Reflections on the lake last night

Learning to make Lightroom presets, this one is called "Pinked". I like pink, so, pink.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

Hope your New Year is filled with love.

Reflections at Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland at night. Weather conditions were near ideal for reflections. It was a calm night and a clear moonlit sky. Long exposure taken with my Camera mounted on my Manfrotto 190 tripod.
I keep asking myself why I take pictures. Why am I photographer? The truth is....I'm not sure. I've always liked creating things and being an introvert, photography was something I could do on my own.
I enjoy documenting the world around me and a lot of my photos are around my house because I just don't get out that often or I don't bring my camera with me enough when I do get out.
One of the best things about being a generalist in photography, I can shoot whatever I want which is great but it also means I'll never be really good one particular genre. I've never really been good at anything in life, photography has really been the only thing that people actually seem to like from me. That makes me happy and brings joy to my life when people enjoy my work.
As you may have noticed, I'm not as active on Flickr as I once was. Flickr has become a big time suck for me, I was spending hours and hours a day looking at other peoples photos and usually commenting on them but that was taking time away from me and It may sound selfish but I need time to work on me to become a better person and a better photographer. I also want to get back into making YouTube videos as well.
I don't know. I was Lightroom and I saw this photo of me being reflected in this hubcap and kind of had one of those self reflection moments about why I take pictures. I've been too hard on myself lately when it comes to photography. It's suppose to be a fun thing, I shouldn't stress out over it.
I realized that I focused so much on the numbers and that's not what photography is about.
So I want to have fun taking pictures again, I don't want to think about whether or not people will like this photo or not because in the end, it doesn't matter. I'm the only one who has to like it and if others don't, they that's fine too. I enjoy sharing my photos with the world because that one photo could make a difference in someone out there. It could put a smile on that one person that's having a real bad day. That's worth it to me.
If you read all of this, Thank you. Means a lot ot me.
When we were visiting in November, the crowds were lighter. I've never been during the high season, but have heard about the crowds, pigeons and stifling heat. We almost cancelled the trip to Venice as we were reading about Acqua Alta (high water) in Paris. I'm glad we didn't. The conditions were more than perfect. The best part was finding quiet canals like this one to enjoy on a mid-day stroll.
Acqua Alta is when the lagoon water level rises above the level of the squares and streets, flooding them. It can happen several times a year, usually in the colder months. Acqua alta usually lasts a few hours and coincides with high tide.
We just announced several new workshops for May & June! We'll be going to Reflection Canyon and Coyote Gulch on May 16-18. I took this shot of Reflection Canyon last spring and it really lived up to its name with crystal clear reflections! The Escalante workshops will be held on May 11-15 and June 9-13 and will focus on night photography.
You'll want to photograph the wild and vast Grand Staircase Escalante before it all changes! You've probably heard that it will be reduced in size and significant infrastructural changes have been planned for oil, gas, and mining activities. These events will undoubtedly change this uniquely beautiful landscape with increased human foot-print, light pollution, and contamination. As it is right now, the Grand Staircase has the darkest skies in the lower 48 states and is THE mecca for night photography.

Took this image of a boat's reflection and edited it for a different quality. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail
I headed out to Tackyland to meet up with Tackyshack and Duane Schoon who was able to stop by on his way up to Maryland. It was certainly a great time being able to paint with some of the greats and it's always a great night of light painting when you are driving back home during sunrise.
Tacky had an idea to wade out in front of the cattails for a shot and then Schoon added in his touch in front of the bamboo patch. I really enjoy the different reflections that we were able to pull with this shot.
Straight out of the camera with a crop.
