New Snow in South St. Vrain Canyon. February 2017.

Welcome to my photo site!  I have been sending out photos in E-Mails, but this is getting cumbersome and hard to do.  So, I’m taking a step into the 21st century and moving my photography to the web.

I like to take both photos that are complex with many places for the eye too roam.  This photo is a good example of what I like.  The trees, the water and the rocks are all important to the photograph, but the simplicity of the snow ties them together and in an important way, simplifies the photo.  Without the snow, this photo would be very busy and almost too complex to view.

Next, we have an example of a much simpler composition, but a photo that still has many elements to it.  The photo is simple because it’s got such a strong pattern, but there are many different sagebrush that make up the pattern.  The horizon is quite small, mainly there to show a sense of distance or scale.  If you look carefully at the horizon, you will see tanks an equipment from a natural gas processing plant just under the horizon.  Such is the hazard of photographing in Wyoming.

Next time we’ll talk about photographing in adverse conditions.
