In search of light …

Light is key.

I was photographing around Lake Powell in the Glen Canyon National Recreational area in December 2012.  This image was made one evening.  The light was not spectacular.

I came back the next morning and this is what I was able to make.

Light matters.

We still find fall colors in San Jose, CA.  Just last week, I found this Aspen tree in a grocery store parking lot and made this shot.  Tomorrow, I am headed to the Lake Tahoe area for skiing.  Hope to find a totally different kind of scenery there.  Will post images from that trip soon.

In sharp contrast to my previous post (on black and white), this is an image that cannot be effective in black and white.
