When I arrived just before sunset down at the Newport Pier a few weeks ago, I started shooting as soon as I hit the beach. The late afternoon light was fantastic and as I reached the shoreline, I was immediately struck by the incredible reflection coming off of that remarkably flat beach. As the clouds above turned orange, I began to try to frame the pier into my shot along with the incredible reflection which was literally all around me at this point. As I lined up the shot, a little boy, probably around 4 years old or so, bounced into my frame, just as I was about to take a bracket or two. At first, I immediately went into my frustrated photographer mode and began fuming at the parents behind him who neglected to tell him to get the heck out of the way of the nice man who was trying to bracket a set of shots before all the good light was gone. But before I actually had time to get really irritated, I saw his silhouette against the sand and instantly decided to include him in the frame. In this particular shot, it appeared as if he was literally reaching down to touch the clouds reflected all around him on the beach.
The take away for me here was the realization that sometimes you end up liking the shot you thought was ruined more than the shot you had originally composed.

A sunset cruise is leaving Navy Pier for a beautiful view of downtown Chicago as the sun is setting.
seems every time I catch a hilltop in an image...someone is standing there decorating it...as this was quite late I thought I had gotten away with a people free shot but no - when I got back and blew the image up,,,there were the people...probably some one catching the hill top sunset ...

This is one of the views that the owners of a house on Lookout Point will have when they move into their new house that nearing completion.
Tonight a thunderstorm was over the salt lake in San Luis and created a very dramatic light. It got to dangerous to stay on the lake as the lightning started. But I have some very nice photos. Nice to meet Pedro Teurel and Jeronimo Contreras to share this magic evening.
another archival shot...this one is a wider angle view of a sunset I posted a few months ago. I packed up and left the beach at fort desoto thinking the light show was over when the sun disappeared below the horizon. As I was driving out of the park, the sky exploded into this incredible color. Having stowed my gear, I pulled over, grabbed my G9 and set it on a bean bag on the roof of the car and took several shots with the timer. I feel really fortunate to have seen this one.
