Autumn Highlights the Afternoon

Analogous Colors of Fall

An autumn afternoon when the sun's rays begin to shorten is so inviting to take a stroll  with the camera. Analogous colors of orange, yellow-orange and yellow produce a most aesthetic feeling especially when being accented by the sunlight against a clear blue sky.

Just the right camera angle catches draping branches with delicate leaves, glowing against the dark background.

Going down to ground level, a dandelion peeks out from a canopy of fallen leaves.

As I walk past my red truck, my eye catches a single leaf reflecting on the shiny surface.  Moving the camera slightly to the side, the leaves over-head create accents of pleasing color, analogous colors that are closely related and next to each other on the color wheel.

Great news,  "November Montmartre", an exhibition of photographers from around the world has been extended through December 13th.  For mor information, please follow the link:

What an exciting and interesting photo-adventure this day has been.  I love it when I am drawn to an area and not knowing what to expect I get treated to new experiences.

Photography places me in the moment where I can share that moment in time. It becomes a life story as represented by my interaction with the scene. The happiness and beauty or the sorrow and strife; how I focus leaves a lasting impression that might touch the viewer on a spiritual level.

"November  Montmarte" 

 Quand l'Automne, abrégeant les jours qu'elle dévore,
Éteint leurs soirs de flamme et glace leur aurore,
Quand Novembre de brume inonde le ciel bleu,
Que le bois tourbillonne et qu'il neige des feuilles,
Ô ma muse ! en mon âme alors tu te recueilles,
Comme un enfant transi qui s'approche du feu....

When autumn, shortening the days she devours, 

off their evening of flame and ice their Aurora, 

when November's fog floods the blue sky,

 wood swirls and snowing leaves,

 O my muse! in my soul then you you collected,

 like a bashful child approaching fire...

Chasing the Sunrise

 Morning Walk

There is something so peaceful and inspiring about getting up early and watching the earth come alive from the night's slumber.  I guess in a way it has become an obsession because I never tire of watching the sun come over the Gillis Mountains on the east side of Walker Lake. 

When there are interesting clouds, I grab my camera and tripod to rush out with coffee in hand for an early morning walk.  If I time it just right, sometimes I catch the transition just as dawn rolls back the curtain of night.  It is a wonderful feeling, almost like witnessing the earth's creation.

As dawn begins to light the eastern sky, the stars are still visible over the silhouetted tall elm trees.

 

Silence fills the earth as the early rays of sun begin to warm the still lake; the first inland gull begins its morning quest.

The sun ascends; a star-studded sky is now an artist's pallet of color.

A lone owl watches and waits for an early morning snack.

Standing quietly on the bank's edge, the camera catches a falcon flying overhead.

Mr. Robin warms overhead as the sunlight breaks through a dense layer of cloud.

A flock of inland gulls scurry with wings warmed by the morning sun.

A contrail appears to shoot from the sunlight blushed moon as it descends, giving way to the start of a new day.
