Two Years Waiting
Today my father called to ask me if my daughter was alright after she rolled her car 4 times. What!!!!! I exclaimed, who told you that. He informed me that it was posted on my nieces Facebook page. Apparently, Facebook spits out anniversary facts along with a photo and today was the day that my daughter rolled her car 4 years ago.
As we spoke, I turned to see the perfect conditions unfolding before my very eyes, Since I have become interested in landscape photography I have waited two years for the right light, clouds and snow cover to envelope the mountain so that I could capture it in the style I’m accustomed to photographing, and finally the day had come.
This is the view of Mount Baldy which sits right behind my home and is the view that I see every day that I step into my backyard, except my view is contaminated by large power lines that spoil my vantage point. I was hoping that the tip of the peak would be in view but alas, at the last minute the clouds rolled over the top and obscured the top most portion of the mountain. Just as Ansel Adams said. “Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer- and often the supreme disappointment” I won’t say the I was disappointed but I am still waiting for the ultimate shot of this mountain top, and one day I will have my prize. :) Hope you like it. :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend my friends!! :)
