Outdoor Love

The world is so full of beauty!

top photo was taken with the Lensbaby Spark, a recent purchase, and the bottom with Canon 17-55. The endless variations in nature's art keep me happily ever enthralled.

Send Back the Clouds, Photo Landscape

Yay! The great clouds came back on Friday and I found some shooting time. This one is looking east over the Sacramento River from Riverview Drive in Lake California.

Skyscape in Lake California

Smoke is good for adding some atmosphere to a sunrise landscape photo with clouds. I got up early ;^) and enjoyed the morning.

Sunset in orange and purple

Taken from the N campground trail. I used to call this Cottonwood Creek, but I believe it is a part of the Sacto River which splits and rejoins itself.

Cloud rainbow

Now and then we have these circular rainbows in the clouds; my sis hollered @ me to come out and get a photo. Also see the cotton bits floating here and there.

Clouds in Red Bluff

I love clouds, and taking photos of them, too.

Rain in the hills around Lake California

Yes, I love the dimensional feeling you can get when adding vignetting; tho I have learned in photography class that this is a fault of shadow from the lens hood or similar. As an effect to bring the center forward it works well from an artistic standpoint imho. This photo is of a recent stormy day here in Lake California; I was shooting from the east side of the air strip.

Clouds in Lake California

I love to see those wonderful big puffy clouds; this scene was shot near the airstrip in Lake California where big sky views are possible. The Canon t3i is quite enjoyable to use!
