Caddo Lake, Uncertain Texas
This is a photo that I made one morning at sunrise as the sun broke over the hill and through the trees and onto the mist on the surface of the calm water.
When I saw the light I got pretty excited about it all.
This photo was taken from our canoe with my D850 and my trusty 70-200 vr ii, hand held, first thing in the morning. My good friend and
workshop co-leader Alyce Bender, just Bender to her friends, and I got out on the water as quickly as possible when we saw the mist on the water. It has 28°F and the water was vaporizing while the faintest breeze slowly moved it across the water surface.
I took a series of shots while the light beams were there. I liked this one best.
The comp is simple and the processing minimal, which I'm just fine with.

So, I'm experimenting again with interior sunset SP shadows. Here the setting sun behind me casts an interesting shadow on a door of our home in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Workshops & Tours: We are now taking bookings for our new 2021 Isle of Harris Tour!
This was mindblowingly beautiful when i encountered this last morning.
Pretty please view this on black here (true black) to lighten up the contrasts and remove some of the oversharpening, thanks.

From a solo trip to visit the giant trees in Redwood National Park! This scene came out of nowhere, and disappeared in merely couple of minutes.
Your comments and critiques are much appreciated. Thanks and have a great week, everyone!

Historia de la fotografía, en Castellano:
Hola de nuevo amigos, queriendo capturar más imágenes con el especial colorido del Otoño, realizamos otro madrugón para dirigirnos al parque natural del Montseny (Catalunya) y buscamos un lugar en concreto ya preestablecido para realizar fotografias hasta el mediodia, comer un bocadillo y trasladarnos rapidamente a otros paisajes para realizar fotos por la tarde y especialmente a una hora en concreto para terner unas luces adecuadas.
Anécdota de esta fotografía en concreto:
Yo estaba tendido sobre el follaje que habia en el suelo y se me aparece una señora que me pregunta que hacia! yo le contesté que estaba haciendo fotos, ella me dice que ya lo veía, pero que queria fotografiar con aquella postura... yo le digo que quería capturar las raices y a la vez los árboles en un contrapicado pero, que me entrara un pequeño rayo de sol, dado que era un duro contraluz.
Después de tomar esta foto, la señora me pregunta si las publico en redes sociales, le comento que en varias (Flickr - 500 PX - Instagram) me pide mi nombre o nik para poder verlas, toma nota de mi nombre y acto seguido... abre su bolso y saca un teléfono móvil y empezó a tomar fotos junto a mi.
La verdad era que las luces de aquel momento, eran las óptimas para tomar buenas fotos y aquí teneis la foto que tomé en aquel momento mientras estaba dialogando con la misteriosa señora.
Espero que os guste amigo/as. Antoni Gallart.

History of photography, in English:
Hello again friends, wanting to capture more images with the special colors of Autumn, we made another early morning to go to the Montseny Natural Park (Catalunya) and we looked for a specific place already pre-established to take pictures until noon, eat a sandwich and move quickly to other landscapes to take photos in the afternoon and especially at a specific time to have adequate lights.
Anecdote of this particular photograph:
I was lying on the foliage that was on the ground and a lady appeared to me and asked me what she was doing! I replied that I was taking photos, she told me that I already saw it, but that I wanted to photograph with that position ... I told her that I wanted to capture the roots and at the same time the trees in a low angle, but let a small ray enter me of the sun, since it was a harsh backlight.
After taking this photo, the lady asks me if I publish them on social networks, I tell her that in several (Flickr - 500 PX - Instagram) she asks me for my name or nik to be able to see them, take note of my name and then ... She opens her bag and takes out a mobile phone and started taking pictures with me.
The truth was that the lights of that moment were the best to take good photos and here is the photo I took at that time while I was talking to the mysterious lady.
I hope you like it my friend. Antoni Gallart.

This has to be one of my favourite Damselfly photos I’ve taken this season.
‘In the Spotlight’
Laying in the wet grass is becoming a very familiar pastime photographing these dainty little Damselflies. I may take up yoga with all the peculiar contorted body shapes I create to frame a shot. It’s not exactly a cool Vogue ‘Strike a Pose’ moment.♂️
I’m very happy with the way this one turned out.
*The timing, precision and patience is so important to achieve an image like this and the enjoyment of course*
Techy info.
Controlling the exposure was tricky shooting directly into the sun with the limitations of the camera shooting at 1/8000s at iso50. Unexpectedly the damselfly actually flapped it’s wings at high speed for a split second. I was able to capture them without blurring because of such a high shutter speed. I must admit I was lucky🍀 because I wouldn’t normally shoot a still object with these settings but was forced to in such bright light trying to control the exposure.
The image on the screen of the camera looked very overexposed but it’s amazing the detail you can recover shooting in raw format. In post processing I moved the highlights slider all the way to the left and the wings surprisingly appeared. I looked at the sequence of shots hoping for one with splashes of dew flying off the hovering wings. Now that would have been special!
