A series from the last weekend of summer in the PacNW. I posted one photo from this series in "critique" as well, because I had a specific question about it, but I always welcome advice and critique on any of my photos. I'm learning as fast as I can and enjoying every step of the way.

The most important person who needs to appreciate these images is of course you. Digital photography allows very rapid feedback for learning keep it up

Keep working on finding the best angels for each image... the first and last are nice, but they were the easy ones...

Thanks for the feedback, both of you. Yeah, the 1st one just laid out before me and I took it. Put the little piece of land on the left in the rule of 3rd line and got the focal length that I wanted.

The last one, actually I tried a lot of ways from a lot of spots as the sun was setting. Didn't really get what I wanted, but this was the best of them to my eye.

#2 was from the top of a climb, but there were power lines and scrub trees and things up there and I hadn't have hiked so hard to get there I probably wouldn't have bothered. Nothing really spoke to me and it was about 11am, so no special light.

The chipmonk was a snapshot.

How would you have photographed the bridge differently? I was really inspired by the location, but not so much with the result. Any ideas?

The best angle I got of the bridge, I posted here.

The sun was hitting the cliff in a nice way too. I posted it in critique because I wasn't happy with the horizon line and wanted advice, which I got and need to go and play with.

I really value the feedback and appreciate the comments all around.

Thanks for sharing. I was stationed at the Naval Air Station on Whidby Island for 2 years and I went across the pass a boatload of times. Really enjoyed my time there.
