bright clouds at sunrise
In the sky last week: a bright wave above the treetops.
I loved the tiny, thin line of cloud stretched out beside lions head. Named it, “lions breath”.
I can’t get away from the moon.
I’ve got the moon in my head. I listened to an old song with a line about the moon and the line played over and again in my mind for a week. Cured the condition by listening to lots of other music, but am being careful with that song from now on. Won’t even type the title.
A New Page
My new portfolio page was created with Picturesurf Gallery. I filled gallery with images I’ve been printing on fine art paper. Not all the images that I print appear in the gallery at this time, but many of the popular and/or recent ones are there.
Lions Head
Each day it’s a new view.
Today I took my dog out to get a different morning view of Lions Head. But the aspens I was hoping to capture were still green and it was windy and the dog just wanted to go for a walk. Why do we always have to stop and photograph, he must wonder.
The image below shows this morning’s view from lions foot in the creek valley.
Lion’s Sunrise
I like to capture images of Lions Head when the first rays of morning sunlight are striking its top and clouds in the west are lit with early colorful light.
The challenge with this scene is losing the trees in the foreground to deep shadows. The light reaches Lions Head a long time before it illuminates the trees. The range from highlights to shadows make this image a good choice for multiple exposure composites.
The 9,000+ ft. Lions Head is part of the forbidden park, closed to the public while in the planning stages. I wait impatiently for its opening. When that happens I may have to start a blog just for park photos.
