Must be going through my sunrise phase. One way to meet my goal of getting away from macros is to work on surise/set. The two tripod shot dynamic range extension technique seems to be essential for these types of shots. Exposure compensation of zero produces a histogram that climbs both walls, but shooting one at +1 and one at -2 and combining them using a density mask does the trick nicely.

Actually got my butt up enough before sunrise to drive a few miles down the road to the Manassas (Bull Run) Civil War Battlefield. I've just about exhausted the short walking distance subjects.
