The other day I went out to do some landscapes at my pocket sanctuary along the Kennebunk Bridle Path where it runs through a corner of Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge property, and came back with over 70 shots of Odonata…dragonflies…which I whittled down to 27 keepers: An Afternoon Feast of Odonata.

I did, however, manage to get a few landscape shots. Like this one. One of my favorite views across the marsh. I love the weathered fence posts, and, though unconventional, the dead snag dividing the image somehow works for me, perhaps because it “cages” the clouds on one side of the frame.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 23mm equivalent field of view, f5.6 @ 1/800th @ ISO 160. Program with Active D-Lighting, –1/3 EV exposure compensation to be sure of the clouds.
