Little Things

While I was wondering around the Smokies last weekend I did something I don't do often enough.

I just took my time, looked around, sat on a rock once in a while, and took it all in.

Usually when I'm off taking pictures I seem like I'm rushing things. Can't wait to set the tripod up, click the shutter, take the picture, and go on to the next one.

I think my photos have been suffering from that. I've got to slow down. Slow down and look for the little things. Composition, lighting, all the details and the little things that make a picture an image.

Speaking of little things....the "big" mushroom in this image is only about 3/4 inch tall. Took my time, saw it on the side of a log, and had the best time of the weekend playing around with it.
