Joy in the shadow of a mountain.

 

Enjoy life,

A piece I worked couple of months ago. thanks for comments & suggestions,

My interpretation of this famous fall.

I used to like waterfalls, Then, for a long time, I've been somewhatneutral to their presence in the landscape. After billion shots,everything becomes boring, gray and muddy. Luckily, there are stillfew places with less then billion shots.

Enjoy life,

Photography is a grand thief of heart, soul, time and money. I still think she loves me too. Enough daydreaming.

 

I used to daydream, then discovered photography. Now, I'm not sure

which one is worse.

One is childish, the other one is great thief. Many times, I feel

childish and robbed. Only rarely, I feel I got something of value.

This is for Blackfoot's Great Chief Mountain.

 

Enjoy life,

A glacial lake after glaciers are long gone. Their spirits are still

on watch.

Everything seen here in "real" shadow, so there is nothing fancy is done to enhance it. Obviously the sky was exposed separately to bring in the detail. Standard 0.6 or 0.9GND filter would have done the job as well.

I find narrow canyons difficult to work. Partly because of very

limited viewpoints, also because difficult light conditions. I was

twice at this location, this is the best view I could find. not sure

I'll have another chance anytime soon. I hope that tree survives the

savage winter of the land.

 

Enjoy life.

Seastacks of northern pacific coast have been always very inviting to

landscape photographers. As always elements could make the experience

very good or very bad. 10 years ago when I was here, it was magical,

low-tide and beautiful whether. This year, it was complete opposite,

stormy with very high tides. The beaches were literally disappeared

into the ocean. Yet, I was happy to see this extreme of the beauty as

well. It was part of the show that I knew existed, but hadn't seen.

This image, taken under rain, with little daylight, betrays the

reality. But photographs almost always do.

Frustration and disappointments are quite normal during a landscape or

nature trip. (Think what I can do, if I could command the sun and the

clouds alone...) yet, forces of nature don't always fail the

photographer. In one of those trips recently, for a whole week, almost

every plan I made was failing, then unintentionally, unknowingly, I

stumbled into this tiny valley. It made my day. I'd say, keep your

eyes and mind open, hope modestly.

enjoy life.

Tony,

I'm happy that i have followers who love or passionately hate my work.

It keeps me grounded and humble. Reputation is overrated. I'd rather have my work pleasantly discovered by few, rather than silently discarded by many.

 

cheers,

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for all comments and encouraging words.

I tried but could not succeed in imagining the view from this spot 50

or 100years ago. It is still very beautiful today, but compared to

what has been, I have little doubt that this may be quite ordinary

scene. Only pitiful remnants of glaciers hanging perilously near

northern faces of peaks. Soon, there will be nothing but snow packs,

nothing else. The great sculptor has left the valley here.

My take on this famous scene.

The 50th piece in the series. I hear some say "stop, it was enough

already..".

 

enjoy,

The depth of the canyon is hard to see or interpret from this image. This is both good and bad.

I hope some have enough patience to analyze the image.

 

cheers,

My humble "take" on this legendary fall in Yellowstone.

Bob,

I have two parallel collections: EMajor and E Minor.

Here Minor and Major refer to light/dark color theme of the compositions. Minors have white or lightcolor dominated compositions.E refers to the aspect ratio. E, similar to pi, is one of the most important mathematical numbers we ever use.

Cheers,
