Photographic meanderings

Not your standard shot of Horsetail Falls. Cold and rainy, and the Little Red Tent was put up wet.

Last night was a bust for Horsetail Falls. I held out hope, though pitching the Little Red Tent before the rain started. Good thing I did, it poured buckets. Today is Ansel Adams birthday! I thought I’d try my hand at some split toning; I’m not sure of the results, but I think I’ll try more in the future.

Lovely light once again on Horsetail Falls tonight.

This is the sort of image most folks want to see when they come for the “natural firefalls” in February each year. Note that the wall is in shadow on both sides of the water, and the water itself is glowing with the last light.

Over the next few days I’ll be trying out some new WordPress themes. Today’s choice is “Suffusions”. Let me know if anything is wonky!

Once again, it faded just at the very last. I’m holding hope for tomorrow night. I’ll probably be on Southside Drive.

In the small ghost town of Rhyolite, NV is the Goldwell Open Air Museum. It is free and open to the public with such famous installations as “The Last Supper” and “Ghost Rider” by A. Szukalsi. This installation, however, is by the one and only woman artist represented there. Oddly enough, there are two works of art representing the female form!

Shortly after this image was taken, the light and color began to fade. I suspect there were low clouds to the west obscuring the best light.

Stunning light on the falls last night. Highs today will be in the mid 60s, and it looks like a full sunny day. That mean more water coming over the lip of the falls! Tonight I’ll be on Southside drive for the sunset.
