As a photographer, I’ve often written about the need for patience and perseverance, and this photo required both. With my camera on a tripod and zoomed in on this eagle I waited for it to open its wings and take flight but ...I waited, and waited..... and waited! Finally, I gave up but not before noticing this much bigger composition. I love the soft colors of this photo, and how the branches are highlighted (which lead your eyes to the eagle). Although this image may not resonate with everyone, that’s the reality of “art”; it's in the eye of the viewer. That said, it’s my artistic vision that excitedly leads my way 🙂 I named this photo “A Perspective Eye” because the eagle was busily hunting for its next meal. My "Perspective Eye" noticed this larger composition, and your own "Perspective Eye" either loves this type of photography, or not :-)
*Photographer's Note: This photo is comprised of three individual photos and is a large file. This image can be blown up to a very large size. Cadomin is a hamlet in the west-central area of Alberta. It's quaintly nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and is approximately 50 kilometers south of Hinton, and just east of Jasper National Park. This operating coal mine community was once home to over 1000 people but now is home to only 55. I was SO excited to be back in the Rockies and I felt very fortunate that I arrived on such a BEAUTIFUL day. That said, to say I was “excited” was an understatement! I was invigorated by the mountain air, the beauty that surrounded me and the freedom my RV lifestyle. I arrived in Cadomin just as the morning sun crested and filled the valley floor. The golden light on this pond was astonishing, and I knew it would be short lived so I had to hustle to capture it! I love the dominating fall colors in this photo but what I love the most are the lead in lines and how your eyes follow the shoreline, and then settles in the vivid reflection of the pond (called “the settling point”). At day’s end I reflected upon the day; with my happy energy radiating, many wonderful things came my way. A change in one’s attitude, is golden. So, I named this photograph, "A Golden Life" (attitude is golden). 🙂
I am at the Grand Canyon! I had the pleasure of visiting the canyon last winter too however I lost all (yes ALL), of my photos when my hard-drive crashed; a valuable lesson... use more than one hard drive! Now that the days are getting shorter and the cold weather is keeping you inside, I'll post photos more often and "report in", for those whom are following my travels :-) I often come across a scene that just takes my breath away, and I ask myself "Does anyone else see what I see?". I guess that's why I enjoy sharing my photos with you so much, in hopes that they'll take your breath away too. I cycled the south rim and got a few fantastic shots, what fun! I had such a grand time at the Grand Canyon. that I named this photo "A Grand Life".
