Night Storm
Beautiful light; wonderful shapes that repeat in a pattern; brilliant drama in color. All conspire to created a visual piece that calls for closer study. A single frame. No layers added. It is as shot with a color shift to deep red tones.
Shot at the same site as yesterday's post.

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.

I caught this chasing the storm and the light yesterday. If you zoom in on the clouds you can see hundreds of birds in formation heading south. More photos like this can be found at www.benjaminfargendesigns.com/
Light plays just so. The shapes cast provide anchors and offset framing for the main characters lit with gorgeous rim light. Patterns abound adding visual interest to the simple scene. An extra - his elbow pointing my eye inward - adds a whimsical touch. Monochrome keeps it simple - it's all about shapes and tones and contrast. And the story.

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.

Another misty sunrise shot. I loved the blanket of fog enshrouding this rural scene, and the wonderfully long shadows. This should be the last of my sunbeams & fog session folks!
It is a very windy & chilly day in Chicago. 50 mph winds last night, so I will be stepping outside to see if there any leaves yet.
Happy Fence Friday Everyone!
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.

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.
"Chasing Light" - Basking in the last of the morning light. A simple capture of light and autumn warmth on my journey through nature.
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.
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.

I usually post only one picture of a location unless I change the field of view dramatically but for this shot I am making an exception to my own rule. This shot was another one I took during sunset at Dante’s View at Death Valley National Park. In the foreground is the Black mountain range and the mountains on the other side are the Panamint Range. The sun was setting over the Panamint and was lighting up the clouds with such beautiful colors, this had to be in the top 5 of the best sunsets I have ever witnessed.
Thanks for visiting and the encouraging words and faves..

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!!
On my recent trip up the coast, I went on a few photoshoots with Surfma ! She knows where all the cool spots are and has the best A++ rated Bed & Breakfast on the West Coast!
Happy Monday Folks!!
The light changed every second, yet each frame captured a new kind of beauty. A fleeting moment, frozen in time, where motion and magic meet. ✨️
