Dawn

This is it: the long weekend’s a thing of the past; we’re heading home.   I can’t wait to share more stories from my travels and the moments that caught my eye.

Fires have been raging all weekend. I can’t see the flames as they’re on the other side of a mountain range, but the northwester is blowing, and the smoke clouds our skies.   It’s time for rain again.

As we hurtle along at 120km per hour, I stretch to the very back of our Cruiser to grab my camera; the skies are too good to miss.

Another drive-by shot, this time without stopping, highlights the challenge of shooting in low light with the old Cruiser's shake and the headlights as the only light source. Despite that, I like the effect, adding a little adventure and sublime colours to the scene.

These are today’s offerings.   I won't be doing sunsets or sunrises again for a while unless there’s a spectacular sky.

“The negative is the equivalent of the composer's score and the print of the performance,” by Ansel Adams, reminds us how foundational the negative is to the final image, inspiring us to value the process behind each shot.

“I began to realize that the camera sees the world differently from the human eye and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed” - Galen Rowell.
