll show you the before and after stops.

As I follow my own path on my photographic journey, I’m feeling positive I’m taking the correct turn, but I keep thinking about how I can do it better.

The rain is helping the grass turn from golden to green.

The cows seem to prefer the green grass.

Trees on top of a hill.

I call this “Texture and Rust.”

I still like the remaining yellow/orange grasses.

This is a ranch off a side road.

We think they are going to replace the bridge you see in the background.

This horse is not only beautiful, but sweet.

He posed for us.

And, apparently gave us his best side!

This is what I mean by processing something I like. It may not be the best in the bunch of images, but I like it.

I also like the texture created by the various colors in the grass.

And, you know I love old, rusted equipment.

Some more expressive trees still holding on to some color.

Another one I liked.

What are these trees saying?
