I submitted this image to the Arizona Highways magazine 2020 photo contest. It required a title and description. I struggled most with a title, and ultimately called it "Camping Reflections" based on my description below:
I am an amateur photographer and decided that while camping at Big Lake, I would attempt to photograph the milky way over the lake. Camping at Big Lake is something of a tradition among the men in our family, and on this trip I was with my brothers-in-law and two of my nephews. I’d researched some locations as well as various tips/tricks to get a starting point for capturing something worth printing. I drove out to Reservation Lake the night before and took several shots of the milky way, which I shared with my nephews the following morning. The night this photo was taken, I’d calculated the drive and setup time so I could be in position to shoot the galactic center of the milky way. It had rained heavily at the campground all afternoon, and was still cloudy as it approached the time to leave. I was hesitant to go as I believed more rain was coming, but decided to give it a shot at the last minute. As I informed the family of my intentions, much to my surprise, but my nephews both jumped up and said, “we want to come.”
We got there, setup the gear, and waited to see what the night had in store. As luck would have it, there were clouds blocking our view. We watched, waited, and managed to get several shots between cloud banks. Just when we thought we would have to call it a night, the clouds overhead started to thin. Soon, we had an unobstructed view of the milky way, and could see the occasional flicker of lighting off to the southwest. We saw the thunderstorm was moving into view when my nephew asked if we could “get the lightning too.” We spent the next hour playing with the settings trying to find a setup that worked for both the storm and milky way. We progressed to a point where we’d open the shutter, and hope that we could get a flash of lightning during the exposure.
I struggled to title this picture as it captured so much in one image. The power of the storm crossing the horizon, the sound of the rolling thunder, the insignificance felt standing under all those stars, the glow of the warm campfires across the lake… But the feelings the image is unable to convey is the fun we had capturing it, the excitement we felt when the lightning would flash during an exposure, nor the anticipation waiting for the image to be saved so that we could view it. Over the years our camper ranks have dwindled. Primarily as the younger generations graduate and move on to college or careers. It won’t be much longer until, like my son, my nephews will have obligations preventing them from camping with us. But every time I look at the image I will be reminded of that night and how much it meant to me.
Hello everyone,...after some difficult and emotional month, I'm back. I lost my Dad...during several month I put all my sadness and émotion in my photos...
another reflection in a very small lake in the Lake O'Hara area of Yoho National Park. This is truly a Canadian gem but not really easy to visit as there are daily quotas on the number of people allowed in to the area. The original cabins were built bu the railway in the 1930's but we roughed it in one of the Alpine Huts.
Llynnau Mymbyr are two lakes located in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a valley running from the village of Capel Curig to the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel in Snowdonia, north-west Wales. The A4086 runs along their northern banks.
Here we see the Snowdon horseshoe reflected in the waters.
I was standing on brick ground shooting down through the window, at the cat that was sitting on the floor, inside a shop in downtown Grand Rapids. Hence, the reflection is the ground I was standing on. This was taken several years ago.
Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
Some reflections in a lake not far from Tomar , center Portugal .
A quiet place to contemplate facing the beautiful ochre colours of the ground .
Reflections along the river Rothay in Grasmere in 2020
The Rothay is a spate river of the Lake District in north-west England. Its name comes from Old Norse and translates literally as the red one. This has come to mean trout river. It rises close to Rough Crag above Dunmail Raise at a point about 1542 feet above sea level.
