The majestic Mount Hood of Oregon towers above the serene Trillium Lake, which perfectly mirrors the surrounding evergreen forest, clear sky, along with the mountain.
A wooden pier extends over the calm water, where small groups are gathered to take in the breathtaking landscape or fishing.

Last night, I attended a night photography workshop in Utrecht. It was drizzling, so there was a lot of lens cleaning to do (not enough 🫣). But it was fun to go out with a group of photographers.

So, I will bright up your timeline with some dark pictures. 😊

Shadow Selfie III

#Selfie #ShadowSelfie #Photography

A person's shadow cast upon a wooden surface. The tree trunk displays prominent vertical grains, cracks, and knots, indicating its natural or aged state. The color of the wood is a warm, earthy reddish-brown tone. Dominating the center of the frame is the dark, silhouetted shadow of a person, seen from the chest up. The shadow shows the distinct outline of a head, shoulders, and a portion of the upper torso. The details within the shadow are obscured by its darkness, but the texture of the wood beneath it is still visible, giving the shadow a textured appearance rather than a flat black.

The Earliest Successful Attempts at Photography Just Turned 200 Years Old

While the oldest surviving photograph is from either 1826 or 1827, French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce's earliest successful attempts took place in 1824.

A colour photo of a beach with shallow waves. The sky is cloudy but with large patches of cyan sky. On the other side of the water a jagged mountain of brown rock is visible, a cap of cloud at the top and the sunlight touching the foot.

One of the things I love about fresh snow is how it instantly turns the whole world monochrome, leaving just the occasional pop of color behind. It’s almost as if the snowfall wipes the color out of everything it touches.

In this scene, it feels like a black-and-white photo except for the taillights — as if the cars started out in full color, but the snow drained it away, leaving only those last little sparks of red.

A snowy street lined with trees, their branches heavily coated in snow. Two vehicles can be seen driving on the road, surrounded by a serene winter landscape.

I shot a lighted boat parade in Monterey, CA last weekend.

#photography #christmas #parade #boats

A sailboat adorned all around with white Christmas lights floats down through a dark harbor with a line of other lighted boats trailing it. On the sailboat are around a dozen people with several of them holding up umbrella like objects strung with multi-colored Christmas lights arranged to look like jellyfish.

Last Sunday in a local park. Autumn has been glorious this year.

#Photography #Nature #Trees #Japan

Russet and mustard leaves cascade over the branches of a single Japanese maple tree. Its trunk is obscured by a bank of foliage which look like bamboo but aren’t. The trunks of two tall trees stand like sentries either side of the maple. Sunlight spotlights the maple boughs and coniferous trees hem in the whole scene to the rear.

We just took a little overnight trip through the spectacular colors of Autumn here in New Mexico a couple of days ago. Here is a tiny taste of what I will share ahead although not taken in NM, rather Utah for the taste. The most beautiful Fall colors I thinik I have ever seen here in NM.

The image captures a serene autumn scene along a forest path lined with tall aspen trees. The trees are dressed in golden-yellow leaves, creating a canopy that fills the sky with brilliant color. The forest floor and the path are covered with fallen leaves, forming a golden carpet that adds texture to the ground. The bark of the aspen trees is pale with dark markings, giving each trunk a unique, almost textured appearance. The sky peeks through the trees in shades of blue, contrasting with the vibrant yellows. The scene feels tranquil and warm, evoking the quiet beauty of a sun-drenched autumn afternoon in nature. The path seems inviting, as if leading deeper into the colorful grove.

At Horseshoe Bend, the Colorado River curves around a towering sandstone butte, its emerald waters contrasting with the sunlit red cliffs. The late afternoon light and steep canyon walls emphasize the power and beauty of this dramatic landscape.

At Horseshoe Bend, you would feel the vastness of the landscape through the immense drop-off of the cliff. The sandstone butte stands tall in the middle, its surface rough and warm from the sun. The air is filled with a quiet stillness, broken only by the faint sound of the river below, curving smoothly in a wide arc around the rock formation. The canyon walls are steep and rugged, with the sensation of space opening up all around you, as if the land stretches endlessly in every direction. The warmth of the sun contrasts with the coolness of the shaded areas along the bend.

#doorsday - A Door to the Past

#PletzfeldMomentsInTime #photography #darktable #mywork #myphoto

You are standing outdoors on a sunny day in a rural, grassy farmyard. In the center of the image is a small, old-fashioned wooden outhouse or privy, built right against the side of a larger dark wooden barn or stable. The outhouse is made of weathered, silvery-gray planks with visible wood grain and knots. It has a simple slanted roof covered in light brown wooden shingles. A round ventilation hole is cut into the upper front wall. The door, made of the same wood but with a big diagonal “Z” brace, is wide open and swings outward to the right, revealing the interior. Inside the outhouse you can clearly see a raised wooden platform with a simple toilet seat on top. The seat has a curved wooden handle attached to the lid, making it easy to lift. Two small wooden steps lead up to the seat. The inside walls are also raw, aged wood, slightly darker and richer in tone than the outside.To the right, the big barn wall is much darker — almost chocolate brown — with heavy timber framing and criss-cross bracing visible. On the left side of the outhouse, green grass and weeds grow right up to the base, and in the background you see a sunny green meadow, a wooden fence, and leafy trees under a clear, pale blue sky. The whole scene feels peaceful, rustic, and historic — like a well-preserved piece of 19th-century farm life. The lighting is bright natural daylight, casting soft shadows under the roof overhang and on the gravel ground in front of the outhouse.

#Photography #Monotone #Rain #Japan

Square format. Wet tarmac and a small puddle catch the reflection of a telegraph pole and attendant wires. The pole enters the frame from the top edge and extends through the centre. Wires project at 3, 7 and 10 o'clock but their clarity breaks up as they pass through slightly less saturated areas. Although a color shot, the scene is monotone due to overcast skies above. A single raindrop has hit the puddle and small ripples echo.
