Camping Near the Ohio River, the leaves have not changed color here yet as we stopped to camp for a few days. Early morning campfires are going as the smoke is highlighted by the sun rays through the trees.

You can see the bridge off in the distance where you can travel across it and enter Kentucky, yes the Ohio river between Illinois and Kentucky.

We have camped here a couple of times. I took this photo below a couple of years ago from the same park. Sunrise at the Ohio river.

A few photos of the critters around the park are always fun to take. I am guessing this is a ground hog and I don’t think he is seeing his shadow this fall yet. That might be good news.

And these guys are just basking in the morning light. Turtles are always fun to watch.

Forced Perspective Photography

By Sandra | September 23, 2020

Forced Perspective Photography involves two points of interest , These work together to create an illusion. There would be one subject in the foreground, and another in the background. I have been doing this for a few years now, I just did not know there was a term for it.

For example this first photo is just a tree stump by the water. But, having the camera right next to it makes it actually look bigger than it really is.

The rest of these photos I took at the end of August, there was only the one tree with some color.

I find the color blue is a very relaxing color for me. One of the reasons I am drawn to lakes in the early mornings where the water is reflecting the blue sky’s above. I can spend all day at places like this.
