Photo of the Day - Peaceful Abandonedment

Green but Empty

I am willing to bet that if you are looking at this photo, you are probably thinking that this is in a secluded place somewhere in the countryside and your probably wondering why somebody would leave such a beautiful place and go somewhere else. If that is the feeling you got then I have succeeded as this is the reason why I chose this particular composition.

In actuality, this is near a very busy street and only a few miles away from downtown. You would not know it by looking at this photo which is one of the reasons why I think composition is so important in photography. On the other hand, if the composition of a photograph is weak, then the photo as whole will be weak. Good composition is the base of a good photograph.

I think Ansel Adams said it best - "There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept"

Photo of the Day - Sunset on the Cherry Creek Trail

Didn't even get to see the sun today...

It's been raining here in Parker for the last two days now and its expected to clear up by Friday afternoon which is a good thing since It will at least give me the opportunity to possibly catch a sunset shot before my wife heads out on her weekend trip. As much as I love the warmth that late spring and summer provide, this cold and wet weather has brought fall, at least to me, a reality. Since it's pretty dreary outside, I think a warm feeling photo is in order

I always find something interesting to photograph here and in this particular case, the setting sun along with the warm tones really lends itself to another peaceful evening on the trail.

Photo of the Day - Sunrise at Slemmer Barn

Waking up early has it's benefits..

With a full time job, photography, and a 2 year old running around the house, I don't get as much sleep as I should but after shooting this wonderful sunrise at Slemmer Barn, I think I need to shoot more sunrises. To me, the light seems just a bit different in the mornings and coupled with the fact that the days are getting shorter, I am less likely to capture sunsets given my current work schedule and family life. For the fall and winter months, expect to see more sunrise photos. Hope you all enjoy!
