Time & light

Time & light

Going through my photos from our stop at The Lagoons, I saw how much the light changed in just 30 minutes. While I’m shooting, I’m so focused on the compositions in front of me that I don’t really notice the change. It’s only when I review the photos later, without the time pressure, that I can appreciate the difference a few minutes can make.

Last one out, make sure to lock up

Still a little more left, just reach
Setting sun behind a row of trees that have a pond in front of them. The near shore is in the foreground with one plant that is green enough to stand out in the closing light of the day.

Great day for great light
Tall tree standing at the left of the frame along the side of a pond in the closing light of the day. Sunset sky and dark forest surround with just enough light for the tree to be the only one that shows some green in the closing light.

Riding into someplace…
Bike path with a yellow lane stripe next to a road at the end of the day. Curving from the bottom to the right with trees alongside it and the sunset clouds curving to match the flow of the path.

Little red fella, between big green brothers.
Two trees standing in the foreground with a lake in the background and a sunset sky of yellow, orange and purple. There is one small tree between them and is the only one with red leaves that are visible in the last light of the day.

Lights in the doorway
Landscape shot of a field in the foreground and a line of trees on the horizon. One tree, without leaves is taller than the rest silhouetted against the sunset clouds in the sky. Just along the horizon line there is an opening in the trees that shows the headlight of a car on a winding road towards the viewer.
