Here is a series of photos. Sometimes it’s where you shoot. I live about 9 miles from a place called Hidden Lake Gardens. It’s a beautiful arboretum type place, outside of Tipton Mi. I have been shooting there since 1980. I shot many senior portraits there. Since then, other senior portrait photographers have gone there. Years ago, I went on the paths and shot what I thought was good. I figured that I’d covered the place.

In early April of this year, I got in the mood to walk outside and went to Hidden Lake, and got on trails that I’d never seen before. (They have really opened up where people can go). I found a cross country skiing trail that used to be a road in ancient times. I found places where I wanted to shoot and returned and shot them, in some cases a couple of times. I wanted to shoot on an overcast day, with no leaves on the trees. A different season would make these look totally different.

The first one is of the old road, it is framed by the many trees and the road curves nicely and somewhat thirds. ISO- 200 Shutter Speed- 1/15 Aperture- f18 Lens- 52mm
