Touching Light Photography

Nice lines in this one - with the foreground sand dunes and the mountains in the background. Nice comp.

Oh c'mon, I see a little yellow there! Then again, maybe that is my cataract vision. ;-)

This is a really cool photo! I love the foggy foreground and that tree - great "environmental shot"! It almost looks black and white!

This photo actually caught my eye when I wasn't even looking directly at it! The simplicity and the composition made me jump to it, and only then did I realize it was a photo of a dune. Nice photo and comp by David!

Texas will have two terrific candidates for Texas Senator now! Crockett and Talarico have far greater intelligence than Trump or members of his family and his enablers.

Godspeed Rep. Jasmine Crockett! And James Talarico!

Electric cars are fantastic. My first is a Hyundai Ioniq 6. Almost always beats the range estimate of 316 miles (US). The main thing holding back adoption in the US aside from idiotic politicians, is the insufficient charging infrastructure in rural areas, and in apartment buildings.

Trump, and Trump Jr. and Eric Trump will never be the man that Tim Walz is, and his wife Melania and daughter Ivanka will never be the women that Hope or her mom Gwen are. Frankly, they will never be the compassionate, caring, emotional person that Gus is either.

Very moody! Nicelycomposed, and beautiful reflection and light.

I love their music! Wonderful!

LOL! So true, the best shots are often unplanned. A brief glimpse as one is driving, jump out of the car, dash to catch the moment!

Spectacular! Congrats on getting the moose in the frame along with the setting sun!

Perfect lighting!

What can I say, but WOW! This really pops! What a wonderful photo, Patty!

Excellent!

Does anything he does, work?

The Three Gossips? Nice light and photo.

Thank you, Gary!

600 f/4 + 2x extender to get that focal length. Many of my shots are more easily handheld with a 400 f/4 with or without a 1.4x or 2x extender. Tough to handhold the 600 for any length of time anymore!

Thank you Gary!

This must have been an incredible sight to see, after having seen it dry so many times! Beautifully photographed.

The light was not pretty today in the Skagit flats of WA state, but I was out for a while. Here are two photos of Red-Tailed Hawks. In the left photo, there is a mouse in the hawk's left talon. On the right, the hawk was standing on one leg on a post a long way out (1200mm focal length).

Thank you, Dan!

And from the linked article:

"But government agencies won’t act on this unless they hear from you.

You can help. Send a letter to Fisheries and Oceans Canada by October 31 urging them to establish a whale-safe window for both endangered Chinook and endangered killer whales."

Thanks for posting.

Moody!

An old barn in the Skagit flatlands of Washington state.

After the print is laminated to the acrylic, a black backer is laminated to the back of the print. After mounting, I polish the edges to 7000 grit, then a wood frame is mounted to the back, and the framing wire added for hanging. Takes a lot of time! The results are worth it though!

These large format acrylic prints are a lot of work. This print is 22" x 40" and is mounted on 1/4" acrylic. The print is first made on a metallic paper substrate, then an optically clear adhesive is bonded to the face of the print, then the print is bonded to the acrylic 1/2

I will be at a local protest rally this morning/afternoon...

I traveled up to the Skagit flats in WA this afternoon. Too early for the snow geese and the swans, and fall colors haven't really kicked in yet, but it was a beautiful day! (Mt. Baker is the snow covered peak in the photo on the right.
