Nature put on an amazing show a couple days ago, and luckily I had a front seat. XD I did a bajillion photos, but here are four of the best ones, showing the sun passing through the cloud from beginning to end:
Hiding, breaking through, almost there, made it!
I appreciate any comments/opinions/critique/tips as always!
Just a few for today. I've finally finished scanning all my negatives. Well... not all. I've finished reviewing all my negatives and selectively scanning and being even more selective after that as to which ones I finished processing. So out of 288 frames, I scanned 50. Out of 50 I only edited about 20.
So today, I'll bring you three from Arches National Park that I liked. And I would like your opinion on which is the best out of the two Arch shots (one's just a shot of the fins I got to walk across).
Sometime next week I'll conclude my southwest trip with one last post. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend everyone!
SOMETIMES THE ROADS OF LIFE ARE NOT BRIGHT AND SUNNY. IMG_9645B2 IMG_9649 AND THEN SOMETIMES IT RAINS. IMG_9682BJPG SEE THE FLASH REFLECTION IN THE RAIN DROPS ?
Been a long time since my last visit here in Photographica.
This shot is taken at a place called "Öland" "Öland" is an island just outside Sweden and the island is famous for its landscape and some part of the island is marked as a World Heritage.
Best wishes all.
i forgot that i'd had to load up a second memory card at the car show last weekend. that's where i found this white on_white shot. it is essentially untouched, with the exception of bumping up the level on the red, to make it pop. well, and writing my name on it. (and i finally managed to hold the camera level)
Canola This pic I took whilst we driving 100 km/hr on a bumpy road headed for a camping weekend in the mountains of the Swartland, Western Cape, South Africa. The yellow field is a Canola Field in full bloom with the build up to evening showers in the distance. I thought it came out okay, considering the potholes and speed. What do you think?
About a week ago, I strapped on the hiking boots and headed for the Oquirrh Mountains, near Ophir, Utah. DSCF1988 I hiked up the ATV trail that leads to Lion Hill, and to say that it was steep would be an understatement. There were areas where I could only walk about 50 steps before I had to stop and catch my breath. The aspens were spectacular both ahead DSCF2008 and behind DSCF2011 me on the trail. Prospectors in the late 1800s were looking for silver, yet I sometimes wonder if they also enjoyed the gold DSCF2021_B of the aspens each fall. As it was, the silver mining was most likely a risky business DSCF2024 as they would dig deep into the mountain in search of elusive riches. After two and a half miles and a little over 1,800 vertical feet, I reached the plateau near the top of Lion Hill, and in the distance storm clouds were building DSCF2035_B .
On my way back down to the truck, I took one final shot looking back up the canyon toward where I had been DSCF2082 .
Another one from my "Back Country Series" that I have applied a slight sepia tone and black and white. Thanks for looking. LETS_RIDE
It has been a long week! Here are three shots I forgot
A couple of night time pictures of one of my favorite restaurants in Steven's Point, WI. Every time I get up North I stop there to eat. The front of the restaurant is a old sleeper car. They have photos on the walls in which there is one that I really like. A photographer was able to capture a grasshopper in flight that was tack sharp and nice composition.

thank you for your comments to the pictures I posted yesterday "fall in AZ". I do not have any kids or grandkids living near me they are across the country. Was trying to snap a picture of hubby unwares and he wouldn't move from the leaves in front of him. So here is my picture of my favorite subject in the fall leaves. I don't know about how you feel about this picture but I love it. hualapai_10_7_08_134

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair
Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair
And now i'm walking in the park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
Oh i'm never really ready, yeah, oh, i'm never really ready
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
The weather has been lousy and I have felt lousy. Been running a low grade fever for about 5 days so haven't been out with the camera lately. Feeling a little better today.
Soooo I'd thought I'd throw in a few OLD images from way back. They were scanned from 5x7 prints.
The Flower in Vase was shot behind a piece of textured glass (shower glass). Done the old way.
Thanks for looking!
