You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension.

 

Many thanks to participants in the challenge last week (and, of course, to the rest of you, too)--I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the visions your imaginations produced!

 

For this week, I dug up a strange one from last year. This is what the reflection of the rising sun looks like through a haze of wildfire smoke. The smoke was thick enough that the change in light level as the sun came up was hardly noticeable, and the color was unworldly.

Sunset, Desolation Sound, British Columbia, last July. Wildfire smoke was building, and the next morning the small nearby islands were no longer visible from our camp. We were on a sea kayaking trip and decided to paddle out before the air quality became even worse.

This landscape reminded me of a less hectic time before the internet. Maybe not a better time in every way, but different.

 

This is only about 1/3 of the original picture, but sometimes it takes really hard cropping to bring out what I felt at that time at that place. Less is more.
