We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

For nearly 40 years, the folks at the Utah Department of Natural Resources have gathered the bison herd on Antelope Island to check their health and manage the population. This annual roundup draws people from all over the world, young and old, locals and travelers. This year, I chatted with a couple from Canada and a gentleman who had come all the way from Argentina.
The rider pictured here was an Utah native who’s been part of the roundup for years. At 80-plus years old, he told me he might only have a few more rides left with his trusty horse who’s now over 20 years old itself. But from what I saw, he looked tough as nails and ready for another day in the saddle.
Before the roundup began, I asked if he’d take a few warm-up laps around the open field. He grinned and asked, “Walk or run?”
“Run, of course,” I said.
And run they did.
From his hat, I’d guess he once rode with the U.S. Cavalry, the kind of man who’s spent a lifetime charging into life full stride, horse and all.
I think the round-up brings back a sense of history. A way to remember and maybe even romanticize today’s cowboys and cowgirls.

I chased the light all the way up to Lake Bluff yesterday morning; and arrived just as the sun started it's ascent from the lake. As I clicked away, I was thinking of Lakeside Park. It doesn't have much to do with this image other than the "Lakeside Park" bit! The title is a bit of lyric from the song ... and who doesn't love a little bit of Rush every now and then; or is it just me getting all nostalgic for some mid 70s jams?
I dedicate this image to a fellow light chaser Heather, aka hms_chic, who rocks the rising and setting of the sun! Check out her sets for both!

Spent the entire day driving ... Missouri ... Oklahoma ... Texas Panhandle ... New Mexico. Arrived in Santa Fe just before sunset and spent an enjoyable hour on an empty stretch of highway photographing the sun setting behind the mountains, horses and of course some fences!
We are staying two nights at the El Rey Inn, a motor court built in 1936 on what was originally Rt. 66. We wanted to stay in a place that captures the flavor of this beautiful city! Today, we plan to explore from sunrise to sunset starting off with breakfast at Pasqual's (recommended by the proprietor)! I'll let you know how it was!
Have an awesome Wednesday everyone! Miss ya'll!! :D
“ 'Anything I learnt would have to be justified by private benefit rather than by the interest of others. My discoveries would have to enliven me; they would have in some way to prove ‘life-enhancing’.
The term was Nietzsche's. In the autumn of 1873, Friedrich Nietzsche composed an essay in which he distinguished between collecting facts like an explorer or academic and using already well known facts to the end of inner, psychological enrichment”

The sunsets recently have taken my breath away... I apologize in advance for the stream of sunset photos that is coming! ;)
Faces
Reflections play in a sea of blue. Shapes morph and when I look closely, I start to count the faces that appear in the squiggly lines. Deep and rich colors create a vibrant mood. Light is generous as it exposes even the smallest details. Liquid motion - everything is on the move.

"We need the tonic of wildness—At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be infinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable.
We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets.
We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander" 👟

... I apologize in advance for bringing you yet another one!
This is #7 in the series {and that doesn't even take into account the ones I posted on Instagram}! If you are interested in seeing the Instagram versions, you can check out my Instagram gallery here: statigr.am/pixelmama I'd love to find out who else is on Instagram!!
As you can see from the SOOC in comments, I slid the heck out of this image. The originals below are the middle & under-exposed images of a 3-bracket set. The over-exposed image was totally blown out. The sky in the under-exposed image of the set is what I was going for in the sky, but the surfers were too dark and not in a good position like the middle exposure image. I started with an image blend, but it was a hand-held bracket shot and it didn't line up at all! Imagine that! *note to self: use tripod for bracketed shots*
To begin my slide, I selected the middle-exposure image and processed using my standard Photoshop edits {levels, H/S, etc.}. I then opened it in RadLab . I really like RadLab with the endless possibilities and tweaking you can do with it.
The final step was a fine-tuning in Nik Viveza. Of all the plug-ins I have, I think I use Viveza the most. The final image looks completely different, doesn't it? Sliding is so much fun!
Hope everyone is having a Marvelous & Happy Sliders Sunday!!

When the museum architecture is as inspiring as this, what’s exhibited has to be grand. The Joslyn did not disappoint. Omaha, Nebraska. Sister is on 49/50 states before the 31st anniversary of her 29th birthday in June ‘26.

Headed out to my favorite sunrise spot this morning just before the sun came up; plenty of time to catch the sun as it rose to just above the horizon.
Photography Tip: Don't wear flip flops when slipping out into the predawn light. The morning dew meant I ended up kicking them off and walking barefoot up the slippery slope to get to this spot!!
Happy Thursday Everyone! Today is Jackie's last full day of High School and tomorrow is her last day! Yahoo!!
