Heceta Head Trail, Hobbit Trail, Beach near Washburne State Park

As the day was coming to a close after visiting Heceta Head Lighthouse. We headed back along the trail towards the Hobbit Trail To be at the beach to watch the son set. As we were heading back I had decided to not take any more photos until we got to the beach. There was one scene that we walked across that I knew was one of those shots that you just had to take. The sun was shining through the trees horizontally and had an appearance of a lighthouse light. It was so beautiful! It was amazing! I looked at my wife and I must have done it with a piteous look. I had said that I would not take any more photos till we got to the beach. When I looked at her she said, "Take a picture." It was not granting me permission but rather a command. We both knew that what we were seeing was not easily replicated It was just one of those things you have to be in the right place at the right time.

Because of the delay we missed the sun setting while we were at the beach but we both thought it was worth it. Instead of going down the Hobbit Trail we went to the beach entrance at Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park. We enjoyed the beach as well and I got some lovely dusk photos. Some of the photos has a longer exposure so it made the waves nice and smooth. It was a great day for photos. It was a relaxing enjoyable day. Superb!

Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

13 months ago I took some photos of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple in Daybreak, South Jordan, Utah. Here is a ten photo panorama from that occasion. It really is a lovely temple. It encouraging to see a bit of light standing out among darkness. There are the lights of the city be you better see that those lights are dim when you see a temple all lit up. I'm sure a host of analogies could be made. It must be admitted that the buildings are beautiful. They truly are.

Here are a few photos from my third roll of Black and White film. This first one of the star trails and the tree is my first darkroom edit. It is actually two photos combined to make one. I left the boarder of one one to be able to see that they were two. However, there are other signs that it was two photos to begin with.
The second image is a play with light shadows and reflected light.
Once again they are both film and then I printed them in the darkroom. I then scanned the prints.

A Sun Shadow or a Shadow of Light.

August - 14 - 2010

Ok with this day I had to put two on because they are in two different states. (hint in the US)
The first is from a historical place just off of I-90 East of Cleavland, OH.
The Second is a place that should be easy to guess.
