Carla noticed this neat lineup of culverts along a nearby rural highway a while ago, and commented that she thought it could be the basis for some nice photo work.
Today I went and had a first crack at it. Here is what I think is the most promising frame:
This is the full frame, ex camera with no post processing other than reducing the resolution and a little sharpening to support that. Focal length was 200 mm.
My first thought was that I would like to shoot it from an even greater distance to get a more prominent "compression of distance" effect. But the road topography isn't very accommodating. Still, I think I may be able to work something out later along that line.
I had also wanted to have the culverts "all in a line", but as you can see, a bunch of overhanging branches precluded that. But now that I see the curve of the culverts, I'm not so sure "in a line" would be better. Still, it may be that in winter the foliage may retreat and give me more options.
I'd appreciate any thoughts you folks can give as to how I can best advance this concept.
