claudiatammen > August 11: Soft sunset in OC It was WARM standing in this field, and I didn't realize that I was also standing in a trail of red ants until I got bit - ouch! A photographer needs to be aware of his/her surroundings. I am also getting brave and trying out simple frame techniques. Anyone know of any plug-ins with good frames? Also, thanks for your responses to my last post of Saddleback Mtn.
claudiatammen > August 8: Moon over Saddleback Mountain "Santiago is the highpoint of Orange County in Southern California. It lies along the crest of the Santa Ana Mountains, a coastal chain located southeast of the greater Los Angeles area. It is often referred to as Saddleback which refers to the skyline profile formed between it and nearby Modjeska Peak. The Holy Jim Trail is probably the most scenic route to the top. The terrain is mostly chaparral, typical of the southern California mountain landscape, with stands of oaks and sycamores found in the deeper canyons with seasonal water flow. The top of the peak is crowned with one of the densest arrays of telecommunications equipment found anywhere in the state - there is no single location for sweeping 360 views. By walking around the various installations in about a quarter mile radius, one can see views in all directions covering five counties and a large portion of the southern California area - from Catalina and San Clemente Islands out in the Pacific Ocean, south to Mt. Palomar, east to San Jacinto Peak and the desert environ, north to the San Bernadino Mountains and San Gorgonio, and of course the ever-popular hundreds upon hundreds of square miles of urban sprawl all around." A bit of So. Cal. geography. I was out the other night on my monthly moon shoot, but came away with not many shots I liked. This landscape shot shows the recognizable "saddleback" shape in the center area of the farthest mountains. I also played around with highlights and shadows in CS4 and liked this look - almost like an old postcard.
claudiatammen > Shining Stone: The Espanola Valley was part of the Piedra Lumbre Spanish land grant. Piedra Lumbre means Valley of the Shining Stone.
claudiatammen > Chimney Rock Sunset This image was made at a higher point on the Ranch, where we could watch the sun set. Chimney Rock makes a nice silhouette in the foreground (same evening as the pink rain).
claudiatammen > July 24: Chimney Rock sunset I've been in Abiquiu, New Mexico at one of my favorite places to photograph, Ghost Ranch. This image was taken in the late evening when we experienced a phenomenon called "pink rain". The whole sky turned pink. The rain evaporates before it hits the ground, but catches the sun's last rays and turns the whole sky shades of pink. These colors are just a bit saturated. It really looks like this! These last few weeks I haven't participated in Daily Photos, but as I have many, many to work on from my trip, I will try to post something each day. it's good to be back.
