Persistence (Death Valley Super Bloom) — FEEL FREE TO SHARE!
Prints here: www.cathyandersonphotography.com
As the deserts of Death Valley erupted in blankets of golden flowers during wildflower super bloom, I began searching for other colors and different points of view. If you drive just a little farther south past the fields of gold blanketing the valley floor, you'll find patches of purple and white flowers too. As I walked past a patch of purple flowers, I spotted this lovely golden flower pushing up through the blanket of purple. I thought the juxtaposition of the complimentary colors of yellow and purple contrasting against each other was especially lovely. Keep your eyes locked on this page and the places below to check out more of my favorite photos from the Super Bloom of 2016 in Death Valley!

One of Oregon's secret hideaways is located just east of Tygh Valley along Highway 216. The White River plunges 90' over a basalt shelf. The park offers excellent viewpoints of the White River falls. A rugged quarter-mile trail takes hikers down deep within the canyon to the historic hydroelectric power plant at the base of the raw, churning power of the falls. The power plant supplied electricity to Wasco and Sherman Counties from 1910 until the completion of The Dalles Dam in 1960.
The park is a popular picnicking, hiking and fishing retreat for visitors to the Deschutes River corridor. Opening early each spring when the desert flowers are in bloom and closing after the leaves turn in the fall, this park offers all of the intrigue of history since time began. The chasm of the falls tells a geological story of violence and power; the old grist pond tells the story of people learning to use that power. The hydroelectric plant at the bottom tells the story of human ingenuity and persistence as we turned the Pacific Northwest's abundant natural energy into electricity.

With "Persistence in Motion," my vision was to blend the stillness of the gym environment with the fluid motion of a workout. Using an aperture of f/16 and an ISO of 100, my intention was to keep the entire scene sharp while capturing the details of the movement without introducing noise. At 0.4 seconds, the exposure was long enough to record the movement of my body as a blur, while the rest of the gym remained static, emphasizing the action.
Upon reflection, my choice of f/16, although it provided a deep depth of field, might have been unnecessarily narrow for the distance between my camera and the subject. A wider aperture could have allowed for a shorter exposure time, which might have given me a slightly crisper delineation of movement while still conveying the energy of the push-up.
The use of natural light contributed to the warmth of the image, but the absence of additional lighting sources led to a reliance on a longer exposure, which is evident in the degree of motion blur. In hindsight, incorporating a flash or continuous lighting might have given me more control over the motion effect, allowing for a sharper capture of 'frozen' moments amidst the blur.
The composition through the lens of my equipment placed emphasis on my arms and the mat, but the angle of the shot might have been more impactful from a lower or higher perspective to further accentuate the motion against the gym setup.
Overall, "Persistence in Motion" captures the energy of the workout, yet I recognize opportunities for growth in my technique, particularly in balancing the exposure triangle to achieve the desired artistic effect while showcasing the intensity and concentration of exercise.

Strange tree on Thursley Common. It looks as though it started out normally but then broke off. Respreading from the break-point in four different directions.

Some times ago, after posting this shot ( Captivity ) a friend of mine wrote to me : ""Wouldn't it be nice if we could destroy such images and, by so doing, also destroy the very things that brought the images into existence? "
I spied this grass tree growing out of a split in a boulder. Aussie plants will grow I some of the most inhospitable places, in shallow and poor soils, and still make such impressive specimens! [Colo, NSW]
