a simple set up with pebbles from my fish tank & a marble, lighting with speedlight and for background bokeh using my Tab.....
Clouds on this evening added some mood to the scene with the Milky Way fighting to make its way into the sky over this northern Arizona landscape.
The warm light on the clouds is from Page, Arizona.

View of the beginning of the Grand Canyon ... was some nice reflections there on the Colorado River.
I tried this twice at 30 seconds and ISO 2500 ... then gave up and captured it at higher ISO for only 6 seconds, where I was still enough.
Neat formations there in Marble Canyon where the Grand Canyon begins.
Even with a 1/4 moon lighting the scene, the Milky Way was still showing up there in the sky in the early night.
I wanted something for scale, so used myself ;)
This marble, I had it in a drawer for a long time, these little ones, were the ones that entertained us when we were children. Today I take a picture of it, with a background of lights, to make it stand out more.
Esta canica, la tenía en un cajón guardada desde hacía mucho tiempo, estas pequeñas, eran las que nos entretenían cuando eramos niños. Hoy le echo una foto, con un fondo con luces, para que destacara más.

Quite a tricky shot this - was almost shooting into the Sun just after sunrise hence on the left side the highlights only just avoided being blown away. Wind was very very weak so had to use big stopper & little stopper together (never done that before) - thought I'd grown out of big stopper style shots but I haven't I'm afraid. If you use a dslr don't you have to be a bit creative??? I took a handheld shot of this the day before but without the long exposure just looks like a shot that a friend of mine calls "a snappy snap" :))
Thanks to Everyone who took the trouble to view, comment or fave.
