Once You Find Your True North, You Can Turn and Go Any Direction... (Congaree National Park)

            An image idea I got from a few other photographer where I used a compass in hand with a backdrop of a famous or iconic setting. In this case, it was the forested setting of bald cypress trees and the raised boardwalk trail. The rest of this was composing and lining up my hand (with compass) and then metering to get that right exposure.
