Standard Photo Composition By Hick

Hick sent me a picture on Tuesday. The subject was:

No, he's not talking about the port-a-potty. They don't fly! There's a long row of more storage lockers. A telephone tower. And some tiny dot in the sky almost dead-center in the photo. I blew it up so you could get a better look.

 
No, it's not the Backroads version of Red Dawn. The Russians aren't parachuting in to claim Backroads as their territory. It's one of those parachute contraptions with a seat and a big fan, that the parachutist can "drive" wherever he wants. I've seen it much closer, years ago, flying over the sheep field.

It looks like Hick just lifted up his phone in the general direction, and took a picture. Typical framing style for Hick. Tiny subject in the middle, a lot of scenery all around.

  1. I imagine Hick wants one now. Will he be taking to the skies?

    1. I imagine Hick wants to FIND one at a bargain price, and resell it! I doubt he would give it a test run. He won't drive back from Oklahoma on that beautiful route through Arkansas again, because driving over the high spans through the Ozarks made him nervous.

  2. Once again, I recognize the camera work and the spelling.

  3. Sometimes the scenery is more interesting, particularly if you can't see what you are supposed to be seeing. But I spotted the parachutist right away and wished Kick knew how to zoom in.

    1. I wonder if Hick knows his phone camera has that zoom-in feature... He uses it when LOOKING at already-taken pictures.
