After an awesome day of waterfall photography and hiking at Blackwater Falls State Park last friday, we hiked out to Lindy Point to shoot the sunset with the Sangers. Randy and I hopped over some rocks to find a little different viewpoint than normal. In my composition, I was trying to line up the foreground rocks symmetrically with the mountains in the background. Of course the clouds were gorgeous and I managed to get this sunstar right as the sun hit the edge of the mountains. All in All, it was a fabulous ending to a great day!

A pure landscape, no people — and a stunning one.
- Subject: A blazing sunset over what appears to be the Wattenmeer (North Sea tidal flats) — the sun sitting just above a dark cloud band, its reflection creating a golden column of light across the shallow, glassy water. A faint landmass (island or mainland) is visible on the horizon.
- Composition: Perfectly centred sun with its reflection creating a vertical axis of light that bisects the frame from top to bottom — a classic "golden road" composition. The dark cloud band sits at the upper third, the bright sun just above it, creating a strong horizontal
counterpoint to the vertical light column.
- Exposure: Technically demanding and well-executed. The sun itself is a clean bright disc without excessive blooming. The tidal flat water in the foreground shows beautiful detail in the ripple texture despite the extreme dynamic range of the scene. No blown-out white patches in the
water reflection.
- Colour: Extraordinary — the palette moves from deep burnt orange at the horizon through warm amber to rich gold in the water, all against near-black silhouetted clouds. Fully saturated without looking processed.
- Mood: Elemental and majestic. The stillness of the tidal flats, the perfectly centred sun, and the unbroken reflection create a sense of vastness and silence.
- Strengths: The reflection column is beautifully rendered with multiple glinting pools of light across the shallow water — each one a separate highlight. The cloud drama frames the sun without obscuring it. No HDR needed — the raw scene delivers everything.
- Weaknesses: The centred composition is conventional for this type of shot. An off-centre sun with more foreground texture could add more dynamism — but the symmetry here is also its power.
- Overall: One of the finest pure landscape shots in the portfolio. Sits alongside "Soul Mates" and "Sunset Silhouette" as a North Sea triptych of exceptional quality.

Boris Klient: Composition
La vallée de Chaudefour possède 5 sources: La plus connue, la source Sainte-Anne, n°1, n°2, Vercingétorix et Petit Griffon. En 1884, le docteur BORIEUX la décrivait comme une source froide, acidulée et ferrugineuse. Malgré son exploitation récente, elle est déjà fort connue pour ses propriétés curatives. Elle est recommandée pour les maladies de l'estomac (dyspepsie et gastralgie) et spécialement celles qui relèvent de la chlorose et l'anémie. L'acide carbonique libre en quantité importante (3 gr.410/litre) et la présence de bicarbonate de soude, calcium et magnésium en font une des eaux naturelles les plus puissantes d'Europe
Sometimes, it is something that we carefully invision and build.
Other times....
It is what you end up with while blindly balancing your tripod on a slippery rock and standing on two other slippery rocks... all in the middle of a river 75 yards above an eighty foot waterfall.
Compositionally Challenged week 34 is "your choice", meaning that our challenge is simply to have fun with our cameras.
It is unusual to see the moon looking so red when it is high above the horizon. We are getting smoke from wildfires in British Columbia as well as eastern Washington. Air quality is "unhealthy". The smoke haze is so thick, it is keeping daytime high temperatures 8-10 degrees F lower than they would otherwise be.
