Natural landscapes: the tilt of land
MORNING ON THE GRAND RIVER, CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO
This 280-kilometre river flows through the southwestern part of this Canadian province, emptying into Lake Erie (one of the five Great Lakes shared by Canada and the United States). It’s a quietly picturesque river, especially in pleasing morning conditions like this with an interesting sky.
After doing a number of standard compositions, I wanted something a little different, so I twisted the Nikon D90 enough to seriously skew the horizon. Now it’s something quite beyond a postcard photo, in my opinion. Tripod, polarizing filter, two-stop hard-edge graduated density (darkening) filter on the sky.

FRANK KING PHOTOS 
Interesting perspective, Frank. The scene reminds me of a spot in another part of Ontario (Au Sable Canal, in Pinery Provincial Park on Lake Huron).
Thanks for the kind comment, Kerry. Haven’t been to Pinery Provincial Park, but would love to check it out one day.
