So you’re driving around rural, central Florida hunting for photographs in the middle of the day. It’s hot, the shadows are harsh. There almost nothing out there. But I see this lone palm tree on a random road in Bradenton, FL. There are trucks whizzing by. I stop on the side of the road and take this photo. One lone palm tree in front of a pasture.
I break rules
– NO “rule of thirds”.
– I put the subject right smack in the middle (but I do plan to crop this square).
– I shoot in the harsh light of mid-morning
But in the end, I really like this photo. To me it conveys the ethos of this area. Rural, wide open spaces,
