A simple fragment spied in the city mixed with ICM, intentional camera movement, creates a wondrous pattern that delights my eye. Contrasting textures and shapes and colors all add to an orderly repeat of elements and patterns.

I scouted this location on December 19th, 2020, and returned the next afternoon with both film and digital cameras. I was given an early Christmas present with the fantastic scene that unfolded around me. Many different bird species use this area as a stopover going south for the winter. I have not received my film rolls back from developing. I find it hard to believe that any of those images will surpass this particular digital shot: especially considering the demanding dynamic range and color of this sunset scene. We shall see in the next few weeks when the film scans arrive.
The clouds were insane!!! I've already posted an iPhone version ... finally getting around to the Nikon shots. I am amazed anew at the wonder & glory of Mother Nature. I love how the clouds and reflections meet up at the end of the pier.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday!! HCS!!
Shot as Seen
A brilliant yellow line pierces the sky as it drapes itself across the horizontal plane. Mysterious - certainly not from the light fixture it crosses. A billowing cloud and light splashed sky add patterns and details to explore. Nice contrast in both tones and color values creating a bit of energy. Sometimes reflections are just too good to pass by.

You know when I saw the sunbeams that I didn't take just one shot. I lingered there for a long time ... capturing the sunbeams as they slowly danced through the trees.
Though this shot isn't as dramatic as the earlier shots, I reveled in the color that slowly revealed itself ... in the contrast of light and shadow dappling the pavement ... and I stood there in the shade until the last sunbeam faded away.

The sunrise was beautiful on Monday but I didn't want to go out into the subzero temps. So I stood on a chair and shot through the icicles hanging from the eaves!
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
Off to roller ice skate (sorry about that) in Chicago one last time before Rachel leaves tomorrow!!
They open to and fro creating mirror images without a mirror. Arcs draw my eye - rectangles intersect - it just fascinates in a way that demands capture. Bold lines anchor all over and provide paths to investigate everything that is included in the frame. It lives in harmony.

Landscape photography often rewards patience more than planning. This image was created during a period of rapidly changing weather when dense cloud cover obscured much of the surrounding landscape. For a brief moment, the clouds parted, allowing shafts of sunlight to reach the mountainside and lake below.
The composition uses the winding path as a visual guide, inviting the viewer into the scene while emphasizing the scale of the landscape beyond. The contrast between the darkened foreground, the illuminated slopes, and the dramatic cloud formations creates a sense of tension and balance that reflects the constantly changing nature of mountain environments.
This work explores the relationship between weather, light, and place—capturing a fleeting moment that existed for only a few seconds before disappearing back into shadow.

Morning light at Serón
[This is a series of photos that I took while backpacking Torres del Paine. I tried to take as many photos as possible, but it rained so much more than I had ever anticipated, so it was not possible. Itt was extremely windy, so a combination of both rain and wind made it difficult to shoot while actually hiking.]
I didn’t know if these were any good. I just took as many shots as I could before the light faded.
Little did I know that more rain was in store for the next several days, and for the remainder of the trip I managed to take only half of what I took that day.
So, I am glad that I took this shot and that I was able to turn this into part of the mini series - Morning light at Serón.
Rough seas and high waves give this gull an opportunity to cruise. Action, frozen in time gives my eye time to linger on details that usually rush by. Intricate shapes and patterns emerge. The energy of the subject is complimented by the high contrast and dynamic lines.

I am so enamored with the warm color palette seen along the Artist Palette drive in Death Valley. Everywhere I turned, the setting sun was painting a new canvas.
