Water and fall trees, always beautiful, thank you for sharing!

I spent some time rummaging around my hard-drive this afternoon,trying to find "local" photos of water (as in North Carolina) that I'm happy to show. No such luck, the best NC water image that I have is a retention pond off of I-95, that won't do. So please excuse photos from various travels over the years. Cheating.... it's easy to make a good photo in a photogenic location. I do want to point out that the common theme in these images - besides water - is that when I captured them, I was really drawn to the light I saw. I was photographing light, not a scene itself. I'm pretty sure that I took all of these at the "Golden Hour," either dawn or sunset/late afternoon. Click on these to see full size:

The first one was definitely taken a oh-dark-hundred and a few minute, in Angra dos Reis, Brazil. It was an amazing morning, I was visiting a friend who owned the schooner in this photo (we went sailing all day) and had a house built out over the water. I got up before dawn to shoot from the balcony and it was magical - the light changed from blue to red to pink to yellow to sunlight all in the space of 5 minutes, like slow-motion fireworks. The second photo was also in the first light of dawn, and the third was in the very last ray of sunset as it went down over the hills. My point being that there's excitement right there - chasing the golden hour. I love to get up before dawn and go for a walk, it's an entirely different world than even an hour later. The sun coming up changes everything, minute by minute. The oh-too-familiar is new again. Photo inspiration is right in front of you. I have some very goofy series, like the stop sign on my street, taken each day at 6AMish.. different light each day. That same trip to Maine, I took a photo of a house overlooking the harbor every day - rain, sun, fog - constantly changing, constantly the same. And yes, I found inspiration.. not the house I kept obsessively shooting, but the boats at the dock. Each day I understood the light a bit better, could see it swirling thru the town as the sun rose and set. I found the scene in the second shot by following the light - and all that red!

By the way the rest of the Angra morning photos are here, my old flickr account:

Anyway, hoping you find your "muse" again. I find that a project, no matter how "silly," really helps. While rummaging for the 3 images above, I found a whole series of macro shots I took of cut Okra... No,I won't bore you. But those are the projects that get my "creative juices" flowing. And they're a fun technical problem in themselves - try lighting slimy okra!

They made me think of this picture I took a while back of a waterway with fall foliage.

Gary: Love your bee photo, I do like Macro Photography very much. Both technically and aesthetically challenging. I'll do some more rummaging around tomorrow if I have time. This is going to be yet another of those days "off" where I'm not really off. I am officially on vacation, but my first meeting is at 0900 (and I just finished a mini-report for it). Sigh. *IF* I get free though, then I can look forward to cleaning up the house for the holidays. Our place is truly shambaholic... If Santa sees the house like this, he'll pop straight back up the chimney! :D

We had a little snow last night, here is a photo from a few years ago of my Sister and her Husbands farm here in WV, it was part of the underground railroad during the Civil War, ( the original homestead was, not this house but on the same property/location)

Clouds rolling over the coast hills look fantastic. But aren't you supposed to have both hands on the wheel? Stick and throttle anyhow? ;-)

Here's my photo for the day, men fishing for light:

Very apt. Especially in light (pun!) of what you wrote about your take on photography in the other thread.

on take off and landing yes, but once in flight you don't have to, trim the plane to fly level, I did some Arial photography so had the set up to do this and still have a hand on the controls. you know "Top Gun" :roll:

great photos.

Hmm, just looked at this thread on a cellphone instead of the laptop. My photos are getting cropped horizontally, even when I tap on them to expand. Any idea what that is all about? They look fine on the laptop.
