Simplicity means things which look very ordinary for first time, makes us feels very special when looked at it again !
I like the soft glow this little bolt creates through the rain. Just a simple one to contrast the last upload.

During the Spring and early Summer, fog usually comes in from the ocean in the late afternoon/early evening along the Southern California coast, which makes seeing sunsets somewhat of a rarity at this time of year. On this occasion, however, there was an ocean-ward flow of air and I raced from my home to Santa Monica (just a few km away) in hopes of catching a multi-hued, technicolor sunset. I must admit I was a little disappointed at first by the subtlety of the colours I saw in the sky, until a brief moment just as the sun dipped behind the hills above Malibu; the entire horizon was painted in pastel, from salmon-pink to the faintest aqua. I was reminded that sometimes the greatest beauty is found in simplicity. Photographed in Santa Monica, California.

One of the things I had constantly in my mind while in Antarctica was that although the place is very different from the rest of the world there are also a lot of commonalities. Take the deserts from this part of the world as an example. When you take a close-up image of the desert you’ll usually find some very simple leading lines and this was very similar in Antarctica with lines created by the sky, the snow and the shadows.
Taking this sort of simple, less is more type of shot is not always as easy as it looks. The simpler the image the more obvious will any mistakes be. The composition needs to be really balanced for an image like this to work and I’m finding these type of photographs really useful in helping me with my commercial work and in particular with my interior photography. This is because interior photographs usually need to be really airy and bright with as little clutter as possible, which is why it’s so important to make sure your composition leads the eyes through the image, inviting the viewer into the space you are photographing.

Of late, I've found myself attempting to get more out of RAW files, to bring out more natural beauty of images, the shadows, the soft light, and motion. I've gone back to reprocess, or just process, some older shots that I was never really completely happy with. This image is a single RAW, plain and simple...and I think i'm finally happy with it. The previous version of this shot was an HDR, and while I love HDR (don't get me wrong), I felt it didn't really capture the landscape very well.
I think this week, I'll just put out some old shots that I've reprocessed and anyone viewing this stream can feel free to voice their opinions and preferences. Thanks a lot...
I decided to try to come up with something else using the same elements as my other shot for this challenge and I like this one better. Maybe not quite as simple but simple nonetheless. I hope everyone's week is going good so far.
This photo was taken on my last visit to the Calgary Zoo, on 14 October 2014. By now, the butterfly display may have come to an end, and there will be no butterflies till sometime, I think, in April next year. On my last visit, there were quite a few butterflies, but very few different kinds - and it was only occasionally that one of them would land and stay. This was one of the very few co-operative ones that I was lucky enough to catch. I rather liked the way it was perched near the tip of this beautiful, pink-edged leaf. Tried to find an ID last night, but without luck. Not sure if I've ever seen this kind before - couldn't see one in my Tropical Butterfly album.
