For those who might be new to my blog, I am based in the Columbia Basin of Washington state. I love using natural light to capture agriculture, flowers, and the world around me. I also do portrait and pet photography, as the occasion arises.

Sailor take warning

October 31, 2008

I stepped out onto my deck yesterday morning, intending to play catch with my boys (Buddy and Buster, my pooches), and got caught up in the morning sunrise.  I immediately thought about a photography challenge – click here – to capture a “Silhouette / Shadow”.  I turned around and went back inside for my camera and snapped a few frames – I would have done that without the challenge, but it was extra incentive.  I rather like this one, with the home and trees in silhouette.  And, yes, the boys and I played catch.

Note to Mom:  I hope this makes you happy.  No leaves.  See?  I do mind.  Okay, I guess there are leaves, but they aren’t macro shots like I’ve been posting.

    amazing sunrise. I wanted this type of sky for the wedding I shot.

    It’s a glorious photo, Challenges are good in that way as the make you take a photo of something that you may not have bothered about and the results speak for themselves. You never lose anything by joining in and playing along.
