An unexpected result, when I used the Adobe PS "remove tool," while working on a photo. Curious if anyone has experienced this.
Photographers call the time around sunrise and sunset the “magic” hour because the light is soft and casts a warm glow on the landscape. In the Utah Badlands, subtle shades of yellow and buff in the pinnacles and buttes become deeper and richer at these times of day.
“The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round.” — John Muir
“Sand Patterns” — Patterns in sand dunes, Death Valley National Park.
Our main photographic targets on our late-February trip to Death Valley were Lake Manly and the impressive wildflower bloom. But we did schedule one morning for a visit to the sand dunes. We arrived well before sunrise — it was still to dark to see our way into the dunes. Unfortunately, this was not going to be a morning for grand dune photographs, since morning overcast blocked the sunlight. So instead we focused on more intimate subjects — plants and flowers, the morning traces of the passage of wildlife, and the textures of windblown sand.
I’ll break with the tradition of the these posts and write a bit about a technical photographic topic. A challenge of photographing the sand is that, unless you photograph straight down or fine a suitably slanted bit of sand, depth of field is a problem. I use a solution that surprisingly few photographers seem to apply. I have a tilt/shift lens adapter for my landscape camera that lets me attach a medium format zoom lens and use the adapter’s movements to angle the pane of focus to match the surface of the dunes.

Hi guys, hope you're all going well. Haven't checked into Flickr for awhile as I've had a bit on. Anyway, here's some hawk shots I took last week (as always, no need to comment).

I love these bowls that my Mom gave me. She bought them at Costco. I actually use them more as photo props, then bowls.

in our culture of busyness and distraction, important things get lost: compassion, creativity, and presence. when i'm in a rush or lost in thoughts, i more easily box people into "other." but when i pause, i see our interconnection. it's not my pain or your pain, it's just pain. i can breathe in the collective pain, and breathe out love, acceptance, and compassion—compassion for myself, for friends, for strangers; compassion for the world.
