The fire stretches across the sky as the sun rest behind the horizon
The last light spews organs of the earth in bloody hues
A city divided with intent of survival and opulence
The later requiring the people remain in constant need
A virga rain supplicating the thirsty
Yesterday a new camera, Canon EOS 2000D (T7), arrived to replace the one lost. I’m really happy with the results working with about twice the pixels of the 1300D (T6).
The Oleander shots required some work to bring out the whites and soft tones. Surprising the noise at 400 ISO is subtle and hardly noticeable in the jpegs.
The cover photo was the first sunrise and this is the first sunset captured. Looking forward to many more.
This was a cute moment momma walking behind her duckling to keep it safe.
Finally had to get one of Boots. He’s a new friend. Can’t say as much for Harper quite yet. She more bothered than he is. Boots gives her a slow eye kiss and a rough crackling meow.
The other day I finally consolidated back-ups and found some files that I wanted to rework. Talk about satisfaction, and a little trip down memory lane. I’m still looking through the hundreds to see what can be turned from a blurry mess into something special.
A little love of the process in Photoshop brought this photo of the Phoenix Skyline together. The goal at the time was to create a frame from flowering creosote. The intense sunlight and natural contrast proved difficult. What I saw in this was a beautiful mirage in the distance with a flowering creosote bush right in the foreground.
The aptly named Fairy Duster. This wasn’t the best shot to begin with, but with Adobe Photoshop’s Shake Reduction it recovered fairy well. 😉
I had a couple ask me where to find all the wildflowers before taking these. The best way is to get out of your car and walk a trail. These photos make the flower appear larger than they actually are. So to see them you have to see a hint of purple, yellow, blues among the desert brush hiding them from the road.
My favorite Lost & Found is officially this image of the Milky Way Core. The color is like being inside a kaleidoscope in the middle of the high desert mountains.
