and yet another from last weekend's trip to Loreto. The evening sun falls fast behind the mountains to the west, but the sunset glow permeates the Gulf and the islands for quite a while. A long exposure seemed the best way to capture it.

I seem to be fixated on messy photos of bare trees this week. 8s exposure on a cloudy night.

winter river

I'm new to the forums and I'm finding them very interesting. Here is a photo I took a couple of years ago that I particularly like. I hope you enjoy.

Seems like I recognize that place... even some of the boats... ;) Post more, if you have any. I'm always keen to see someone else's interpretation of a familiar place (at least to me...)

Here's one more. Having grown up there, I'm quite familiar with the place as well. I should see it as a challenge but the familiarity makes it a difficult place for me to photograph.

I like the black and white, it works well with the reflections. I know what you mean about the familiarity making it hard to tackle the subject matter, since I live about 20 miles north of Newport. Sometimes I have to just challenge myself to try to see it with a fresh eye, since it's a bit hard to travel at the moment due to current obligations beyond my control...
Ironically, I was just looking at your food shots on FB before I visited this page, didn't make the connection that you were the same person until I noticed your watermark here. Nice. They made me hungry. :)

thats really, really good.. the black and white really suits it and the reflection in the water looks great too! beautiful image man :)

mine for today.. a bit of 'no real subject' photo, but i like the lines of the photo.. the fence & stairs leading up :)

Auroras in the interior of Alaska last night (03/09/2011).
Tikina 10-16mm f/2.8 wide open, 400 ISO, 15-second exposure. The purplish cast is caused by moon and other lights.

Here's my addition today - a fisherman on Pound Lake in Virginia. Something about the fog coming off the lake but seeing his cast worked great for me that morning - 5 minutes later and I would have missed it...

Comments welcome...
