THE CITY


Mr. L. and two friends look out from a hillside high above the city. They can see Great American Ballpark, home of the Reds, clear across the Ohio River and into Kentucky.
The girls are visiting from a neighboring state to work on their 4-H Photography projects. It's been fun to see them going from taking snapshots to photos that many of us would be proud to claim. The youngest especially. She listens to an instruction and I can see her putting it into action with her next shot. she can name the parts of the camera and is using "Auto" less each day.

  1. I just love the composition and perspective of this city...what a cool and unique take on it! I also love the contrast between the green grass and park like setting in the foreground and the city in the background!

  4. It was great to shoot this from behind and to include so much of the view. Wonderful shot!

    Sounds like you're having fun with 4-H - it must be very satisfying for you to teach the kids photography.
