Ahh, the fun of breaking the rules! Grateful Day Fifty-six’s post breaks pretty much all the rules because I didn’t make the photo! So enjoy a post written by my wife, Sue, who made the shot…
While Jerod was officiating a wedding rehearsal in the beautiful mountains of Nye, MT, I took the opportunity to go out sight-seeing with the kids, D5000 in hand. Gannon, who is Jerod’s photography prodigy, pointed out that there was a tree growing out of the top of one of the peaks. I pulled over and made a few shots of the tree atop the mountain, and then backed out of the frame (this is a no-zoom lens that Jerod just bought…the Nikkor f1.8 35mm DX ) in order to capture the tree in the foreground. I am really pleased with how this shot turned out, not only because it is a nice example of framing and depth, but that Gannon and I really put our brains together in order to come up with it. I am very grateful that Gannon and I are learning so much from Jerod, and that we can share this with him.

I was born in raised in Montana and have lived in the Billings area since 1995 but I have never made the trip to this beautiful area. So Friday night when we drove down for the rehearsal I was awe-struck at the natural beauty in the area and was excited to make some photos. However, as I mentioned, I was not there to fiddle around with my camera. I was there to rehearse a wedding so Sue, my wife, was able to make a couple photos while she waited for the rehearsal to finish. I even chose one of her photos for my Grateful post, which can be seen here. […]
